About

History's strangest "why" questions, answered in under a minute by a very smug squire. Why did armies march in straight lines? How did kings survive poison? Why did Australia lose a war to emus? Every short takes one odd moment from the past and explains how it really worked, with hand-drawn animation and the facts checked. New shorts every week. Got a "why" you want answered? Leave it in the comments.
