More Words, Deeper Hole

In the year 584, in Lyons, France, 43 Catholic bishops and 20 men representing other bishops held the Council of Macon, which included the most peculiar debate since the world began a discussion which, for nonsensical content, surely exceeded the Mad Hatter's tea party. The subject of the debate was a serious world problem of the time: Are women human?

After many lengthy arguments, a vote was taken. The results were 32 yes, 31 no. Women were declared human by one vote.

(Imagine -- if one of those gentlemen had voted differently, Catholics today might be walking nude ladies on leashes up Park Avenue, waiting for them to pee on fireplugs.)
