A cluster of five cases of ocular syphilis in women with a common male sex partner was identified in Michigan, suggesting that an unidentified Treponema pallidum strain might have been a risk factor for developing systemic manifestations of syphilis.

So, they're saying that they'll keep an eye out for their sexual partners?

Apparently, the first person to be offered the role of John McClane in Die Hard was Frank Sinatra. This was a contractual obligation because it was based on a novel that was a sequel to another novel called The Detective, which had been adapted into a film 20 years prior starring Sinatra. Naturally, since Sinatra was already 70 at the time, he turned it down.

It was also offered to Schwarzenegger and Stallone who both turned it down because McClane wasn't badass enough for them since he didn't just slaughter his enemies at first sight but also hid and ran away from them.
So Bruce Wills was offered a record amount of money for the role, but he also couldn't do it because of his obligations to Moonlighting. But then Cybill Shepherd got pregnant and Bruce was finally free to do it.
The movie was a major hit because McClane was not the typical cold action hero but he was also charming and made jokes. Interestingly, when Die Hard 4 came out it didn't have that humor anymore, which made it to be just a generic action movie that did not have anything to do with Die Hard. Apparently, it was because of Bruce Willis who hated the jokes and wanted to get rid of them even in previous movies.
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"

most mammals Consume a total of about 60,000 L of oxygen per kilogram of body mass over their entire lifespan, Irrespective of their total body mass, or how long they typically live. this relationship holds for bigger mammals that live a long time, like humans and horses, and small animals that have a relatively short lifespan, like mouse and the squirrels.
