Today's JSVB Post fills a gap that has been missing in my blog for a long time: pictures of old-time bare-knuckle nursebot boxing.
Here is a rare photograph of famous nurse Florence Nightingale, who faced off against a mechanical nurse circa 1850. The bare knuckle match went a hundred and fifteen rounds staged at Los Angeles' famous Venice Beach. Nightingale won by technicality after the fighting nursebot ran out of steam. Literally.
