I absolutely love this as a one off. I would love to see one between each series.

It all depends on the length of the main series! Due to production schedules, we have our artists rotate in six week sets. If the main series goes less than six weeks, we fill the remaining spots with a one-of (or two)!

I love your videos, even if I know about the topic already, you always give such a broad coverage of a subject everyone can learn something new.

I am interested in paleontology, and I knew her when was 10 years old. Much respect to her....

I Think I must've been participating in a Barbaric Ritual Known as 'sleeping' when this was uploaded. Man, I love these Series.

This IS the Victorian Period they are talking about, bear in mind. People were a lot more Socially Conservative Back then, far more so than People are Today, I'm happy to say.

Rejected Princesses did one on her! They're amazing, and worth a checkout.

I'm not that familiar with the Cthulhu Mythos, but I remember reading about that in an RPG book. Mind explaining the connection for folks like us?

Gee, a woman doing all the work and having men take all the credit for it? Never heard that one before! Nope, never.

Ive heard her story a few times before, but i always forget how much(often) Mary gets screwed.

ExtraCredits

Yeah, but at least none of the men who stole her work got to be named to receive any credit in this episode. >:)

ExtraCredits

I'm glad you've heard it before, though! It's a bit of a consolation prize and I wish she could have known during her life that she would be celebrated, but at least as a society we are starting to do the work of recognizing and appreciating contributions like hers.

Ironically, I knew about Mary from dinosaur books as a kid, but had no idea she inspired that rhyme.

But what happened to the brother?

Awesome episode! There's something so funny and yet awe-inspiring about Mary's hunt for poop. Maybe it's Dan's voice, maybe it's the art...either way, great job on the one-off! I'm glad I could learn about another Mary who changed the world we live in :) Any reason why you went for the Broad Stree Pump music? I love it and it fits in a way. I just wasn't expecting it.

thank you very much for your beautiful work :)

He learned a trade and went on to a modestly successful career. He outlived Mary and had three children. :)

Our usual one-off music (Odds and Ends) is very peppy, so it didn't fit with the ending of this one. Odds and Ends will still be our default for one-off music, but we'll probably start re-using series music here and there where it seems fitting!
