This table may seem odd in that there is a foot and four ears on it - but in fact the whole table top is made of petrified human remains. It was made by Efisio Marini and gifted to Napoleon III in 1867, and it can now be seen in the Musée de l’histoire de la médecine in Paris.

Auntie is unimpressed at MAGA municipalities who suddenly have a come to Jesus moment when the Dear Leader wants to build concentration camps in their towns. Who did you vote for, darlings? And why are you surprised? Where,exactly, do you want to lock up those dark-skinned folks you voted to deport?
