This came back to me again and I got to share it.

If you can't be bother to play it I'll summarize some key points:

Jesus invented the alphabet.



Nope the above gif is obviously Satanic lies. And you know, even though "W" didn't exist until English speakers thought it easier to just fuse w U, Jesus totally invented it. And Jesus totally spoke English and not Aramaic.

Also Jesus totally invented the letter X but couldn't think of a letter that actually started with X and so you get

X is for Example.

Anyway, any of y'all who knows linguistics or history are probably facepalming.

Pretty cool graphic though.  Stuff I knew already mostly, but it's really interesting to see the evolution in motion. 

X is cris in Cristos because it works for the letter, not Cristos is X because... Cristos.

I swiped the gif from a university website. I'd actually like to see the full tree of all the scripts that come from Phoenician.

That would be pretty exhaustive.  Lots of languages ended up using descendants of those letters.

"Faith is believing without seeing or understanding."

And that's a good thing?

Can we ravage and pillage the Vatican, Grandpa Viking?

I couldn't tell you how much shit like this I was forced to sit through as a child.

If you do, count me in.

There needs to be an anti-stupid spray.

I have an idea: we take the warning labels off everything that shouldn't need one ("Do not hold blade while motor is running", seen on a chainsaw) and let the problem sort itself out.

Somewhat agreed. In this case, there is children to think of, and it's actually a serious thing, not alarmist bullshit. It's similar to my mindset on seatbelt and helmet laws. Society needs to take the training wheels off of adults, but I have no issue with requiring that stuff for minors.

Time for me to be completely gross, but it tickles me that I'm watching that vid and reading this thread while I've got porn downloading in the background.

That said, I think these kids need to brush up on their history and lose the damn saccharine; it's giving me diabeetus.
