In 1456, Pope Calixtus III rang in the New Year by praying for deliverance from "the devil, the Turk, and the comet." Not quite PC, but he was certainly covering his bases.
Happy New Year, everyone.

The physicist Leo Szilard once announced to his friend Hans Bethe that he was thinking of keeping a diary: "I don't intended to publish. I am merely going to record the facts for the information of God." "Don't you think God knows the facts?" Bethe asked. "Yes," said Szilard. "He knows the facts, but He does not know this version of the facts."
