Book mentioned Grand Dragon too but I've never heard about Grand Titan and I found it much more silly.

When we first moved to the house in South Carolina, I thought that a couple houses that were side-by-side on the highway heading into town had the world's largest garden gnomes in front of them.  Then I leaned that their different colored hoods and robes indicated their place in the hierarchy of the Klan.

That's wild. Thankfully we have only one group of men in silly (black) dresses here but they sure cause enough issues on their own.

There are enough restaurants in Tokyo for a person to dine out every night for 375 years and never visit the same place twice.

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"

These "ion pumps" are how nerve impulses travel down axons.  (That part I knew.)

My dentist is very willing to answer my technical questions while he works.  He sometimes simply narrates while he works.

He (as do most people) likes it when people are interested in his work.

I have always had a keen interest in medicine.  I probably would have been a doctor, if not an engineer.

For example, I had him set up the table so I could watch, and had the surgeon narrate the procedure, as he performed my vasectomy.

Fascinating stuff.  

Too bad I felt like somebody kicked me in the nuts for two days...

Your dentist performed your vasectomy?  That's a little creepy.   Angel

Quote:House Speaker Mike Johnson, a devout Christian, once blamed the fall of the Roman Empire on "homosexual behavior."

"Some credit to the fall of Rome to not only the deprivation of the society and the loss of morals, but also to the rampant homosexual behavior that was condoned by the society," Johnson said in a radio interview in 2008, as CNN first reported.
