INTERNA
I) Never mind the boring puristic display, Wellcome‘s Skeletons special exhibition is absolutely worth seeing as it will turn you into an ardent hobby anthropologist searching the skeletons for signs of diseases and guessing their age and gender. On display until September 28.
II) Raisins and cereals. They don’t go together. Period. It’s like yellow and purple. People won’t cease to try and convince you that it’s oh so tasty and oh so chic, but it’s not. Ask your taste buds and optic nerves for confirmation. Thank you.
III) While reading a bit of Ancient Greek prose , I’ve noticed the existence of a strange ear fetish in the Greek mythological world, mainly manifested in a multitude of stories telling of snakes licking protagonists ears to give them the gift to hear the future (Cassandra) or to understand the voices of animals (Melampus). Anyway, I think it’s something I’ll definitely keep in mind next time I meet a snake. Might be useful.
IV) The invisibility cloak is almost here and I’ll soon be able to break into the Grant Museum and steal their selection of Blaschka works. Yay!
But what would Jesus you do with an invisibility cloak?
Yetused says:
Those Greeks definitively had something going on with ears and noses. Big noses and ears were a beauty ideal, as it stood for intelligence (you can hear a lot with big ears, you know) and good senses (big nose smells all wonderful scents).
My mother always told me that story.
