Terribilità, the spelling in modern Italian, or terribiltà, as Michelangelo's 16th century contemporaries tended to spell it, is a quality of provoking terror (the literal meaning), awe, or a sense of the sublime, in the viewer, that is ascribed to his art. It is perhaps especially applied to his sculptures, such as his figures of David or in Moses.

The common name 'fireweed' derives from the species' abundance as a coloniser on burnt sites after forest fires.

King Olaf did not sacrifice much, and this displeased the Swedes, who believed that the famine was caused by the king’s laxity. So they mustered an army and marched against him. Taking him by surprise, they burned him alive in his house and gave him to Odin as a sacrifice for a good year.

Adam Harvey devoted his master’s thesis to fooling facial recognition and arrived at the makeup patterns in the image. He says that they work by throwing off the symmetry that the software recognizes as a human face.

Sort of like the old dazzle camouflage used on warships during WW 1 and some in WW 2 to fool rangefinders on enemy subs and ships.
