exposed cerebral cortex of a proletariat bike slut

some fun things I have learned about the catholic church (from another Mary Roach book, love her):

the body of christ (aka a cracker..which I have always found wildly entertaining) can’t be thrown out. The priest HAS to eat it, unless it’s moldy, in which case they are “done away with in the sacrarium.” After a quick google search, I learned that a sacrarium is a sacred room, with a sacred drain that leads down to the sacred earth under the oh-so-sacred catholic church.

Oh, the catholic church and its silly rituals.

also, if someone throws up a cracker, the vomit must be swept up and transfered to a pretty resting spot.
charming.
(I wonder who the fuck has that job)

I’ve been thinking that a trip to look at cathedrals in a certain area would be fun, and in browsing I stumbled across Monaco..which looks incredible.
thank god I’m getting on a plane soon, because I am obsessively reading about travel and other cultures.
yum. all the lox I will be eating and yarmulke- clad men I will be seeing shortly.
