“I’d like to solve the puzzle.”

Today at the museum my teacher pointed out that parents often requested that their deceased children would also be depicted when an artist made a portrait of their children. Often they would add a subtle sign that the child was deceased, in this case the girl is wearing a small skull and bones ring.

The cat that can predict death.

Oscar the cat has correctly predicted the deaths of over 50 patients at the Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Providence, Rhode Island, by curling up next to them some two hours before they die. For more that two years, he was present in every death in the home. Nurses once placed Oscar on the bed of a patient they thought was close to death, but he immediately went to sit beside someone in another room. The cat’s judgement proved better than that of the medics, because while the second patient died that evening, the first lived for two more days.
