| I don't remember the specific details but I read an article about this a couple a years ago. I think it said some cats can have a parasite that they suspect cause schizophrenia if transfered to people. Yes. The linked article in the original post mentions the parasite T Gondi. A protozoan microbe t... |

| A friend interpreted it "billions of burgers served", and said "you dont care about the billions theyve served. You care about the one you're eating right now". But I am rather sure it meant "billions of customers served". |

| If space aliens landed those signs would confuse them, and lead them to think that McDonald's "serves its fellow man". |

| Yes. She's Israeli. Its a good song. With lyrics that seem to describe someone who just fell to earth from a flying saucer, or was born here as an aspie/autistic. |

| I remember reading a profile a science professor at my old university when I was a student there in the Seventies...almost as an aside and as after thought he said he had a theory that "cat ownership causes schizophrenia". Well...I guess someone finally got around to testing his hypothesis... |

| The term "antisemitism" was coined by a guy named "Bill Marr" believe it or not. :lol: Not the current cable TV comic, but the Nineteenth Century German publicist Wilhelm Marr. Jews had been at odds with their Christian neighbors in Europe for at least 1500 years. But most of tha... |

| It's also not true that people who describe themselves as woke see Jews as white and therefore privileged. You might recall an incident in which Whoppi Goldberg said on television that Jews were not a race and there was literal uproar from the public and she was, as a result, suspended from the sho... |
