“There's no reason to keep a piece of furniture in your house that is so sacred and rare that you can't put your feet up on it and a dog can't jump up on it.

“In 1911 the little town of Nakhla in Egypt was the scene of one of the most remarkable events in historym when a chunk of rock fell from the sky and killed a dog. This is the only known canine fatality caused by a cosmic object. Improbably though this encounter was already, its truly extraordinary nature was revealed only decades later when scientists found that the culprit was not a common-or-garden meteorite, but a piece of the planet Mars.” LittlesFoundCommonKnownPiecesSkyRocksDogEventsObjectsPlanetsSceneGardenScientistTownsExtraordinaryDecadesAstronomyEncountersRemarkableCosmicMarsEgyptChunksCanineLittle TownsFatalityCulprit Book:The Fifth Miracle: The Search for the Origin and Meaning of Life Source: The Fifth Miracle: The Search for the Origin and Meaning of Life

“In 1916, when Johnny Heartfield and I invented photomontage in my studio at the south end of the town at five o'clock one May morning, we had no idea of the immense possibilities, or of the thorny but successful career, that awaited the new invention. On a piece of cardboard we pasted a mishmash of advertisements for hernia belts, student song books and dog food, labels from schnaps and wine bottles, and photographs from picture papers, cut up at will in such a way as to say, in pictures, what would have been banned by the censors if we had said it in words.” IfsWayMayHas BeensSaidBookIdeasEndsSongCareersMorningSuccessfulFivePiecesCuttingDogPossibilityStudentsPaperTownsWineSouthPhotographStudiosInventionLabelsNo IdeaClockBottlesImmensePapersBeltsAdvertisementsBannedSuccessful CareerNew InventionsDog FoodHerniasPaper Cuts Author:George Grosz
