HOW disappointing?
Harvard Law School has a
reputation for excellence...and
apparently human flaying, given
that a 17th Century book that was
thought to have been bound in
human skin has been shown to
actually be bound in sheepskin.
The Spanish law book contained
the inscription “The bynding of
this booke is all that remains of
my dear friende Jonas Wright,
who was flayed alive by the
Wavuma on the Fourth Day of
August, 1632”, hence the whole
Hannibal cover belief, Reuters
reported.
A Harvard conservation scientist
found that the glue consisted
of cattle and pig collagen, the
publication reported.
Binding books in human skin
was actually quite common and
the organisation has two other
books thought to be bound in
human leather, Reuters said.
That’s Dr Little Wayne.
How many pharmacists tweeted
Jimmy Fallon last year when he
asked viewers to contribute to the
hashtag #MyDoctorIsWeird?
We ask, because Fallon read
out a few prescription labels that
must have made the dispensing
pharmacist chuckle.
There was the doctor whose
name was Wayne Little, so all
bottles now read ‘Prescribed
by Little, Wayne’ (courtesy of
@SamLamPen), or the doctor
whose name was Son Dang, so
that labels read ‘Dang, Son’ (from
@EthanAmerine).
@TapDanceGuy had an addition
for the ‘What Not To Do’ list,
with the story of the clinic that
had a promotional calendar from
a funeral parlour in the waiting
room...
NOT one for Prozac.
The internet meme famous for
never looking into the causes
of his unhappiness, Grumpy
Cat, has celebrated two years of
unhappiness...or uncelebrated,
we guess?
