*Some Chicago Boyz know each other from student days at the University of Chicago. Others are Chicago boys in spirit. The blog name is also intended as a good-humored gesture of admiration for distinguished Chicago boys including those pictured above (we claim no affiliation), and others who helped to liberalize Latin American economies.

Via Milo we get this fascinating video of two athletes going at each other with sabers.

It seems that the video was taken from a flip book that was printed circa 1880. Looks great!

Take a look, everyone. 19th Century media translated into video we see on The Internet. Why didn’t I just embed the YouTube video here? Because the guy who worked on bringing us this short video deserves some traffic.

Anyone who doesn’t think this is neat as all get out has no sense of wonder.
