Cock (slang) - Wikipedia in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 6 points 16 hours ago

Two instances of the use of "cock" in the works of William Shakespeare are thought to be double entendres for the phallic sense, one being in the 1594 play The Taming of the Shrew, where Petruchio describes his crest as "a combless cock", and another in the 1599 play, Henry VI, Part 2, where a character named "Pistol" declares, "Pistol's cock is up".

Hyperaccumulator (en.wikipedia.org)
 

A hyperaccumulator is a plant capable of growing in soil or water with high concentrations of metals, absorbing them through their roots, and concentrating extremely high levels of metals in their tissues. The metals are concentrated at levels that are toxic to closely related species not adapted to growing on the metalliferous soils.

No. The freaky glass and bone eyes in a bronze caught my attention, and I went down a rabbit hole of lost wax casting and Hellenistic art on the bus home. I just thought it was neat.

If her youngest sons with permanent lead exposure injuries were 14 and 17 in 2023, and the lead exposure event took place in 2005, when her older children were young, some of the math isn't mathing for me.
