    When we moved to Xenfora some of the signature options didn't come over. In the old software signatures were limited by a character limit, on Xenfora there are more options and there is a character number and number of lines limit. I've set maximum number of lines to 4 and unlimited characters.

If you’ve never listened to a podcast called The Dollop, be warned that it is crude and sinks to the lowest depths of the humor to be found in each topic. But frequently very funny.

In a recent episode they tell the sick story of Houdini’s rivalry with scam-artist/sex worker/medium Margery Crandon and her surgeon husband. Quite a story it is.

Couldn't get into it. Comedians who laugh at their own stuff ... nah.

I hear ya. The premise is that each episode one guy reads a well-researched story from history and the other guy extemporaneously riffs on it.

I never realized that a big lure of Psychics at the time was that they were sex workers but it makes perfect sense and is well-documented here.

I’ve never thought of it as that crude
