Tucked away on a narrow street in the heart of London is a tiny yet intriguing public sculpture known as The Two Mice Eating Cheese. This miniature carving, depicting a pair of mice tussling over a piece of cheese, is said to commemorate a bizarre and tragic incident from 1862. According to local lore, two builders working on the nearby structure got into a heated dispute over a missing lunch—specifically, a cheese sandwich. In the chaos of their argument, both men tragically fell from the scaffolding. It was only later that the true culprits were discovered: mice had snuck in and eaten the sandwich.
The statue can be found on the exterior of a building on Philpot Lane, not far from the Monument tube station, and just a short walk from the historic financial district near the Bank of England. Erected during the building’s construction in the early 1860s, the sculpture remains one of London’s tiniest and quirkiest public memorials—a subtle tribute to an oddly memorable event.
I bet he’d be good at playing pool. Is he actually playing music or is it just sounds when the balls hit the triangle? Incredible hand/eye coordination.
This photo is of an accident scene where a young man and woman are injured and waiting for medical help.
Seeing this picture today, I give another example of true mother’s love. The mother, who broke her leg, still nursing her child. This liver was born of only one woman. No matter how much the mother suffers, the child is small.
He does not tolerate suffering.
This picture is probably the most beautiful picture of the day. There is still no pen that can express mother’s love in words.
No, the word ‘mother’ is enough to describe the struggle. Thank you!
Note: This sentence makes no sense to me. “This liver was born of only one woman.”
Can anyone explain what is meant by the use of the term “liver” in this sentence?
I won’t comment of the main contents of this post (I will not be explaining my reasons so please don’t ask) but the last part seems obvious to me.
In this context, the word “liver” simply means ‘one who lives / thrives’, in spite of everything. Surely a simple reference to the little one in the woman’s arms.
I also thought there might be a different meaning for the word “liver”, other than the internal organ, so I did a lot of research, but couldn’t find anything.
After I read your post, however, I decided to try once more to see what I could find. After a lot of digging, I did finally find something similar to what you described in your post.
In 71 years, I’ve never seen that word used in any way other than to describe the largest internal organ of the human body, and animal livers that we eat.
A pike fish jumped out of the water, probably while trying to catch another fish, and got stuck on a tree branch. It couldn’t escape and died there. Now, a bird has built a nest inside the fish’s mouth.
That fish did NOT simply jump into a tree, it would have had to have been placed there.
If you look carefully enough, you can see that the picture itself has been edited (quite cleverly) to look authentic. I did a ‘Google Lens’ search for the image and it can be found in various places all over the internet.
Caution: PICTURE IS NOT FOR THE SQUEAMISH.
Note: I didn’t write the text.
, HOW CAN I EXPLAIN THIS……?
