What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday?

[Rev. Rye]

There is an experimental music group called Bull of Heaven that's known for making the longest music pieces ever made. How long are those pieces? Well, let me put it this way: in about 7.5 billion years, our sun will turn into a red giant and engulf the Earth. If you decided to start to play all 333 of their releases simultaneously, by the time that happens, assuming that there's some indestructible infrastructure that allows playing music long after the extinction of the human race, 17 of those releases WOULD STILL BE PLAYING.

The longest one (ΩΣPx0(2^18×5^18)p*k*k*k) lasts 3.343 × 10^48 years.

Apparently extremely low frequency sound can propagate through the ultra-thin gas that populate the near vacuum of interstellar space.

So it is not true that in space no one can hear you scream, provided your scream is low enough in pitch.

Jesus was gay

After much reflection and with certainly no wish to shock, I felt I was left with no option but to suggest, for the first time in half a century of my Anglican priesthood, that Jesus may well have been homosexual. Had he been devoid of sexuality, he would not have been truly human. To believe that would be heretical.

Jesus was a Hebrew rabbi. Unusually, he was unmarried. The idea that he had a romantic relationship with Mary Magdalene is the stuff of fiction, based on no biblical evidence. The evidence, on the other hand, that he may have been what we today call gay is very strong.

That disciple was John whom Jesus, the gospels affirm, loved in a special way. All the other disciples had fled in fear. Three women but only one man had the courage to go with Jesus to his execution. That man clearly had a unique place in the affection of Jesus. In all classic depictions of the Last Supper, a favourite subject of Christian art, John is next to Jesus, very often his head resting on Jesus's breast. Dying, Jesus asks John to look after his mother and asks his mother to accept John as her son. John takes Mary home. John becomes unmistakably part of Jesus's family.

So it's likely than one could hear you fart in space?

If your fart was in a range of approximately 70 to 217 GHz, yes. My anal sphincter transmits at a much lower frequency, but it makes up for it in stench.

actually the particular instance of sound which is thought to propagate through near vacuum of interstellar space had a frequency of about one one hundred trillionth of a hertz and originated from a stellar mass black hole.

The movie Anchorman was inspired by this documentary:




Because Will Ferrell saw the absurdity of the anchormen’s sexism and decided he had to make it into a movie eventually.

Breathing fumes from the sewer pipe may not be as life saving as might be imagined.

Evidently, there’s a limit to how many times you can sell your semen.
