Well.. now I thought about it.. wasn´t there that roman soldier that not only poked him with a stick, but with a lance, and drew blood?
There´s been one or two, or a thousand pictures painted of it I seem to recall
Edit: Ow, they even gave the dude a nickname

Ha. Stabbed Jesus with a lance? Saint. Obviously.

I was joking but there´s always the weird stories..
So nobody gets to be declared dead twice?

Some people die twice.but men die earlier. So women live more years, so at any given time you´d expect more women to be alive than men.
But because of this there are more men born than women (105/100), so it almost evens out in the long run

Reply to TIL Europe's wine owes its existence to the grafting of vines to American grape root stock that weren't vulnerable to a species of aphid that was destined to wipe the industry out. by salton
It´s ongoing* existence.
Title´s first line feels ambigious to me. Reads a bit like the industry only started after using the American vines, instead on existing industry saved by using that imported vine.

Eisenhower´s first reaction upon realising the true brutality of the camps, the day he visits, before the war even ended: invites journalists and tells them to document because he can imagine people claiming it didn´t happen.

>[...]as soon as I returned to Patton’s headquarters that evening I sent communications to both Washington and London, urging the two governments to send instantly to Germany a random group of newspaper editors and representative groups from the national legislatures. I felt that the evidence should be immediately placed before the American and British publics in a fashion that would leave no room for cynical doubt.”

Cured from blindness, became a saint.
Just pick and choose whatever you like. That´s how it works, no?
