Reply to comment by Wurm42 in TIL Tolkien assisted on the Oxford Dictionary's first edition, focused on 'W' words waggle to warlock. He "learned more in those two years than in any other"; and certain etymologies continued to puzzle him for years, with many pages of notes written later on 'walrus' for a lecture at Leeds by PianoCharged
Well, I think That's far from sane

Reply to comment by DMRexy in TIL about cargo cults, where indigenous people of small tropical islands would perform elaborate rituals to mimic air traffic control and marching patterns after witnessing airplanes drop supplies on airforce bases during world war II. by sciencedit
That's the point, they literally saw gifts coming from heaven and some people riding chariots of fire flying through the skies, that religion is the only real one so far
