In 1995, a man named MacArthur Wheeler robbed two banks at gunpoint, he was arrested mere hours later because he didn't wear a mask. instead, he decided to coat his face in lemon juice because he read that lemon juice can be used to make invisible ink. His logic, was that it would make his face invisible. And reportedly, he said to one of the tellers "don't worry, I have a face, it's just invisible". The only thing he did when he was arrested was sigh dejectedly and say "but I wore the juice!". His case is actually still in academic journals regarding the fact that people with low intelligence do in fact believe that they're smarter than everyone else.

在1995年，一個名叫麥克阿瑟·惠勒的人持槍搶劫了兩所銀行，他幾個小時之后就被逮捕了，因為他沒有戴面具。他決定用檸檬汁涂滿自己的臉，因為他不知從哪聽說檸檬汁可以用來制作隱形墨水。據(jù)報道，他對其中一個銀行柜員說，“別擔心，我長了臉，只不過臉是隱形的”。他被捕之后做的唯一一件事就是垂頭喪氣地嘆氣，說“但是我抹了檸檬汁呀！”他的這樁案子仍然記錄在學(xué)術(shù)期刊里，證明了低智商的人確實相信他們比別人都聰明。

They cut the damn pubic bone apart. Yes, through the pussy and all.

stitchmidda2
They weren't the giant ones used for cutting trees. They were very small and were used to cut part of the pubic bone away if a baby got stuck in the birth canal. This was before C-sections were a thing. If a C-section was performed back then, the mother almost always died. And if the baby stayed stuck it would suffocate and the mother would die a slow death from exhaustion or infection from either trying to push the baby out for days or the dead baby rotting inside her. So this was the best option they had at the time, cut the pubic bone away to make more space for the baby to get pulled out.

不是用來砍樹的那種，一開始非常小，是當孩子被卡在產(chǎn)道的時候用來切除部分恥骨的。這是在剖腹產(chǎn)流行之前，因為當時如果進行剖腹產(chǎn)，母親基本上100%會死。但是如果嬰兒卡在里面，嬰兒就會知悉，母親就會要么死于精疲力竭，要么死于生產(chǎn)導(dǎo)致的感染，或者死嬰在她的體內(nèi)腐爛。所以這是他們當時最好的選擇，把恥骨切掉來讓孩子有更大的空間生出來。
