Freight Train Fandango
Today’s last story comes from the USSR in 1989. E. Frenkel is a leading psychic/mentalist/nut-job who reckoned he could stop vehicles with the power of his mind. He started experimenting, initially with a push bike, then a car and eventually: a train.
The driver of the train reported that he saw E. Frenkel toss his briefcase aside, step onto the tracks, lower his head, raise his arms and tense. Guess what? It didn’t work.
So I think today’s morals are quite clear cut: don’t get you brain smashed in and never wind up a hornet. See you next time.
