The practicality of the people of the past is sometimes frightening.
The photo shows the bones of people of the 15th century. Archaeologists believe that they were taken out of the graves to free up space in the cemetery. Well, so that the material does not disappear, the bones were used in the construction of St. John's Church in Belgium.

Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard? Or maybe a pig trial is better?
Unfortunately, this seemingly ridiculous statement has too sad a story. In the Middle Ages, there were cases when a pig ate a small child left unattended. In France alone, from the 12th to the 15th century, animals were tried about 100 times. In 1386, in Normandy, a pig that ate a baby was cut off a piece of a wing, dressed in human clothes and hanged by a court decision.

An engraving made three hundred years before Malevich's "Black Square".
"The primordial darkness of the universe before its Creation," from Robert Fludd's Utriusque Cosmi Maioris scilicet et Minoris Metaphysica, Physica, atque Technica Historia, 1617
On the sides of the square it is written: "and so on indefinitely"

Audrey Hepburn and her Yorkshire terrier Mr. Celebrity 1960
It was Hepburn who first introduced the fashion for Yorkshire terriers as pets. A dog of this breed named Mr. Celebrity became the partner of the actress in the films "Funny Face" and "Children's Hour". Audrey took the baby to herself, often appeared with her in public. Women, trying to imitate the beauty, as it was with a small black dress, began to have decorative dogs in chorus.
