A 200-year-old chamber pot with Napoleon hiding inside.
Before social media. Before the internet. Before memes...
There was pottery.
Made in Liverpool around 1805, this creamware chamber pot hides a 3D bust of Napoleon Bonaparte inside, alongside the word "Pereat" Latin for "let him perish." It transformed an everyday household object into a bold piece of political satire, mocking one of Britain's greatest enemies.

The Vietnamese mossy frog may not be invisible, but it comes pretty close. 🐸 This critter’s camouflage provides perfect cover among Vietnam's mossy caves and stream banks. It can project its voice up to 13 ft (4 m) into the distance, making it even more difficult to locate.
