Cronos Devouring his Children
An unflinching portrait of base degradation, this sculpture depicts the Greek god Cronos consuming his own offspring. The myth tells of a prophecy that warned Cronos he would be deposed by his progeny, just as he had overthrown his own, tyrannical father. He thus proceeded to swallow each child borne of his wife, Rhea. The baby Zeus, who was to fulfill the prophecy, is present at the base of the pyramidal sculpture. The story of Cronos was later conflated with Dante's tale of the imprisoned 13th century nobleman Ugolino della Gherardesca. The starving Ugolino is damned eternally for the sin of eating his offspring, and became - for generations of artists - a symbol of the loss of reason in the face of inexplicable forces of chaos in the world.

Onobrychis means "devoured by donkeys", from Ancient Greek ónos (ὄνος, "donkey") and brýkein (βρύκειν, "to eat greedily"). This refers to sainfoin's good properties as a forage plant for large mammalian herbivores.
Sainfoin is derived from Old French sain foin ("healthy hay"). In the words of the 16th-century soil scientist Olivier de Serres. It is a wild plant of cretan flora found on Toupaki hill Episkopi Pediados Heraklion Crete. It is a highly nutritious plant , an important forage for heavy working horses in agriculture, and are still an excellent source of nectar for honey production as well as pollen for bee food.Sainfoin contains condensed tannins, and it is these that protect animals against bloat. Sainfoin has also been shown to increase protein absorption. This, combined with its other health benefits, mean that animals grazing sainfoin have very rapid liveweight gains, so young stock can be finished sooner and with very good carcass grades. Sainfoin is therefore extremely useful to low input and organic farmers.

Not only did Galactus have a little planet to chew on, but he even had his herald floating at his side. You can see the Silver Surfer floating by his shoulder in front of the pirate.

I took my mom to Devour, a new-ish tasty little restaurant. Of course I had the lamb shank with polenta (despite being a vegetarian for ten years, I just can't get enough of the lamb). She had borscht and a tasty muffaletta with meat from Choux Choux Charcuterie. Everything is so good here, for the most part made with local seasonal ingredients.
As Giantess Jacquelyn caused panic to the city, she spotted a train going past her gigantic feet. She easily grabbed one of the train cars off the tracks and inspected it. The tiny people inside saw her giant face staring back at them. Giantess Jacquelyn then ripped the front of the train with her finger and began to drop the tiny people into her mouth. The tiny people landed on her warm wet tounge and Jacquelyn took a big gulp. Giantess Jacquelyn knew it wasn't enough to satisfy her hunger and wanted more.
