No Black Hole Or Magnetic Monopole: Tunguska Really Was a Meteor

It is not a well known, but the fact was magnetic monopoles were quite common before 1890s. Most people would just buy one pole, two was considered a needless luxury or waste. But the Big Magnet did not like it and wanted to double their sales. Their magnets with both the north and the south pole languished on the shelves, unable to, ahem, attract customers. So the lobbied congress, and as usual they added a completely irrelevant rider to Sherman anti-trust legislation [wikipedia.org] and banned monopoles as well as cartels, trusts and collusion. Pretty soon they stopped making them.
