Abandoned Cat Little Tora, 1947. A family finds an abandoned kitten and takes it in.  But one of the children is jealous of the attention shown to the newcomer and runs away.  In 1947 war orphans were everywhere in Japan.

A great example of prehistoric art, and one of the oldest artworks, the Lion-Man was found in 1939 in the Stadel-Höhle im Hohlenstein Cave. It was car...

 Netflix presents a dating show where blind dates are hidden under tons of makeup in order for the individuals involved to react only to personality. This is a remake of a British show of the same name. Excellent prosthetics. The Brits. People either love this or hate it. If they used my face to indicate animal nature and mental issues it would be considered ridiculously overdone. I could see wearing this on a 'date', I sure could.
