"When airline pilots are trained to fly a new type of jet, the first time they fly it is with paying passengers on board. All the training and testing is done in a simulator.
Of course they have a lot of flight time in other airplanes and there is a specially qualified training captain in command. However my first jet takeoff was LAX-DEN with 68 unsuspecting passengers."

#1 pure BS. They are counting, Country Houses and Manors as well as Follies which are buildings that were built in gardens as part of landscaping.
A lot of this is BS.

Because it's a f@#king fairytale, that's what's wrong. Believe in yourself, believe in science. That's the only stuff that matters. Believing in made up fantasies other people tell you is the opposite of intelligence.

Mostly, you are right. But believing alone, whether what you believe is real or not, does have an effect on people. Religious people often live longer for example.
Plus, even though people do and have done terrible things in the name of religion, there are a lot of good acts as well.
And on another matter, we know the placebo effect is real.
It's worth experimenting if more is possible there.

If you fold a piece of paper in half a mere 42 times, it would reach the moon.
It only takes about 94 folds to make something the size of the visible universe.

Kendrick, ummm, that’s not the way folding works. When you fold something it becomes smaller. If I take a standard size print paper and fold it in half it is smaller. If I fold it again it becomes even smaller.

And their flesh is toxic yet we still hunt them for their meat, which needs to be fermented just to be "safe" to eat. I truly don't understand food "delicacies"...
