I was catching up on Conan this weekend and watched the bit where he visits the Madame Tussaud’s wax museum. This is the best remote I’ve seen them do so far.

Today’s Bloody Yet Truly Morbid Fact! →
Edith Jessie Thompson (25 December 1893 – 9 January 1923) and Frederick Edward Francis Bywaters (27 June 1902 – 9 January 1923) were a British couple who were executed for the murder of Thompson’s husband Percy.
