A pewter syringe (1711) recovered from the shipwreck of the Queen Anne's Revenge, famed Pirate Black Beard's stolen flagship. The urethral syringe contained mercury, which most likely treated pirates aboard ailing from syphilis. More info: www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning...

Happy Halloween! Here's evidence of the time I tried to carve a turnip! Believe me, pumpkins are so much easier!
Pumpkins were not common in England, Scotland or Ireland, but folks did carve turnips or beets into lanterns to scare the dead away on this day of thinned veils between worlds

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax
This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

I love this bandage from c.1900 featuring illustrations on how to wrap wounds resulting from accidents involving a soldier, a sailor, a miner, and a woman whose clothes have caught fire. This amazing object is part of the Wellcome Collection in London.

The last time troops policed America was in the 1770s.
We fought a revolution against that king, and wrote into the Constitution the Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments to prevent it from ever happening again.
Pass it along…

You think you know stress?
When I grew up, if you missed a TV show you just missed it.
Forever.

Next time you visit York, take note of this carving of a plague doctor outside York Minster Cathedral. It was recently carved out of magnesian limestone to replace figures eroded by time, as part of the ongoing restoration of the East Front. I love this little fellow.
