God broke one of His own commandments when He cuckolded Joseph and that made Jesus a bastard and therefore not the rightful King of Israel.

Once a Nazi ally, always a Nazi ally.

It's like every other version of the old joke where people talk about all the good things they've done but they're never known as that specific kind of do-gooder but the one bad thing, well, that's them. In my experience, the punchline is, "But you gently caress one sheep . . ." but pretty much anything, including, "You ally with the Axis Powers once . . ." works.

I think some scientists did try to eat mammoth once, but it tasted about as good as you'd expect defrosted ten thousand year old meat to. Maybe when they finish cloning a new one they can put some sort of restaurant chain together.

Hey!

This is something I often think about : how do we decide what is of more importance: an individual's personal rights vs the collective right and desire to attain knowledge. For historians this becomes especially delicate in matters of archaeological digs at burial sites, because I'm pretty sure that eg all those ancient Egyptians that now adorn various museums as mummies wouldn't have wanted that. What do we do with their right to have their religious wishes do we do when for example Native Americans refuse archaeological digs to be carried out at their sacred grounds and demand that skeletons unearthed at earlier digs be returned? Or for a more western example: when they found the bones of a Medieval English king some years back who had died at some battle, there was a lively discussion about if he should be reburied at all, and if yes, if the ceremony should be Catholic (seeing as he had died long before the Reformation) or Anglican (he was a king, after all, and his successors had instituted Anglicanism as the English state religion)? They settled on the former, for what it's worth.

I remember reading about a peculiar difficulty that may arise when you're a historian working in the archives of the Roman Inquisition. In some especially difficult cases, it might have been necessary for the investigators to record knowledge that had been given under the seal of the confessional, which by ecclesiastical law demands absolute secrecy - breaking this seal is among he worst things you can do as a Catholic priest. There are still some case records in the archive where parts of the files are forever sealed, because they contain things told to a priest of the Inquisition under the seal of he confessional, and now that both the person who told those things and the confessor are dead, no one will ever be able to read them again.

It's estimated that it is ca. 50 000 mines in the norwegian coastline.

"Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs."

It was supposed to be more merciful and modern than having some guy hack at the victim's neck until the head came off. In Europe at least, you could get people to show up for an execution with any method, if anything they thought the guillotine was too quick to be worth watching. George Carlin has a whole long podcast about this.

Condemning people to the guillotine is just the goon equivalent of hanging from lamppost / first against the wall. Because of that one meme.
