The first poster featuring the Michelin Man, aka Bibendum, designed by O'Galop in 1898. The slogan "Nunc est bibendum" means "Now is the time to drink." Bibendum toasts with a goblet of nails and broken glass while rival tires slump beside him, because the Michelin tire "drinks up the obstacle."

When Lucy from Compass Books in Dartmouth, Devon, was victim to shoplifting people told her to install CCTV. Instead she put this ancient book thief curse on the wall from the Monastery of San Pedro in Barcelona so book stealers would be consumed by "the flames of hell" with "their members blasted".
A Curse Against Stealers Of Books
For him that
stealth a book from
this place, let it
change into a
serpent in his hand
and rend him.
Let him be struck with
palsy,
& all his members 
blasted.
Let him languish in 
pain crying aloud for
mercy, & let there be be no surcease to his 
agony till he sink to
dissolution.
Let bookworms gnaw
his entrails in token of 
the Worm that diets not,
& when at last he
goeth to his final
punishment, let the
flames of
hell consume him
forever & aye.
(Monastery Of San Pedro, Barcelona.)

I found a nice 200 year old recipe for Kümmel which I've just started. It's heavy on the caraway and less on other spices as it should be. Helpful with the process too, mentioning salt use with the spices and how saffron was used generally for colour along with other things. Will see how it goes ...

To bring back into the light those a country has tried to erase and still keeps trying to pretend is now dealt with, is among the noblest things anyone can do. We owe Catherine Corless so much for her untiring historical work and decency.
