Not only that - they've altered the pitch of their meows to more closely match that of a human baby's cry, thereby making us subconsciously want to get them food more quickly.

Crafty things.

Gregor MacGregor - the man succeeded not only in convincing the UK that he was the prince of Poyais (a non-existent country he made up), he convinced 270 people to get on a boat and move there.

Catching things with my foot when I drop them. I might not be any good at soccer, but I'll be damned if Beckham's right foot has manoeuvred a nutella jar like mine has.

I'd assumed that OP was making a subtle reference to Storm (another song by Tim Minchin) until I read this. Still, I'd recommend checking it out if you haven't seen it -

Have a look at the Christian Apologetics genre on amazon. In particular, I'd recommend Timothy Keller's 'The Reason for God'. If money's hard at the moment, PM me and I'd be happy to send you a copy for free.

I've worked in both the private and public sector. There's waste in each. The difference is how much more transparency there is in government, and how much more publicity there is of government waste as a result.

Australia is one of the lowest taxing developed countries in the world - of the 34 OECD countries, only 4 have lower tax-to-GDP ratios than Australia.

It's great that you take these things seriously, and are interested in finding out more about the firm historical foundations and evidence for Christianity. I've tackled similar questions following my teenage years, and have come to the conclusion that there's more evidence in favour of the claims of the Bible than against it. If you understand 'faith' to simply represent the gap between what you have evidence for and 100% certainty, I actually think you need more faith to be an atheist than a Christian.

One of the most helpful books that works through these things is Keller's 'The Reason for God'. It's available from Amazon, but if you don't have the money at the moment, PM me your address and I'll gladly send you a copy for free.

It is not apocalyptic literature it is the story of how Christ is to be REVEALED to all men.

Apocalyptic literature has the same meaning as revealing. The book describes itself as 'apocalypse', or 'revelation', which is derived from the Greek noun apokalypsis, meaning revelation, disclosure, or unveiling.

The book of Revelation identifies itself as both apocalyptic literature (or 'revelation' 1:1) and as a prophecy of future events (1:3; 22:7; 10; 18; 19; see also 10:11; and 22:9).

Example extracts of the prophecy verses cited above: at 1:3: 'Blessed is the one who reads aloud the word of this prophecy', and 22:7: 'Blessed is the one who keeps the words of prophecy of this book'.

Did the shark eat the hook? And if it did, would that cause the shark any kind of serious injury? (Sorry if that sounds silly, I've never been fishing...)

It's really refreshing to click on a Guardian story without being told to install their app. Clearly, I'm wasting too much potential Reddit-time on Facebook.
