Isabelsaved by the ring =P

After succumbing to a fever of some sort in 1705, Irish woman Margorie McCall was hastily buried to prevent the spread of whatever had done her in. Margorie was buried with a valuable ring, which her husband had been unable to remove due to swelling. This made her an even better target for body snatchers, who could cash in on both the corpse and the ring.
The evening after Margorie was buried, before the soil had even settled, the grave-robbers showed up and started digging. Unable to pry the ring off the finger, they decided to cut the finger off. As soon as blood was drawn, Margorie awoke from her coma, sat straight up and screamed.
The fate of the grave-robbers remains unknown. One story says the men dropped dead on the spot, while another claims they fled and never returned to their chosen profession.
Margorie climbed out of the hole and made her way back to her home.
Her husband John, a doctor, was at home with the children when he heard a knock at the door. He told the children, “If your mother were still alive, I’d swear that was her knock.”
When he opened the door to find his wife standing there, dressed in her burial clothes, blood dripping from her finger but very much alive, he dropped dead to the floor. He was buried in the plot Margorie had vacated.
Margorie went on to re-marry and have several children. When she did finally die, she was returned to Shankill Cemetery in Lurgan, Ireland, where her gravestone still stands. It bears the inscription “Lived Once, Buried Twice.”

In Moscow, Russia, there are stray dogs that ride the subway trains on the same schedule each day.





“They jump on the train seconds before the doors shut, risking their tails getting jammed. They do it for fun. And sometimes they fall asleep and get off at the wrong stop.”

Philographics sintetiza conceitos filosóficos em formas geométricas
Na época da faculdade, tive um professor que adorava dizer que escrever é arte de cortar palavras. A frase, atribuída a autores que vão de Carlos Drummond de Andrade a Voltaire, serve para ilustrar o poder de síntese. Ao meu ver, entretanto, poder de síntese mesmo tem as imagens, que no lugar-comum podem valer mais que mil palavras. Exatamente o que ilustra Philographics, projeto do designer gráfico Genís Carreras.
A princípio, a ideia de Genís era combinar filosofia e design gráfico em uma série de 24 pôsteres que explicassem teorias que vão do Livre Arbítrio, Existencialismo, Relativismo e Dogma, entre outros.
O problema é que, quando a gente se apaixona por um projeto, ele acaba tomando proporções enormes e, de repente, você se vê cortando várias coisas (que podem ser desde palavras até ideias). Foi aí que o designer percebeu que tinha deixado muitas teorias legais de fora e resolveu dar continuidade ao trabalho, buscando financiamento no Kickstarter para criar pôsteres, cartões postais e um livro nas versões analógica e digital.
Philographics agora tem 95 imagens, cada uma delas combinando formas geométricas, cores e uma breve definição da teoria, criando uma espécie de dicionário visual de filosofia.
Abaixo, separamos algumas imagens deste projeto incrível.

You can buy a floor tile with your name on at the Shakespeare’s Globe in London. The bigger the donation, the bigger the tile. John Cleese bought one for himself and a bigger one for Michael Palin, under one condition: they had to spell Michael’s last name wrong: it now forever says Michael Pallin.
