The first two are just about the best part of Orthodox religion. The metalkids study is weak on methodology but likely correct in conclusion. I’m already tired of the recent renewed interest in Crusades and I cycle when I feel like cycling, not when conditions are ideal. Despite the insanity of English, it already dominates global communications for no other reason than the implacable assertiveness of English speakers. Skipping down a bit, I think the folks in India do toiletry better than all the rest, with the most natural posture and the simplest fixtures, not to mention the most advanced long-term waste management. And science is structurally unable to address much except a very narrow field of human interest.
Regarding the toilet issue: there are special seats and stools that mimic the squat while using a western toilet. They don’t seem to catch on very well, though.
