The Constant: A History of Getting Things Wrong

Sweet Animal Suite

1/23/2018

Fire-Proof Lizards, Vegetable Lambs and Ball-Biting Beavers

Throughout time people have twisted the most humdrum of creatures until they were fantastical, bizarre, unbelievable monsters. From a logistically unfeasible hybrid to a self-castrating quarry, we're bringing you a suite of four stupefying animal myths, and then tracing them to their surprisingly humble beginnings. Plus, do you know what's in your vanilla flavoring? Do you want to? Well, listen anyway.

My name is Nora Ella am from the United States. I almost lost my life when my HUSBAND that i have been married for 6 years left me to be with another woman. I cried and sober every day, until it got so bad that I reached out to the Internet for help and advice. And I saw a testimony of a spell caster called Prophet Abulele, who help a girl called (Sophia) So I decided give it a try so I contact him for help on (prophetabulelehealingtemple@gmail.com ) and he cast a love spell for me which I use in getting my Husband back and now I am a happy woman. For what he has done for me, I will not stop sharing your good name to people out there for the good work you done for me. I hope God blesses you as much as you have help me to get my Lover back, it is ideal I published this on a local newspaper for Prophet Abulele in other to brings more customers to him, he worth more of this and his reward are sure. contact him on; (prophetabulelehealingtemple@gmail.com) or add him on WhatsApp:+2349022406159

Sorry to say you are missing some info about premodern European fabrics! One word (or rather two) for you- linen and flax. Also, there are Roman mentions of Egyptian cotton from the 1st? Century. Rest of the story is great though! Love this podcast
