"What historical fact sounds fake but is true?"

In seiner Großen Naturgeschichte beschäftigte sich Plinius der Ältere nicht nur mit seltenen Kreaturen und außergewöhnlichen Pflanzen aus fernen Ländern. Er blickte auch bisweilen in seine Nachbarschaft, wo er fast genauso erstaunliche Geschichten entdecken konnte. So beschrieb er auch den Aberglauben seiner Landsleute: Von der Warnung davor, Brot unter dem Tisch hindurchzureichen bis zu dem Ratschlag, gegen Flüche auf die eigenen Schuhe zu urinieren.
🪰 Eine besonders bemerkenswerte Überzeugung repräsentiert unsere hier gezeigte "Augenlichtfliege". Ein politischer Kollege, der Konsul Mucianus, hegte laut Plinius die Überzeugung, sich durch das Mitführen einer lebendigen Fliege in einem weißen Taschentuch vor Augenleiden bewahren zu können. Woher diese Idee kam, ist aber leider nicht überliefert.
🤓 Der Doktor besteht übrigens darauf, dass es sich bei diesem Exemplar natürlich um das Original handelt.
Ob man ihm dabei nun glauben mag oder nicht…genauso verhält es sich ja nun auch mit der Geschichte des Gelehrten Plinius...

A #Ghost at #DenbighAsylum

Joining @NotAHopeInHades and @meoralis for #SpookySaturday

A good few years ago some friends and I snuck into the abandoned (and notoriously haunted) Denbigh Asylum. I took loads of photos that day and when I finally had the chance to go through them I found this one. I sent it to my friend telling him I'd caught him in "ghost mode" and he told me (swore up and down) that he wasn't in that room with me. So here you go... #BelieveItOrNot

Once upon a time in a capitalism far far away there were businesses where the owners cared about the business and the products it made or services it provided and there was more to being in business than just profit maximization.

Not sure if anyone heard me but I saw a pic of The Greatest American Hero and immediately belted out the theme song. I’m alone in my apartment so perhaps a nearby neighbour heard me.
