25% worse over what time period?

70% Christian, 3% Atheist, 1% Muslim, 2% Jewish... WTF are the other 24%? Don't tell me there are that many Buddhist/Hindu/Shinto/etc. folks here! Something's not adding up.

I find myself wondering how these figures have changed over time. Did we actually get worse, or have we always been this fucking ignorant?

Nominally "Christian" because they like Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.

I used to dream of a utopia like Star Trek.

Be careful what you wish for.

I am confused both about why immigrants would want to go to the UK in the first place instead of staying in France, and about why French police wouldn't be perfectly happy to see them go and let the UK deal with them.

The hat rivalry with Guinan would've been intense.

I hope Europe is scrambling to launch new satellites to pick up the slack. (For their own sake, not the US', of course.)

I was so confused until I got to the edit.

It's not even a very big house. It looks maybe 40' or so wide and somewhat less deep, so I'm guessing it's maybe 3000 sq. ft. total. I would almost hesitate to even bestow the status of 'McMansion' on it.

Nice try, Padmé.

I'm sure they are. They have to be, unless they're steel inside instead (which is unlikely), because you can't make real stacked-stone masonry that skinny and have it be stable.

And that's my problem with it: it's fraudulent. Not even in an intentional "flouting the rules to make a modernist point" kind of way either; just out of ignorant and lazy design.
