		<description><![CDATA[Like any normal person, I decorate my bathroom with Victorian engravings of anthropomorphised monkeys. These ones depict the kind of half ape / half-monkey used by Benjamin Brooke and Lever Brothers to promote Monkey Brand soap, a super-popular cleaning product at the turn of the twentieth century. There&#8217;s an intriguing little strap line at the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today is the birthday of the inventor of nitroglycerin: Ascanio Sobrero. Born on 12th October, 1812, the Italian chemist made the discovery while a student at Turin University, by treating glycerin with hot sulphuric and nitric acids. The industrial and military successes of  nitroglycerin are well known, particularly where it&#8217;s been used in stabilsed forms [...]]]></description>
