- Las Lampreas son animales vermiformes, acuáticos, poseedores de columna vertebrar pero carentes de mandíbula. De esta forma sus estructuras bucales ( ver en la figura ) son unas ventosas, dotadas de fuerte musculatura, que muestran dentículos corneos en círculos concéntricos; todo ello les sirve para anclarse a otros animales acuáticos, marinos o de agua dulce, de los que se alimentan.
El hecho de carecer de mandíbulas les confiere una situación evolutivamente primitiva.

La iglesia de Santa María de Retortillo en Cantabria (Spain), está sobre los restos de la ciudad romana de Julióbriga, desde donde se divisa un precioso paisaje. Este edificio románico del siglo XII consta de una sola nave, ábside, dos puertas de acceso, una de ella oculta por la construcción posterior de la espadaña.
Sobre la portada sur destaca un gran tímpano posiblemente reaprovechado mostrando dos monstruos, un grifo y un león ambos alados, con una cruz griega dentro de un círculo debajo de sus bocas; encima dos ángeles llevando una gran cruz latina.

The church of Santa María de Retortillo in Cantabria (Spain) is located on the remains of the Roman city of Julióbriga, from where a beautiful landscape can be seen. This 12th century Romanesque building consists of a single nave, an apse, and two entrance doors, one of which is hidden by the later construction of the bulrush.
Above the south door there is a large tympanum, possibly reused, showing two monsters, a griffin and a lion, both winged, with a Greek cross inside a circle below their mouths; above them two angels carrying a large Latin cross.
The Watchman’s Widow by Joanne Claque
Still grieving the death of her watchman husband in a terrorist attack during the Outrages, factory worker Rose is struggling to make ends meet. Then she encounters middle-class Annie, a newspaperman’s wife who devotes her time to lobbying for better working conditions.
Rose is desperate to avoid making waves with three mouths to feed. But she can’t sit back and watch women and young girls continue to work in dangerous conditions, including her desperately sick lodger.
Fearing for her daughter’s future and with her husband’s killer on the loose, all Rose wants is justice. Just how far is she prepared to go?
A former residential toilet, now in use as an ashtray, outside of Texas Inn, a restaurant in Lynchburg, Virginia. The sign, reading, "Put yer BUTTS here," has a level of double entendre to it, referring to placing cigarette butts in the tray, but also alluding to its intended usage as a toilet, where users would place their backsides in the normal course of going to the bathroom.

La simbología románica muestra en infinidad de casos a sirenas-pájaro que se les asemeja con la inmoralidad, capaces de atraernos a placeres caducos, falsos y engañosos.
Estas sirenas se representan con cabeza de mujer con una especie de cuernos, cuerpo de ave y pezuñas, y una lengua en forma de serpiente que sale de sus bocas precursoras del mal.

Romanesque symbology shows in countless cases bird-sirens that resemble immorality, capable of attracting us to outdated, false and deceptive pleasures.
These sirens are represented with a woman's head with a type of horns, a bird's body and hooves, and a snake-shaped tongue that comes out of their mouths, precursors of evil.
