teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

This would have been the first time the F-bomb was dropped in a Broadway musical, but then Sondheim realised that doing so would have rendered the cast recording illegal to distribute, so they changed it to "Krup You."





It took until Hair for Broadway to allow unencumbered access to the Anglo-Saxon.

Also, the nonsense words in the Jet Song were all just minced oaths:




Now I want to see a production of West Side Story where they just let go, sing "Here come the Jets—/Yeah! And we're gonna beat/Every last fucking gang/On the whole fucking street!"

Rod Serling of Twilight Zone fame had an older brother, Robert, who was a respected and much honoured aviation journalist. Rod hired him several times as a technical expert for work on various scripts.

If you have a dog that likes to chase bubbles, you can buy the solution in beef or peanut butter flavor. Who knew?

President Andrew Jackson was known as a violent and profane man, sort of like Trump, but with measurable personal courage.

He however kept an African grey parrot as a pet. During his funeral, his pet parrot created a stir by interrupting the eulogy with loud curses in both English and Spanish.

Hehe

We have an African Grey.  Have had her about 25 years now and I still don't know why she doesn't curse.  It's not like she doesn't hear it often enough.

That Titanic was considered unsinkable is a ex post fiction concocted for dramatic or moralizing effect.    Before she made headline everywhere by taking 1600 people down with her, no one thought she or any ocean liners were unsinkable.
