Weirdest Thing You've Researched?

No, I don't think so. I should have put that in, but it slipped my mind as I began to climax and pass out. I mean, as I thought about David Carradine.
 
The layout of Shanghai in 1914. Turns out sections of it are walled off and in the wall-off sections you’d find the opium dens and the protitutes. Both of which were largely run by Chinese gang lords and where the Brits and Americans wouldn’t even send their armies. The gang lords had full reign so long as no westerners got harmed
 
The location of the hymen. It's about where I thought it was.

I got conflicting descriptions from the stories. Maybe it's not that odd a thing to look up, but I don't think a lot of writers here bother.

Sorry, we are too busy writing hot sex scenes to lookup such irrelevant trivia as the details of realistic female anatomy.

Death by self-gratification. The dangerous BDSM solo breath control technique that killed David Carradine. Turns out, it's not as uncommon a death as one might expect. Rare, but not unheard of. One shouldn't do such things alone. I was to have a murder disguised as self-inflicted death by misadventure. But if it is described as it happens, I'm not sure I can get it published. Snuffing that way is still snuff. HUM.

Coincidentally, this was in the news yesterday. Might help with your research. 😁

Of course not. While the majority of men didn't wear a gun, most did wear pants...at least most of the time. ;)

Seriously, suspenders were much more common than today and high waisted pants were still common for men.

Angela Rayner, who'll be the UK's Deputy Prime Minister on Friday, considers it to be wholesome family fun.

That's not exactly what she said, is it? "Rayner doesn’t have a publicly stated position on sex work, or choking for that matter. Guido wonders why…"
Talking about anything controversial isn't a thing Labour have wanted to risk over the last couple years, seeing it's basically been their election to lose, and one badly-eaten bacon sandwich or mention of rights of porn actors could cock it all up.

Wonderful. Now I'm picturing Claire Rayner and Nora Batty engaged in erotic asphyxiation. Ugh.

I'll stick to mental images of A. Rayner and that redhead to her side, thanks. Though I bet Clare Rayner (the nation's leading agony aunt for years) would be a great laugh down the pub. Great woman.
 
Oh, I've found myself researching all manner of odd shit. But I do that anyway, even without writing stories: as a kid, I'd get lost in our encyclopedias for hours, just absorbing whatever knowledge waited on each page.

For a story? Maybe my most esoteric research topic was medieval beekeeping and the construction of hives, or skeps, back then.

And most westerns era don't show those people wearing belts through belt loops as you implied.
 
Probably, I know the music of the 80s, but that many stories. I might ask Pops about that.

Yeah, Dad has quite a few writer friends. Some are snobs in the extreme, but others are down-to-earth and lovely folk. Larry and Kat Martin come to mind on the nice people front.

The strangest thing I ever researched was for a paper on Necrophilia and Necromancy when I was completing my degree. My professor made it clear that he was bored with some of the things people turned into him being so mundane and blah.

So I decided to delve into the history of Necrophilia and Necromancy and wrote a fifty-plus page paper on it. I got a 100% on it, but he, in front of the class, told me it was the most vile, disgusting, repulsive, but fascinating thing he has read in years.

It was a rabbit hole. And it was disgusting what people do to dead and decomposing bodies for their own pleasure.

Sorry, Kelliezgirl, but that's incorrect until recent times. Most westerns made between the 30s through the 70s did show pants held up with belts and belt loops (and button down shirts). Pick most A- or B-westerns or almost any TV show on INSP or GRIT (my favorite channels) and you'll see it, on anything from The Lone Ranger to Gunsmoke, from Bonanza to the High Chaparral. The Wild Wild West (Robert Conrad's high-waisted tight pants looked better with his short jacket without the belt) and newer A-budget movies starting in the 80s tend to get it right to some degree, just like newer movies tend to get the revolvers and repeater rifles more correct than most shows in the past that had to deal with tight budgets.

P.S. Again, not talking about gun belts.
 
In the Wild Wild West, much of the clothing was period-correct. However, the guns seldom were. The 1892 Winchester stood in for every rifle imaginable in westerns until the 1990s. The 1892 Winchester started production in, you guessed it, 1892. Remove the forestalk, and it's a Henry, call it a Sepncer, and its a Sepncer. Say it's a '73, and it was. Often, revolvers that weren't made until the 1870s stood in for cap and ball revolvers. Belt loops and zippers weren't in wide use until the 1930s. Both were invented in the 20s. Or maybe introduced.

LIttle off the topic, but I have a model 1894. Wonderful weapon.

If polls are to be believed and she's deputy PM come Friday morning, this could herald a whole new era in encouraging Cabinet collective agreement, not to mention cross-party cooperation. Say what you like about Starmer and Rayner: they know how many children they have.

You could do a whole Lit story about the efforts a politician goes to to get the votes for a Bill to pass. Or hard-working civil servants going beyond the well-known 'get the Minister drunk so they sign off a piece of legislation'. Lie back and think of England...

7 hours until I can vote.
 
I still have my '66 Yellow Boy (reproduction), two matched Thunderer single-shot revolvers (birds-head simulated ivory grips), and a side-by-side 12-gauge coach gun from when I went with my Pops to SASA competitions. Something about the smell of gun smoke and the plinking sounds of the targets falling reminds me of victory in the youth division. I wish Pops felt like competing again. I'd go with him, dress up, and play shoot the outlaws dead again with him.

'Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.' New sleaze for old, anybody?
