Days of Odd

History's strangest true stories, in under a minute.

Australia once sent soldiers with machine guns after emus, and the emus won. In 1518, people in Strasbourg danced in the streets for days. Days of Odd tells the weird, surprising, almost-unbelievable stories from the past, and every one of them really happened. Each Short is researched from reputable sources, listed in its description.
