We sacrificed the Quagga (Equus quagga), extinct South African mammal of the horse family, on the alter of vanity. Look at this thing; it’s pure Instagram fire. And that’s just an engraving, published London 1815. Photo Universal Images Group via Getty Images.

Flight experiments with the Ville de Paris balloon-airship in Sartrouville, France, photograph by M Branger, from L'illustrazione Italiana, Year XXXIII, No 47, November 25, 1906. I sense a common theme.

Cartoon from "Le Rire", Paris. Wilhelm II, Emperor of Germany depicted as a one - man orchestra conducting the affairs of Europe. In my native language, idiomatic Texan, this is roughly translated as, “talking out of one’s ass.” Photo Universal History Archive/Universal Images Group via Getty Images.

I was impressed by this history hipster’s commitment to Casual Friday Zhukov but was disappointed to learn it’s a portrait of some early twentieth century rando. Unidentified man, his chest adorned with medals, many for cycling, skating, and skiing.

So the dentist told me the bone lumps below my tongue were called “mandibular tori”.

I made a horn sign and said like bulls in Ancient Greece?

Dentist said “I never thought about that.”
