He descended to the dead.
On the third day He rose again.
He ascended into Heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

Splitting the bill can be an uncomfortable affair. There’s a Portlandia sketch where a group is out for a birthday dinner, and they call in a “Fixer” type that comes in and helps them settle the bill. Who got what entree, who was drinking, how much are we tipping? Bang, boom, there ya go. It’s hilarious because we’ve all been in that situation. It gets awkward quickly. That’s why you need to have an understanding of how you’re going to pay before you all arrive.
And a fair assumption, except for very specific scenarios, is that you pay for your portion. You eat it, you drink it, you pay for it. Unless it’s been made abundantly clear that it’s someone’s treat. What you don’t do in any case, is try to leave before the bill is paid. That’s just straight-up stealing. But that’s the unfortunate position one man was put in by his girlfriend and her friends. Read on for the story.
Can I confess something? There are few modern social rites of passage that annoy me more than gender reveals. Putting aside all the politics surrounding it, expecting parents already had the phenomenon of the baby shower before this nightmare of pink and blue gimmicks came along. As if that wasn’t enough, they also have a tendency to cause a lot of unnecessary drama that could be avoided if you simply let the ultrasound technician tell you if you were having a boy or a girl.
This point has recently been proven by one mom-to-be on social media after she put a bakery on blast for accidentally revealing the gender of her baby to her before her party. She had asked that the cake contain blackberries for a boy and raspberries for a girl, and the baker left a voicemail revealing that they didn’t currently have blackberries in stock.
Unfortunately for this mom, when she complained about this on the internet most people didn’t share her outrage. When you’re preparing for a new baby, there are bigger issues at hand.

Theories about the causes of the Salem witch trials range from hallucinogenic mushrooms to psychological disorders and economic pressures. However, a new scientific study may have identified the real cause behind the infamous events in Massachusetts that led to the trial of more than 200 people and the execution of 19 by hanging over 300 years ago. The study points to the invention of the printing press in the 15th century as a crucial factor. By greatly increasing the spread of information, the press helped disseminate books on “demonology,” which fueled fear of witchcraft. One such book, Malleus Maleficarum (or…
