So the head of the German Nazi party (AfD) is Alice Weidel who is openly lesbian and has two adopted sons with her wife. How does that pan out? Don't they know they would be first to go if their party gets to power?
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"

Given the fact that her party advertises classical roles for men/women, she was asked to comment on this. She evaded.

Something that confused me for about 24 years:
The guy drinking his milk from a pyramid is actually a thing, and not something that Richard Lester made up for a gag. Apparently, the packaging used is by a company called Tetra Pak, and the design is called Tetra Classic.
Reportedly, Niels Bohr said of the design that "[I] never have seen such an adequate practical application of a mathematical problem.” And somehow, this ingenious design, despite evidently making it everywhere else in the world, never seems to have made it here.

Contrary to what I was taught at school (and even at uni), Cleopatra was NOT the last Pharaoh in Egypt.
If my education hadn’t been free, I’d ask for a refund.

Can't be bothered to look for the peanut gallery thread. Silly Deity was banned? I didn't know that. Or forgot.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

I've been mistakenly interchanging diurnal and circadian.
