    I think you'll find that, due to the Holy Trinity, the 12 disciples plus Jesus equals 15 people

        Makes sense, when I passenger jet hits a mountain at 600mph and explodes into a massive fireball the people sat in row 13 rarely survive.
        Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
