I learned about a website called Cutting Edge Christian that thinks Harry Potter books are pure evil and have come up with some hilariously absurd theories, such as green being "Satan's favorite color", due to Harry's eyes being green, caking icing being green, the ink on Hogwart's invitation mail being green and Professor McGonagall's cloak being green.

Satan loves green, huh? I guess that's why grass is green, trees are green, the ocean can look green, frogs are green... :lol:

I learned that there are no definitive versions of "o mio babbino caro" but that there are certain performances of it that turn on my waterworks but good :cry: specifically the one by the late great Maria Callas-

That cats (and ants) can forecast the weather better than T.V. weather reporters. Every time my cat begins licking herself with unusual intensity, or the ants come into the house, I know we're due for rain.
