    When my kids and I see scary pictures of sharks (breaching, with all their teeth on display, for example), we imagine them singing power ballads. That takes the edge off, too. Total Eclipse of the Shark!

    This is a band inspired by the Beatles: The green one is the lead singer, and the others play instruments. The one on the right plays electric guitar, and the one on the left is the drummer. They’re getting ready to preform their heartbreak hit “Baby, please don’t leaf me now” 🎶🎵

    this is most likely a community missal book for churches, as printing individual booklets was beyond expensive and pretty much impossible. these books were placed in the front and center of the church, and the huge letters allows for anyone in any part of the church to read along and follow the mass. books like these usually had hymns or psalms for the congregation to sing, or the parts of the mass such as the liturgy of the eucharist. churches very rarely owned more than one of these books, as they were pretty dang expensive, but one book could have up to an entire liturgical year written inside of it.
