On the 25th of December, of year 1A.D., in the area of Israel, the Virgo (virgin) constellation was in the east close to the horizon. Just below it, and between her legs, stood mercury, Venus, mars, Jupiter and the rising Sun.
33 years later, this would happen again (with one planet missing - can't remember which).

don't ask me how I know

We already know how you know, so we won't be asking.  (Of course, having stated that, some smartass will probably feel the need to ask, to prove me wrong.  You have my blessing for what you decide to do to that individual.)

Throughout the Middle Ages, churches in Britain and Europe were regularly filled to the rafters with the hardworking peasant classes. With no air conditioning and little in the way of personal hygiene, the atmosphere could get a bit ripe with the intriguing odour of the great unwashed, particularly in the summer. This is why a bench seat for the congregation is called a "pew".


At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

A statistically significant number of serial killers is born in the month of November vice other months.

I'm too lazy to make that sentence better.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Every time you flush a toilet, you fill the air with aerosol droplets of tainted water droplets. Flushing with the lid down only concentrates the spray.

I just found a dessicated mouse carcass in my garage.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
