    Following the death of her husband, this widow spent the rest of her life building a nonsensical mansion. But why did it need 2,000 doors?

    In ancient Egypt, servants used to coat themselves in honey. Can you guess why?

    -VR
    Must be either because crocodiles don't like honey, or as a way to collect the cat hair while dusting.

    Why do we shake hands? Now verging on extinct, for thousands of years the act has played a fascinating role in human interaction.

    She was described by the Secret Service as "more Nazi than the Nazis". But how did this British socialite come to be in Hitler's closest circle?
