Animal Soup

Whenever I look at one of these I think “you see that? You put your weed in there” though apparently these are for soup not weed. Though the real question is what would be put in them? Would the duck one only have soup with duck in it? Then what about the eel? And ifContinue reading “Animal Soup”

Renaissance Babies

Okay, let’s just get right to the point: Renaissance babies are ugly. Okay, there were a few exceptions, but for the most part Renaissance babies were very ugly especially when it came to painting baby Jesus. Why did they look so ugly?

It is very oldContinue reading “The Doctor, Harlequin, and Colombine”

Monkey King

And it makes sense too: he wears a belt like the monkey king does for a while, porcelain technically comes from the ground and the monkey king isContinue reading “Monkey King”
