sloth unleashed

Bringing the dead back to life with a spinning whirligig figure!  A photograph dated 1920 of the amazing Frankenstein invention of Anthony  A. Barry.   Shown is Mr. Barry's model of a rotating machine "for the application of mechano-therapeutic methods" he claimed would rotate a person back to life.  "By rotating the body in a certain manner it will start the fluids of the body in motion and in extreme cases will even start circulation anew and force the heart to pump, thus reviving apparently "dead" persons."

Old Euclid drew a circle On a sand-beach long ago. He bounded and enclosed it With angles thus and so. His set of solemn greybeards Nodded and argued much Of arc and circumference, Diameter and such. A silent child stood by them From morning until noon Because they drew such charming Round pictures of the moon.
