The modern use of the caduceus as a symbol of medicine became established in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th century as a result of well-documented mistakes and misunderstandings of symbology and classical culture. Critics of this practice say that the correct symbol for medicine is the Rod of Asclepius, which has only one snake and no wings.

I once wrote in the sex Ed annonymous question box how snakes have sex and the teacher got pissed and threw it away like it was a prank.

That shark is a cake, I can tell from here.
I read that and wondered how a dingo would host a dinner with a shark and apparently I need a nap. (Obligatory "thanks, English".)
Sounds like a description of an artwork in Rimworld.
