The list of luminary thinkers
coming out of Jesuit institutions fills volumes of history and
includes Galileo, Descartes and Mersenne. There are many excellent

Watching the rest of them will keep me off the streets. But you know

Susan, or the Flying Spaghetti Monster, then who built the damn
airplane?
