In the Anglican communion, black stoles are worn with white surpliced for Morning and Evening Prayer.

The Anglican Church forms one of the branches of “Western Christianity”, which consists of the Latin Church of the Catholic Church and the denominations historically derived from it which includes Anglicanism, Lutheranism, Presbyterianism, Methodism, and other Protestant traditions. The term Western Christianity is used in contrast to “Eastern Christianity”, and Western Christianity makes up nearly 90% of all Christians worldwide.

The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS Church) is one of the largest Mormon fundamentalist denominations and one of the largest organizations in the United States whose members practice polygyny.

Polygyny is a form of plural marriage, in which a man is allowed more than one wife (i.e., it is a narrow form of polygamy, and distinguished from other forms of polygamy such as polyandry). Polyandry is a form of polygamy whereby a woman takes two or more husbands at the same time. Polyandry is contrasted with polygyny, involving one male and two or more females.

Berengaria of Navarre was the wife of King Richard I of England. She never visited England during her husband’s reign.

The first work conceived by Tim Rice during his collaboration with Andrew Lloyd Webber, was originally titled “Come Back, Richard, Your Country Needs You” and a single of the same title was recorded in 1969. Rice eventually collaborated with Stephen Oliver and turned the project into Blondel, a musical about King Richard.

All three English kings named Richard died violent deaths (although the exact details of Richard II’s death are not known). Richard I died of gangrene from a wound received while besieging a castle in Normandy, while Richard III died of blows to the head, at the Battle of Bosworth Field.

The USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD-6) is a Wasp-class amphibious assault ship, and the third United States Navy ship of that name. It was named in honor of John Paul Jones’ famous frigate, which he had named the French equivalent of “Good Man Richard,” in honor of Benjamin Franklin, the U.S. Ambassador to France at the time. The name Bonhomme Richard is derived from the pen name of Benjamin Franklin, the author of Poor Richard’s Almanac.

Benjamin Franklin was one of the first Americans to become wealthy from a brand. He licensed the use of Poor Richard’s Almanack and some of his other publications to print shops from Georgia to Massachusetts, sending them galleys and allowing them to use his letterhead and plates. Some shops paid him for the license, while others he owned partial interest in.

Sweet Georgia Brown, written in 1925, was selected in 1952 by the Harlem Globetrotters to be their theme song. The Globetrotters were formed in the 1920s in Chicago’s South Side, and most of the original players attended Wendell Phillips High School there.

In a right-angled triangle the side opposite the right angle is known as the hypotenuse. The two sides forming the right angle are the catheti.

In an isosceles triangle the catheti are equal in length. In scalene or equilateral triangles there are no catheti because there are no legs. Speaking of legs, in this recent analysis Sandra Bullock was rated as having the best pair of legs in the world.

In Ancient Greece a hecatomb was a sacrifice of one hundred bullocks.

If you remove the bollocks from male cattle, you get bullocks.

Male praying mantises are much smaller than females, and are often - but not invariably - eaten by the female while mating.
