How Close Is Close Enough?
No Two Faces Look Alike
There is scientific evidence that the diversity in human faces came about as an evolutionary advantage.
Sometimes the Foxes’ Ears Go Missing
I had been wondering about this strange looking sculpture. A fox? Possibly. But the ears are not quite right.
Last time we passed this place in Michelstadt a small group of tourists were there with a guide and since we seemed interested we were invited to listen. The figure is indeed a fox, Reineke Fuchs to be precise, the title character of a medieval story which has been told again and again. Apparently every now and again the ears are broken off – the guide blamed local schoolkids – and everytime they are repaired they are little bit bigger than their predecessors, hence the unusual look.
Definitely more than six words this week but I just had to after Debbie’s photo and Queen Victoria’s missing finger.
