A man who understands women

I think women are foolish to pretend they are equal to men. They are far superior and always have been. Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her sperm, she will give you a baby. If you give her a house, she will give you a home. If you give her groceries, she will give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she will give you her heart. She multiples and enlarges whatever is given to her. So if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit!

Sir William Gerald Golding was a British novelist, playwright, and poet. Best known for his debut novel Lord of the Flies (1954), he published another twelve volumes of fiction in his lifetime. In 1980, he was awarded the Booker Prize for Rites of Passage, the first novel in what became his sea trilogy, To the Ends of the Earth. He was awarded the 1983 Nobel Prize in Literature.
As a result of his contributions to literature, Golding was knighted in 1988. He was a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. In 2008, The Times ranked Golding third on its list of "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945".

Every four years, our calendars present us with a peculiar anomaly - a day that seems to materialize out of thin air, yet holds a significant place in the passage of time. This day, February 29th, commonly known as Leap Day, is a fascinating phenomenon that warrants a moment of reflection and celebration.

Leap Day exists to rectify a misalignment between our man-made Gregorian calendar and the astronomical reality of Earth's orbit around the sun. Without this adjustment, our calendars would gradually drift out of sync with the seasons, leading to a misplacement of equinoxes and solstices. Imagine celebrating the arrival of spring in the middle of winter or observing summer's peak during the fall. Leap Day ensures that our calendar remains in harmony with the natural rhythm of our planet.

Johannes Gutenberg

Johannes Gutenberg died 3, February 1468 in Mainz, his invention of mechanical movable type printing having begun the printing revolution.
A 180 copy print of the "Gutenberg Bible" changed Europe, helping increase literacy rates and spread of knowledge, as texts, and the ideas they contained, were discussed and debated. Information became more accessible. Until then this had been limited to a privileged few, but thanks to Gutenberg’s invention was now available to anyone who knew how to read Latin.
Or had access to someone who did. One of the most beautiful books ever printed, the Gutenberg Bible was the first in Europe to be mass-produced, printed instead of copied by hand, where assembly-line production of identical texts had not been possible. Although the process was already well-established in other parts of the world. His printing method, with movable metal type, combined some of his other inventions. Including adapted paper with ink made from linseed oil and lampblack. A fine soot.
Letters of indulgence printed for the church in their thousands between 1454 and 1455, were also a big hit. People bought them in the belief they would forgive their past sins.
