Utzi the Iceman was mummified in the dry cold of the Alps about 5,000 years ago. Remarkably, not only was the "Iceman" himself preserved, but so were his tools and belongings. Take a look at his toolkit, which includes some "tinder fungus." Look familiar? We're pretty sure he wasn't using this as tinder!

There were many in the European Middle Ages and beyond who believed cats were the epitome of evil...Popes Gregory IX and Innocent (ha!) VIII were notorious cat haters. However, plenty of art portrays upstanding characters such as this little fellow in monk's robes. What a darling little Benedictine!
