greendroid [OP](10/20/2015) [-] This is a photo of patients from the Waverly Hills Sanatorium Hospital if i am correct. It was abandoned in the 60s and is said to be one of the most haunted places in the US.

It's all anyone talks about every fall. I've never actually been though. I live in downtown New Albany, and I haven't even done the Culbertson Mansion tour yet.

deadlyfoez (10/21/2015) [-] It did not mention that the place was ever used to treat mental illness in the wiki article. I'm not saying that you said it was, just clarifying for others because most of the time people hear of a haunted hospital they think it was used for those with mental illness.

scutmin (10/21/2015) [-] Let me tell you more about the maniac that is Tycho Brahe.
Tycho Brahe owned one of the world's first observatories, and his work was vital towards the discovery of a heliocentric solar system (in layman's terms: The planets move around the sun, as opposed to the sun and planets revolving around the earth).
This man lost his nose during a sword duel, and replaced it with a new nose made of bronze. He had a golden nose that he wore to fancy occasions.
He hated his apprentice--he intentionally gave his student false information and wrote down notes that he knew was incorrect so that his apprentice couldn't benefit from them. Why did he do this? Because SCIENCE! relied entirely on the patronage of the rich during his time period. If his apprentice knew too much, Brahe might lose his easy income.
To understand just how much Tycho hated his apprentice, the only reason he died is because his apprentice told him to go take a piss. Brahe let his bladder explode to spite his apprentice, and took most of his knowledge and findings to the grave.
The moral of this story is that you will never be cool enough to have a golden nose.

And IIRC bulldogs are called bulldogs because they were bred specifically to attack bulls. So attacking things way bigger than them isn't exactly surprising.
But that might all be bull.

formerfunchananon (10/21/2015) [-] About Tycho Brahe: we THINK he died of an infected blader, but nobody is sure about that. All we know is that he went to a banquet, then got sick and died soon afterwards. Whether he was killed by his bladder, the food, or the huge amounts of quicksilver he recieved as treatment, nobody knows.
Also it wasn't a royal banquet, it was held by Peter Vok von Rosenberg - a Czech nobleman.

thegrimgenius (10/21/2015) [-] Brahe was amazing.
He was probably the richest guy in Europe at his time
He had his court midget hide under the table during dinner parties to scare guests
He got most of the proof for the heliocentric model purely because he hated it
He had a pet moose that he tamed that was always a center of attention
Said moose once got too drunk and fell down the stairs, dying.

The first one's not that impressive, bear cubs would run away from anything that was aggressive towards them and little **** dogs like that are always the most aggressive assholes that think they're bigger than they are.

A good life lesson is that, unless you're up north enough to encounter grizzlies, most American bears are massive ******* pussies.
Black bears especially will run from people.

elcreepo (10/21/2015) [-] Bulldog lucky as **** that Mama bear didn't show up
It's not impressive that the bear cubs were scared, those things get frightened of their own shadow
It's if you manage to scare off the mother, who is filled with hormonal rage directed at anything alive that frightens her cubs

mutzaki (10/21/2015) [-] Adult bears have been chased off by housecats on several occasions, so that was a pretty underwhelming fact.
