Happy Friday! Here's the latest installment of non-trivia:
- Aristotle (in Virtue of Prosperity) said that in a decent society craftsmen and traders would not be granted citizenship, and Plato (in Laws) calls for citizens who engage in commerce to be punished.
- In 1765, the government of Hapsburg, Vienna published a catalog of forbidden books. In 1777, the catalog itself was added to the catalog because people were using it as a guidebook of interesting reading.
- There are about 10 trillion bacteria in a spoonful of typical high-quality soil.
- The wealthiest 1% of the U.S. owns 38% of its assets.
- The only Roman emperors who didn’t throw Christians to the lions were the Christian emperors, who instead threw pagans to the lions.

Hmmm also Julius and Augustus Ceasar who both predated Christianity (thus making it quite impossible to throw Christians to the lions). Possibly Tiberius as well.

j, you are correct, I should've clarified that I meant A.D. only, not also B.C.
The only Roman emperors who had the ability to throw Christians to the lions and didn't were the Christian emperors, who instead threw pagans to the lions.
