There has never been a confirmed fatal attack on a human being by a wild killer whale. However, four people have been killed by captive killers whales, three of them by the same whale (Tilikum).

It’s much harder to kill bipedal monkeys unseen and then hide the bodies in an aquarium.

Europe has a coastline length of 185 000 km.
The USA stands at 153 000 km.
Asia goes for 63 000 km.
Australia gets 35 000 km
Africa is at a surprising 30 500 km.

Canada rules with 243 000 km.

(I rounded to the nearest thousand)

large amount of real coast length per unit of smoothed coast length is an indication of poor inland soil development and soil fertility.

That simple glossaries could actually be cringe. I picked up Scientology: Fundamentals of Thought in the clearance rack in a Half-Price Books a while back, finally got around to reading it, and it has a glossary that takes up something like a fifth of the book’s total length, because LRH apparently believed that the only reason people fail in their studies is because they found a word that they didn’t understand, so he had a big-ass glossary explaining every word he used that’s probably above a preschooler’s vocabulary. And sometimes, he gets it wrong, like defining an authoritarian as “unwilling to change strongly held opinions”, includes some words that I’m 95% certain he made up that aren’t official Scientology jargon (though I can’t confirm it), or including in a definition of China that it was a place “where some believed that human life was of little value.”

Identical twin brothers Josh & Jeremy married identical twin sisters Brittany & Briana. Both couples gave birth to baby boys at the same time. Although technically cousins, the boys are genetically brothers. It gets weirder: Both families live together in the same house.

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"
