A Compilation Of Weird History. by CARLOSZ: 4:35pm On Jan 24, 2018 |
1. The boob washer. It was used to promote and maintain perfect upright breasts using water pressure and cold water. www.nairaland.com/attachments/6597977_img20180124163032_jpegd26ebc52a0cdea67a08ec765b78ea136 2. 110-year-old condoms made from the swim bladders of fish.

3. To study facial muscles, Neurologist Duchenne de Boulogne electrocuted a man’s face in 1862. Medical ethics have come a long way since then. www.nairaland.com/attachments/6598024_img20180124163912_jpeg7427a1c586e118f26894d047a8106ce9 4. A beach official in 1920 measuring bathing suits to make sure they weren't too short. www.nairaland.com/attachments/6598027_img20180124164514_jpege6e0bc255836d5a19c79fd1688a4248b 5. The remains of a female ‘vampire’ from 16th-century Venice was buried with a brick in her mouth to prevent her from feasting on plague victims. She was discovered by Archaeologists in Bulgaria with iron rods pierced through her chest to keep her from turning into the undead. www.nairaland.com/attachments/6598035_img20180124164640_jpegb8e6b7167c63642f44912ebb659b0a66 1 Like |

6. In the 1950s, there used to be ice-cold whisky dispensers, sometimes found in offices. www.nairaland.com/attachments/6598075_img20180124165052_jpegec3466d2b6528053f7bdea03bf4e9a94 7. In the late 19th century, it was believed that masturbation caused insanity. Therefore this device was created to prevent men from indulging in such insane behaviour. www.nairaland.com/attachments/6598082_img20180124165348_jpeg08492cb45e36b45b5f64d04367e16d38 8.

9. Alice E. Doherty was born in 1887 with a rare genetic mutation called “hypertrichosis”, or “werewolf syndrome”, which causes excessive body hair. She is the only known person with the condition born in the United States. www.nairaland.com/attachments/6598165_img20180124170954_jpeg3a38c4c539a320665abb35d473cc8553 10. The Snake Corset. In 1900, Edith La Sylphe invented the “Sylphide”corset, making the very unhealthy ‘snake silhouette’.

Shrek is inspired by a real person, Maurice Tillet, a professional wrestler. DreamWorks Studios petty for this. www.nairaland.com/attachments/6598187_img20180124171634_jpeg1184992f07dadccf02e1f4c4482f4495 12. In homes with usually only one room, the box-bed allowed some privacy and helped keep people warm during winter. It was the main furniture of rural houses in Brittany until the 20th century. www.nairaland.com/attachments/6598195_img20180124171832_jpeg75248fa413930b2d139db66cf09a4211 3 Likes 1 Share |
