The decimal point thing is actually a myth.

quote:

As recently as 2013 the Daily Mail online, quoting a ‘book by mathematician and scientist Samuel Arbesman’, was running a story about this misplaced decimal point, just like I had believed to be the case. However further digging suggests that the misplaced decimal point story is a myth that was created in 1972 by nutritionist Professor Arnold E. Bender in his inaugural lecture at Queen Elizabeth College, University of London. This was then reinforced in an article in 1981 in the British Medical Journal.

According to the work of Mike Sutton in 2010, the original error was not due to a misplaced decimal point, but more likely the result of bad scientific practice including specimen contamination, and the use of charcoal in heating [while measuring the iron contents of spinach]. Furthermore, Sutton claims that Popeye wasn’t eating the spinach for its iron content anyway, but for its Vitamin A content, or at least he was according to his creator, E.C. Segar. And you’d imagine he’d know. Vitamin A is important for growth and development, so would help to keep Popeye strong!

Just think, if that entrance exam had gone differently we might be looking at Hitlers in European art galleries, oohing and aahing over the artful use of light and space, and then looking him up on wikipedia and getting very disappointed when we reached the 'personal life' section. Like Degas. And instead, the third reich would have been lead by, oh, I don't know, an architecture school dropout Le Corbusier.

Nah, the Nazi's incompetence was pretty much top down. A lot of their proposals for counter attack after they hosed up Russia just plain wouldn't work, and even if they had prepared for Russian Winter, it was a particularly harsh winter. A different Furher would have resulted in more of Europe being under Moscow's control, that's it.

Flying Witch

tl;dr: Makoto is a dark witch (which isn't a bad thing, she's just a witch who's naturally skilled in shadow magic); she lives in Aomori with some relatives, but she's currently visiting her parents in Kanagawa.

A skeleton comes to her house in Aomori looking for her, and her relatives video-call her so the skeleton can explain the situation.

(Read right to left.)







Then Makoto and her friends do some magic to open a really tiny portal between the two houses, and deliver a tear:

I think it's weird how people still believe that becoming dictator and committing genocide was Hitler's plan b in case art school didn't work out.

It's something you get a often in shared Universes.
Some writer comes along to lay some hard truths about how you have to deal with the world as it is, and not rely on faith or things outside the real world.
And it's probably well intentioned and it's because the writer may have come from some hardcore Christian background.

But in the comic world it just leads to situations where Mr. Terrific's origin story is being inspired to become a superhero after the Wrath of God told him a literal ghost story (with added ghosts) and the net takeaway he gets is "there is no such thing as souls. Also get a baller leather jacket that says Fair Play."

Or Mr. Fantastic telling his kids that there is no afterlife.

He also previously met that god and refused him admission to his wedding and that god was threatened by doctor doom, and said god helped set a trap for the fantastic four.
