An Introduction to Spite Houses
🕑 Added 2023-08-11 10:15:01 +0000 UTCThere are dozens of spite houses around the world, and each and every one of them has a bizarre and utterly absurd story behind it. There’s a list of some of the most prominent ones on this Wikipedia page, and I’d greatly recommend giving it a read. It even lists at least one “spite hotel” and, quite surprisingly, a “spite church” that was built in Brooklyn, New York, back in 1907.

Glad I could put together a more amusing video for once!
This made me laugh so hard.
Too bad this was at a time there were no phone cameras to record the proceedings.

For something a bit different, how a video on the disastrous 10-Cent Beer Night of 1974? It occurred when the Cleveland Indians baseball team (now known as the Cleveland Guardians) decided to sell beer at ten cents per glass during a game. Although attendees were limited to purchasing only six glasses of beer at a time, there was no limit to haw many purchases they could make. As you might expect, that much alcohol being consumed ended rather poorly. I found out about it recently while scrolling through Facebook and coming across an article on Ranker.com: https://www.ranker.com/list/10-cent-beer-night-cleveland-indians/melissa-sartore As it turns out, there's also a Wikipedia page for it as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Cent_Beer_Night
