Today, we’re going to witness a light so bright it would instantaneously and irreversibly turn your corneas into charcoal, and oddly, it’s the least dangerous thing about our story. <b>On today’s episode:</b> why the tourist bureau for today’s story drink so much; how the people in today’s episode work with equipment that would rattle an melt your skull off and sometimes want to cry and eat each other; and why the phrase “well, I’m glad that’s all over” is rarely misapplied this badly.<b>And because you are listening to this as a Patreon supporter, you get to enjoy an additional 9 minutes where we discuss: </b>the time we burned down a good chunk of Washington, including the White House; and why you’re welcome for it; the time Germany blew up a chunk of New Jersey and Lady Liberty got popped in the boob with a missile; why people through history were ridiculed for believing in waves; and you would hear about an Australian bloke who DIYed himself into one of the most dangerous world records available.This is episode is a staunch reminder of my desire to make sure every episode surprises and delights. A lighthouse? It’s not the strangest place we’ve visited, but it’s certainly unexpected. It also checks a lot of boxes for being largely unheard of, bizarre, and forgotten. The Hawaiian experience back in 1946 overwhelmed the public’s mind, and no one had time for a building built strong enough to withstand artillery exploding at the touch of mere water. It also hold’s a distinction for being a place where people regularly lose it – and we did an episode about an asylum that caught on fire, so that’s saying a lot.
