Fun Ambrose Bierce (JournalIST) Fact: he went on a Civil War battlefield tour when he was in his seventies . . . somehow this turned into him joining Pancho Villa's army, and disappearing, never to be heard from again . . . what a difference the AARP makes . . .

Fun Benito Mussolini (FacIST) Fact: he was hung upside down at a gas station with his mistress on a meat hook after they'd both been shot

Fun Fransico Franco (Kate and Lauren's Favorite FacIST) Fact: sadly, nothing but this alliteration
