No Brazen Head
| Roger Bacon, aka Doctor Mirabilis, ‘was a medieval English philosopher… who placed considerable emphasis on the study of nature through empiricism. In the early modern era, he was regarded as a wizard and particularly famed for the story of his mechanical or necromantic brazen head. He is sometimes credited as one of the earliest European advocates of the modern scientific method.’ |
| A television commercial for potato chips in the 2000s featured Mr. Potato Head coming home to find Mrs. Potato Head eating potato chips,‘despite being a potato herself... At the end Mr. Potato Head joins in and tells her to keep it their “little secret”.’ |
