Finally... in the safe zone

I have Wednesdays off so my Tue-Thus is usually something like:

Tuesday:"Oh I can't meet Wed, I'm off. Let's talk Thursday."

Wednesday: Off

Thursday:"Sorry I missed Wednesday meetings, let me know if I missed anything important."

Unless you get me on a Thursday or a Monday, tomorrow's no good.

Opinions of the guy aside, I recall it was Neil DeGrasse Tyson who made the argument that it simply is cheaper and easier to go to the moon than to fake it and maintain the coverup.

Like, we can't keep secrets for shit, but that's the one that stays kept?

Dante's Inferno is also effectively fanfiction of a socialite without any real ecclesiastical value. He wrote in the vernacular, instead of Latin, which was what made it accessible and popular.

I had a friend in college who wrote a paper that religion was started by the original nerds who needed to classify and rank which level of angel and spirit.

I believe he argued the term "Angel of Death +2" is as equally valid as one name to the next across cultures and history.

I still think he was right.
