The lovely Phil is modeling the drop safe which formerly served in Man’s Country- Chicago’s legendary gay bathhouse that closed in 2018 after 44 years. You may remember that we also had all the glory holes from Man’s Country, and kept one as part of our collection.

ANOTHER POPE POST!
We all know that the new Chicagoland Pope took the name Pope Leo XIV. Coincidentally, we have a reliquary which contains the remains of the last Pope to take the name Leo- Pope Leo XIII…Crazy right?

A Jenny Haniver like this one is a the carcass of a ray that has been altered and dried to resemble a monster. Historically, they were crafted by sailors, and sold as monsters, demons, or curiosities to land lovers.
The earliest know image of a Jenny Haniver appeared in 1558.

Having a Chicago pope is cool, but I was really crossing my fingers for a Jack-a-pope.

OVARIAN RESIDUE!?? 🤷♂️
This reminds me of the time I was in Japan and I ate the entire reproductive system of a pig in a yakitori hut in place known as “Piss Alley”.
True story. My meal included the ovaries, womb and vagina. It was rubbery like calamari. I liked the ovaries least and the womb most.

Baby bottles like this one were marketed to Victorian era mothers. However, the porosity of the tubing straw and their slanted shape made them difficult to clean. The bottles were notoriously infamous for killing babies due to infection from bacteria, earning them the moniker MURDER BOTTLE!

When I would get spanked as a kid, I figured it was because I was such a terrible child, but after thumbing through these old booklets, I’m wondering if maybe my parents were just kinky?

This guy served 3 years from 1941-1944 for “stealing chickens [in the] night time”.
If he had waited to chicken-nap until just before brunch, I wonder if he would have just got community service?

There’s a pretty incredible pathology museum in the University of Buenos Aires in Argentina. These pics are from our visit there a few years ago. When we went, we had to get a little creative to gain access, I’m not sure if that’s changed, but the place was essentially unmanned.

According to my calculations, this is the biggest slide rule I have ever seen.
Perfect for the 50 foot nerd in your life.
