"Crown shyness" explained...kind of.

From an article:

Crown shyness is a phenomenon observed in some tree species, in which the crowns of fully stocked trees do not touch each other, forming a canopy with channel-like gaps. It is also known as canopy disengagement, canopy shyness, or intercrown spacing.

What did surprise me was the notion that the cause of this phenomenon is unknown; I had always assumed it was a manifestation of contact inhibition (that is what I assumed) of growth. Apparently it's not so simple.

 Burning methane trapped under the ice

 I read that because of the pressure and cold that there were huge lakes of liquid methane at the bottom of the oceans. Getting it out is a whole nother horse of some other color.

I know I shouldn't, but the first thing I thought about was the amount of maintenance a thing like that would take.

Church of St Ignatius in Rome and has this fossil cut in half in the marble on the floor.

 I wonder how they explain that in a 6,000 year old world.

How god-like of him.

What a great question. God is all powerful, but he has let the devil exist since the very beginning. What kind of asshole would do a thing like that?

There is an anesthetic of familiarity, a sedative ordinariness, which dulls the senses and hides the wonder of existence.

A pope (I think it was Gregory) thought up the 7 deadly sins, codifying it from nine lose to 7 hardcore damnations, tossing out three and adding Lust. He also ordered priests be celibate. He did this so that priests couldn’t hand down their property to their sons. These two events eventually got translated into human sexuality being the work of the devil. And because of this prick, you are offended when you see a woman’s breasts in public. Oh, and he was the same pope that invented confession...yes, invented.
