A 17th-Century Book Survived To Tell A Tale Of How It Became A Weapon
Do you know the Latin phrase "scientia potentia est," which means "knowledge is power"? Well, knowledge can be a weapon too! There is such a thing as a ‘prayer book pistol’ that was custom-made for Francesco Morosini, the Duke of Venice, who lived 1619–1694, so the fake prayer book was made some time in the 17th century. The mechanism was designed so that the gun was concealed and could only fire when the book was closed. It was most probably used for personal protection.

PFFT EVERYBODY knows that satan purposely buried those items to test your faith. The World was created 2021 years ago by Jesus, who then founded the USA as the best of everything.

The issue with this is that in todays society we cannot be sure if you are trying to be funny, or if you actually belive it

Or she is in fact an evangelical Christian from Texas and believes this shit because she heard about it on info wars.
Or "she" is a guy who got a random girls name on a website. We'll never know. But we now know your political views and your sense of humor
