The ancient Romans used urine as mouthwash, toothpaste and laundry detergent. Must have drank lots of beer to get enough urine to do the laundry. What a stinky place to live.

Dentures where made from the teeth of dead people in the late 1700s and 1800s. Must have been lots of dentures made after the civil war.

In legal history, an animal trial was the criminal trial of a non-human animal. Such trials are recorded as having taken place in Europe from the thirteenth century until the eighteenth. In modern times, it is considered in most criminal justice systems that non-human creatures lack moral agency and so cannot be held culpable for an act.
