NATO has become an active peacemaker and peacekeeper in Europe and Afghanistan because they probably needed something to do since the Soviet Union broke up.
Quality homework by yours truly.

How paper money started out horizontal. →
You know… in case anybody was actually wondering.
But I did just learn that Canada had green-tinted money first, and that the Americans copied us. So now our money is blue and purple and red and whatnot, and now we may be changing our bills to be vertical, after the Americans.
It’s a loving give-and-take relationship, isn’t it?

On modesty.
dearcoketalk:
Is modesty important? And is there a difference between modesty and humbleness?

Good thing: a safe option for giving up children
Bad thing: another child to grow up in social services.
Maybe the fire stations should give out condoms and other contraceptives instead?

Oh the things I learn.
With a little bit of inference, I think the fact that I am allergic to several antibiotics is related to how badly my body heals even the smallest of wounds/illnesses. And this would be because, as my text book puts it, I have “very sensitive helper T cells”.
Now if only I could understand what this entire chapter about T cells is really talking about. Next stop: wikipedia.

This chemist, Louis Pasteur, is indeed the name behind the process of pasteurizing food. As a chemist, though, people in the medical field got all pissed when he discovered microbes made grape juice go bad because back in the 1800s, health discoveries like that were up to...

““The older I grow the less Christ’s teaching says to me. I am sometimes very conscious that I am following the path of a leader who died when He was less than half as old as I am now. I see and feel things He never saw or felt. I know things He seems never to have known. Everybody wants a Christ for himself and those who think like him. Very well, am I at fault for wanting a Christ...

Godwin's Law →
“As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1.” In other words, Godwin put forth the sarcastic observation that, given enough time, all online discussions—regardless of topic or scope—inevitably end up being about Hitler and the Nazis.
