Top Ten Thing you wouldn't believe were invented in Britain
The Americans would have you believe that baseball was invented by Civil War hero Abner Doubleday in 1839 in Cooperstown, New York. Sadly for Abner, that’s just not true. The first record of baseball (actually base ball) comes from the English book A Little Pretty Pocket Book in 1744. picked by zzz 6 months ago

NSFW... The C-U-Next-Tuesday Coloring Book
’In 1973 I set out to do drawings of women’s genitals for use in sex education groups. I wanted the drawings to be lovely and informative, to give pleasure and affirmation. I organized the drawings into a coloring book because a major way we learn to understand the world, as children, is by coloring.
