Hereditary hygiene

Hereditary hygiene

"Do you see what I mean? Because of modern medicine, more and more sickly individuals get to survive and contribute to the gene pool of the species. If we keep on meddling with natural selection, we'll be left unprotected against any epidemic that comes our way."

"Try our horse shampoo for humans! It contains biotin that will make your hair grow stronger!"

Crusade

Crusade

"You are done, infidel! Your days of mocking God and the Church are over! Get ready to face the Lord's terrible justice!"

"No, brother Athanasius! Don't do it!"

"Good Heaven! I was about to commit an atrocity!"

Political solution

"It's no use, Mr. secretary! We keep throwing more and more wood at it as you told us to, but the fire only grows bigger!"
