Car seat covers badly adapted from a green leafy willam morris print, with WILLIAM MORRIS in a handsome font on the seat cushion. Yes its on temu because the Victoria and Albert museum has a pisspoor selection of car seat covers.

Medicine, natural philosophy, and the influence of Melanchthon in reformation Denmark and Norway Morten Fink-Jensen 1 Affiliations Expand PMID: 17147131 DOI: 10.1353/bhm.2006.0095 Abstract In the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, all intellectual pursuits in Europe were colored by the religious conditions of the age. Accordingly, investigations into nature were unable to avoid issues dealing with the workings of divine power. The reestablishment of the University of Copenhagen after the Reformation of 1536 in the joint kingdom of Denmark and Norway prompted the formulation of an official Lutheran program for the study of medicine and natural philosophy (including anatomy). This program was wholly based on the ideas of the German reformer Philip Melanchthon, the aim being to apply knowledge of, for example, anatomy in support of the newly reformed Lutheran society. Thus, the crown and the church officially sanctioned Melanchthon's thoughts on natural philosophy as a means to apprehend, first, the majestic glory of divine providence; second, that man was truly created and assigned his place by God; and third, that it was demanded of all men and women that they submit themselves to the will of God and the laws of the public authorities.

A nice painting of Uranos, the sky, and father of the Titans. He imprisoned his children inside his wife (the earth), and then one of them cut off his dangle when he was having sex with her. The genitalia were thrown into the sea and because Aphrodite Urania. A week ago, my cat left the bottom of a half-eaten mouse on my rug (she's a farm cat, her job is mousing). It was a strangely perfect half-mouse, it looked like mousepants. and had GIANT MOUSE JUNK. I threw it outside these same doors, and *moments* later this cat appeared. Mythology.

The lovely 1515 woodcut of the Rhino. Wikipedia judgementally states "Dürer's woodcut is not an accurate representation. It depicts an animal with hard plates that cover its body like sheets of armor, with a gorget at the throat, a solid-looking breastplate, and what appear to be rivets along the seams; there is a small twisted horn on its back, scaly legs and saw-like rear quarters. None of these features are present in a real rhinoceros,[4][5] although the Indian rhinoceros does have deep folds in its skin that can look like armor from a distance." It can suck it, this rhino looks rad as hell
