Did you know that Judge Jeanine Pirro’s husband, Al Pirro, a businessman and lawyer was federally convicted in 2000 of conspiracy and tax evasion in connection with illegally deducting $1.2 million of personal expenses as write-offs for his business in NY and Trump pardoned him?
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"

In 1531, Martin Luther claimed that Pope Leo X had vetoed a measure that cardinals should restrict the number of boys they kept for their pleasure, otherwise it would have been spread throughout the world how openly and shamelessly the Pope and the cardinals in Rome practice sodomy.

I was wracking my brain over who Vera Farmiga (Bates Motel) reminds me of, and it just occurred to me that she resembles Elizabeth Olsen.

It turns out that Pinto Colvig, original voice for Walt Disney's Goofy, was actually working on animation milestones while Uncle Walt was still doing his paper route. He even managed to make the world's first animated feature film 20 years before Snow White.





Sadly, only five frames' worth of the movie still exists, but this is one of them:

Two bizarrely disparate facts I just learned:
1) Apparently, alcohol doesn't always evaporate when you bake it into baked goods.



Then again, apparently in this case, this would just mean about 8mL total of alcohol would be left in the cake. If the 11-year-old is of normal size, he might feel a buzz in the first seven minutes if he eats the entire cake in one go.
2) Anthony Quinn once took issue over Elia Kazan casting Marlon Brando as Emiliano Zapata in Viva Zapata. They decided to settle the issue by trying to see who could piss farther into the Rio Grande. Brando won, so Quinn accepted a role as Zapata's brother, which won an Oscar.
