Totem animal(s) #14: ET fish, or sharks, or dolphins. Previously in beam me up.
William Heath, “A Monster Soup commonly called Thames Water,” 1828 - part of Dirt: the Filthy Reality of Everyday Life exhibit at the Wellcome Trust.
The Thames remained relatively clean until 1815, when - in an effort to relieve the city’s overflowing cesspools - it was decided to connect house drains to sewers that had previously functioned principally to carry off rainwater. This inadequate infrastructure, combined with the impact of overcrowded slums, poor workmanship and the growing popularity of the flush toilet, soon turned the river into a giant stinking sewer.
Totem animal #7: whale with “bunnyfish” as remoras. Kozyndan, Camouflage, 2007. (Or, totem animals #8, #9, plus a couple hundreds more?)
