I saw a research study that concluded dodge ball is an “unethical tool of oppression.” Sounds to me like somebody’s still salty because they couldn’t dodge a ball.

When Albert Einstein met Charlie Chaplin in 1931, Einstein said, "What I admire most about your art is its universality. You do not say a word, and yet the world understands you." "It's true." Replied Chaplin, "But your fame is even greater. The world admires you, when no one understands you."

Was Jesus short? Luke 19 tells the story of Zacchaeus, a tax collector who was eager to see Jesus as he came through Jericho. Luke 19:3 says that Zacchaeus "was trying to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because he was short in stature." (1/7)
