Next, and this is one of the most stunning images I've ever seen, it's Catholic wife and Protestant husband, separated after death by religious bigotry. One more, and hopefully you'll never need to know this: How to Land an Airplane if You are not a Pilot.

From Jesse Leimkuehler, and this is fascinating, it's Hitler's food taster tells of poisoning fears.
