Tiger stripes are not just fur deep.     Tiger skins are also striped with the same pattern as the fur.

If you don’t believe me you can go and shave a tiger to see for yourself.

There are outside perimeter guard geese at a prison in Brazil.

When vitamin C was first isolated, the chemist responsible saw it was an acidic tasting sugar like compound. He didn’t know its molecular structure but did have a sense of humor. So he proposed to call it Ignose. Ign- for ignorant, -ose is common chemistry suffix meaning sugar, as in lactose.

When that was rejected, he proposed to call it godnose, for God Knows.

Wow. Jesus didn’t preach Christianity, but Islam.



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"

Religions exist largely through totally uncredited theft of intellectual property, if other people’s bullshit counts as intellectual property.
