I made shepherd's pie (yes, I cook). They asked if a friend who was up from Christchurch could join us? Yeah, why not? She saw the food and asked if it was vegan? Yeah, you can see the beef-mince, right? I told her it was made from 100% free-range, grass-fed vegans. Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???"

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"

Cancer cells taken in 1951 without the knowledge or permission from Henrietta Lacks, cervical cancer victim, has been continuously cultured in laboratory environments for research purposes down to the present as the HeLa cell line. The total weight of cancer cells cultured from the HeLa line since her death from cervical cancer is equal to 30 times her body weight. The HeLa cancer cells are effectively immortal because they show no hint of reproductive senescence after 70 years. Normal human cells can divide only limited number of times before exhibiting reproductive senescence and stop dividing, so any single cell line from normal human cells can’t be cultured indefinitely.

There are several immortal cell lines.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
Chastity belts only date from the 16th century, so the picture of Crusaders locking their wives in them is a myth. They didn’t come into widespread use until the 19th century, when they were in vogue primarily as an anti-masturbation device.

Turns out that if you set a song for an alarm, it had better be an official Apple ringtone. Even if it’s a song you specifically chose because it’s loud as fuck.

I have not used an alarm to wake up in forever.
