Reply to TIL that in 2020, researchers tried to determine the actual effects of ingesting George's Marvelous Medicine (from the Roald Dahl book), consisting of shampoo, anti-freeze, brown paint, floor polish, and 30 other household items. It would cause vomiting, kidney injury, convulsions, and likely death. by derstherower

I'm just not sure why they needed to conduct research on what is very obviously not something safe to ingest.

Reply to comment by Rossum81 in TIL about "The Pearl": An underground pornographic magazine issued monthly between 1879 and 1880. Its contents were three serial erotic tales simultaneously, devoted to sex in high society, incest, and flagellation. It was shut down by the British authorities for violating standards of obscenity. by DasherPack

I am actually oddly addicted to reading The Pearl now. It's rather titillating.

'Rampant engine of love' is a phrase new to me. I'm going to have many laughs reading these. My lesbian sensibilities are positively tickled.
