Located in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky, the Vent Haven Museum is the only museum in the world consisting of entirely ventriloquist figures and is nothing short of creepy.

This Steyr Hahn pistol, originally made for use in World War I, was converted to fire 9 mm Luger ammunition to serve in World War II.

Franz Fiedler (17 February 1885 in Prostějov, Austria-Hungary – 5 February 1956 in Dresden, GDR) was a photographer.

Fiedler was born in Prostějov, near Olomouc in Moravia and was a pupil of Hugo Erfurth. He was regarded as an eccentric during his apprenticeship in Pilsen, and worked in 1905 and again in 1912 with Rudof Dührkoop in Hamburg, and from 1908 to 1911 with Hugo Erfurth in Dresden. At the 1911 world exhibition in Turin he won first prize and had another exhibition in Prague in 1913. He belonged to the circle of Jaroslav Hašek and Egon Erwin Kisch and in 1916 married Erna Hauswald in Dresden where he occupied a studio at Sedanstraße 7.

From 1919, and coincidental with his friendship with Madame d'Ora (Dora Kallmus, of Vienna who was later to move to Paris) he began to work with a 9×12 folding camera and in 1924 became one of the first professional photographers to use a Leica. After expanding his studio in 1925, he took part in the exhibition “Film und Foto” in Stuttgart.

This album of c. 1925 comprised of gelatin silver prints shows a nude woman playing and flirting with a human skeleton. Images are entitled ‘Narre Tod, Mein Spielgesell’ – ‘Fool Death, My Playmate.’

A strange fungus called devil’s tooth (Hydnellum peckii) excretes a red “juice” that’s sure to catch your eye—but don’t worry, it’s not blood! When the devil’s tooth is moist, it oozes droplets of the liquid. But this only happens when the fungus is young—as it grows, it turns brownish and stops secreting the jarring red juice. Believe it or not, this “bleeding” mushroom is not toxic! It is, however, mycorrhizal. This means it has a symbiotic relationship with the roots of a plant (in this case, coniferous trees), helping to provide nutrients while deriving carbohydrates produced from photosynthesis.

Sick Trick

For Josefina Rivera, November 26, 1986 was a night that she will never forget.  Angry after a fight with her boyfriend, she left their apartment in a slum area north of Philadelphia to go to work.  For Josefina, work consisted of walking the streets in search of a willing ‘john’ who would be prepared to pay for her sexual favours, which usually consisted of a brief liaison in the back of a car or a sleazy motel room.  All she needed was a few quick tricks so she could buy Thanksgiving dinner for her family.
