And the church thinks they are one of the 7 capital/cardinal/deadly sins.

I was going to add that, but didn't have the energy.

I have beef broth most days, but never exclusively. I like food.

It’s long been assumed that sea stars/starfish have no heads, since any of their arms can take the directional lead while traveling. It turns out that the opposite is the case: they’re all head with no body.

starfishes were hatched as bilaterally symmetrical larvae just like other animals,  only later do they absorb their torso and tail, and develop 5 radially symmetrical arms from their heads to become star fishes

The first person to die in a car accident was Mary Ward on 31 August 1869. It happened near Birr, County Offlay, Ireland. She was in the car (a homemade steam-powered "Road Locomotive") with her cousins' sons and her husband when it made a turn so sharp, she was thrown out of the car and was immediately run over by it.

When Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins returned from the Moon they had to go through customs and declare moon rocks, moon dust, and other lunar samples at the Honolulu Airport in Hawaii on July 24, 1969.
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"

Do you think it had something to do with their childhood?
