Jesus said that the two most important things are to love your God, and love your neighbour. He said that they were the most important and so therefore everything should simply be an extension of that, like I robots three rules. FUN FACT: Thats been the case for over 2000 years and people still listen to the coat-holding-at-stoning-needed-to-be-struck-down-by-god-to-be-converted-never-even-met-Jesus-indecisive St Paul when they read the bible and mindlessly parrot a name and a number! Not that I'm a bitter fucking follower of Christ or intend to become Pope through an extensive campaign of murder and trickery so I can enforce the two greatest commandments by simply removing all else from the Bible except for the stuff about forgiveness and perhaps the old testiment. No, that would be a phycotic plan to either change Christian views or at least out all the homophobes hiding within it.

Fun Facts:
1. Most English dinner terms stem from the Norman Invasion in 1066. Deer=English, Venison=French. Sheep=English, Mutton=French. Cow=Eng, Beef=Frenches.
2. Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia, discovered a way to impale a man from bottom to mouth which would keep the victim alive for days. He also impaled an entire village to scare away the Ottoman Turks. It worked. ALSO when a noble complained about the stench of the dying villagers, Vlad stuck HIM on a pole and said "Let's see if the smell can reach you there". Also also, he is supposedly the inspiration of Dracula.
