This situation is very much the opening scene of a James Bond movie.

There’s a candidate who looks just like him.

Dude does some batshit crazy stuff and gives me unsettling “unicorns from Charlie the Unicorn” vibes, but his videos are fun as hell to watch. Another couple of highlights include setting the inside of a truck on fire with a laser from about 100 yards away and casually intercepting four tornadoes at extremely close range in one day by himself. A true renaissance man.
He’d better hope he’s a renaissance man, because there’s a decent chance he’s going to have to be reborn after one of those stunts.

Black holes are imperfections in the firmament caused by humans sending rockets too high. They’re left there to teach humans not to get too big for their britches.

Per Wikipedia, there were four.
Pope Sergius could refer to:
- Pope Sergius I (pope 687–701)
- Pope Sergius II (pope 844–847)
- Pope Sergius III (pope 904–911)
- Pope Sergius IV (pope 1009–1012)
I am so proud of myself for the turn the Science & Engineering thread has taken in the last 10 minutes.

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Pope Sergius the Wise? I thought not.

It’s not the sort of story a Calvinist would tell.
