Kellogg’s Corn Flakes were invented partly in an attempt to reduce sexual drive.
The etymology of the word ‘toxic’ is traced to the Greek word for ‘bow’ and relates to the ancient military practice of dipping arrows in faeces before firing them in an attempt to kill initial survivors by infection.
The ‘Rx’ that precedes many hand written prescriptions...

Spreepark.
Spreepark is an old abandoned amusement park initially run by East Berlin and opened in 1969. After ownership changes the park failed and now apparently carries more than ten million Euros in debt. The park is full of abandoned rides and broken windows and during winter is mostly buried in snow. It wasn’t the easiest thing to get inside, but well worth the effort.

2. Wild Nothing - Gemini
This album is...
