me taking a multivitamin gummy and doing a push-up
@sugar @Gargron Fun fact: The item the man is holding is not the Rod of Asclepius, which in myth was wielded by the Greek god of healing and medicine, Asclepius, but is actually a caduceus, which is associated with Mercury and Hermes (and is commonly confused with the Rod of Asclepius).
@michaelgemar @sugar
Yes, odd isn’t it. (Thank you US Army Medical Corps 1902. 🙄) So here we have commerce trying to hold back death, I assume unsuccessfully. The sculpture is therefore portraying the end of capitalism maybe?
@michaelgemar @sugar @Gargron Hermes was the psychopomp, who carried the dead to Hades. So is the skeleton with the scythe. Maybe the muscular guy is taking the caduceus away from him.
@michaelgemar @sugar @Gargron Probably from a military facility/hospital. And probably in the United States. They've been confusing the two symbols for decades.
@sugar Since the first doctor, all we can do for now is to change the time, place, cause, duration and manner of death. That's all.
@sugar I have always liked that sculpture, but never appreciated its full significance until now.
@sugar Death looks so disappointed.
@sugar Dude picked up a caduceus instead of the Rod of Asclepius.
