The strange tale of the week is about Chow Hayes, Australia's first gangster. Chow may have been the one that left school at 8 years old, but Kris and Dana are the ones that prove they are completely unable to do basic arithmetic. In a world of razor gangs, Chow still always brought his gun. Our dapper subject of the week shows us Why He's Strange and will have you loving him almost as much as he loves his Topsy... You're not supposed to love extortionists, murderers, and thieves though you weirdo.. Stop that right now.
Knowing the date is hard, understanding math is harder, but Christmas Trees are fantastic.
