Museum displays 200-year-old condom with naked nun and three priests

A unique artefact that combines history, eroticism and art is on display at Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum: A nearly 200-year-old condom adorned with a provocative illustration of a nude nun choosing between three priests with tracked penises.

First Republic moneyboxes, treasure boxes, spinning-wheels and keys to them. Part 4 - Tresoria cash box

A couple of days ago I managed to steal two wallets again in my hexagonal terminology, because as usual they were without keys, I had no choice but to keyto make the key again and to preserve the information about this type for future generations and the unfortunate ones who get their hands on the same type of wallet as traditionally without a key.

A heist like an action movie: Perfect action, explosives and ancient golden treasure

A robbery of extremely rare ancient gold jewellery took place in Assen, the Netherlands, on Saturday morning. The target of the elaborate theft was the Drent Museum. The thieves used explosives to get inside. Three unique royal bracelets from the Dacian Empire and a 2,500-year-old famous helmet from Cotofenesti were stolen from the museum in a flash. They were gone before the police arrived.

Jaccob - investment advisor (I exchange gold for gold)

Although I'm of the opinion that people with a background in electrical engineering shouldn't have much say in this subject, math is just as much a part of theand like other sciences, mathematics is an obvious subject, so I figured there was a brief window of opportunity to be exploited.

Looking behind it at the wide ploughed fields, the idea for an article on this topic flashed through my mind.
