At one time, the RCC burned parents at the stake for teaching their child(ren) the Lord's Prayer in English.

Thus manifesting the love and tender-mercies of God, at least I assume that was their sole motivation.

Further, even possession of the Bible in English was consider a grievous offense.

They loved their Latin!

the german holy roman empire
In 768 Pepin’s son Charlemagne became King of the Franks and began an extensive expansion of the realm. He eventually incorporated the territories of present-day France, Germany, northern Italy, and beyond, linking the Frankish kingdom with Papal lands. On Christmas Day of 800, Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne emperor, restoring the title in the west for the first time in over three centuries.
After Charlemagne died in 814, the imperial crown passed to his son, Louis the Pious. Upon Louis' death in 840, it passed to his son Louis II, who had been his co-ruler. By this point the territory of Charlemagne had been divided into several territories, and over the course of the later ninth century the title of Emperor was disputed by the Carolingian rulers of Western Francia and Eastern Francia, with first the western king (Charles the Bald) and then the eastern (Charles the Fat), who briefly reunited the Empire, attaining the prize.
After the death of Charles the Fat in 888, however, the Carolingian Empire broke apart, and was never restored. According to Regino of Prüm, the parts of the realm "spewed forth kinglets", and each part elected a kinglet "from its own bowels". After the death of Charles the Fat, those crowned emperor by the pope controlled only territories in Italy. The last such emperor was Berengar I of Italy, who died in 924. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Roman_Empire

If a female ferret does not have sex for a year, she will die.

It actually takes 142.18 licks to reach the center of a Tootsie pop.

There is enough sperm in one single man to impregnate every woman on earth.

If 10% of American smokers quit today, it would save the country $63 billion in healthcare costs in the first year alone.

God maybe omnipotent, but he can't understand English! So of course you gotta put folks to death who try to speak to him in English!

Electricity was first installed in the White House in 1891. It was such a new concept that President Benjamin Harrison and his wife both refused to touch light switches due to their fear of electrocution- so the White House staff had to follow them around and turn the lights off and on for them.

Many years later, President Lyndon B. Johnson was quite the opposite. He would often wander the House turning off the lights in empty rooms where they had been left on. This earned him the nickname ‘Light Bulb Johnson.’

It’s been estimated that there are more stars in the Universe than there are grains of sand on earth, but there are more atoms in one grain of sand than there are stars in the Universe.

The red planet (Mars) has blue sunsets. Just as colors are made more dramatic during Earth sunsets, Martian sunsets make the blue around the sun look more prominent, because all the fine dust in the atmosphere is the perfect size for scattering blue light across the sky more efficiently than any other color.

Interesting.

Jimmy Carter installed solar panels on the White House roof.
His successor, Ronald Reagan, promptly had them removed.

There is a huge black hole and a star cluster in the rough centre of the Andromeda Galaxy.

In Tonopah, Nevada, there’s a Clown Motel that shares a lot with an abandoned cemetery, where most of the 300 buried either died in a mine fire or the 1902 ‘Tonopah Plague.’

Antonio López de Santa Anna chewed a natural gum called chicle. Thomas Adams first tried to formulate the gum into a rubber suitable for tires. When that didn't work he made the chicle into a chewing gum called Chiclets, which is still produced today.
