MIss Correct Posture (1956). In the 50’s and 60s’, American chiropractors held a series of rather unusual beauty pageants where contestants were judged and winners picked not only by their apparent beauty and poise, but also their standing posture, backed with X-rays of their spines.

"The Cabinet of Wikipedian Curiosities, a web page of interesting bits, lists, and links culled from the open source encyclopedia.

Samples:

In 1897, Indiana nearly legally declared pi to be equal to 3.2. It would have passed were it not for the intervention of a mathematician passing by.

On 19th January 2038, all 32-bit computer systems will crash, and no one is prepared for it.

We did it, we listed our four recent faux cat skull art pieces. Excited to make more!
3D printed from a scan of a real skull, hand painted and mounted on wood then embellished with real natural moss.

Four pieces available in our Etsy shop: https://moonandmossshop.etsy.com
