For more about the sex trade, check out Sarah Katerine Lewis' Indecent-- she did various sorts of sex work for ten years, is well educated, and wrote quite an entertaining book.

We have to argue about the earth going round the sun now? What next? Whether cheese exists?

[andrewducker]

Does the old testament have a lot to say on the subject of cheese?

Except for proclaiming that cheeseburgers are prohibited, of course.

It was... too long; didn't read.

Probably factually inaccurate.

It can more or less accurately be summarised as "Some say the Earth moves around the Sun; others say the Sun moves around the Earth. In truth, we know that both of them are moving. Who can say which of their movements is more important? God! And God is all that matters, and uppity science should stop talking about things that make the BIble less important, because then people will start believing in evolution, so shut up."
