That Time When

Nicolas Flamel was Immortalised

You've probably heard the name Nicolas Flamel, most likely from the first Harry Potter book, but he was a real man with an... interesting story about his work as an alchemist and creator of the Philosopher's Stone. Of course, there's more to it than that, and also a whole lot less to it.

  • Horace De Vere Cole was a Prankster

    51:07|
    Horace De Vere Cole was a pretty ordinary person for a wealthy man in the late 19th century, except for his obsession with pulling pranks. His obsession has meant that no one is really sure if he had a point to them or not: did he want to thumb his nose at authority figures and pretentious art? Or was he just in it for a good, if sometimes obscene, time?The following music was used for this project: "Sneaky Snitch" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ "Anachronist" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
