Vatican finds that men and women are prone to different sins.

What I find amusing is that, in the Middle Ages, lust was considered pre-eminently a female sin. Yep, all women were positively on fire, just waiting to tempt those poor celibate monks and priests into damnation. In anthropomorphizations of the Seven Deadlies, Lust is often female when the others are all male.

Today? It's the guys who have the lust problem, and pride is the chief female sin.

A change in perception, in fact, in both or in neither? Who knows.

And by WRONG, I mean 'fatuously glossing over classical mechanics in a cutesy poetic fashion that is inaccurate and wrong.'

If you are going to write about music and physics, be sure you thoroughly understand both. Half-assed platitudes you vaguely recollect from high school are insufficient.

Okay. Okay. I no longer need to douse a poor unsuspecting email list in flame. Much better now.
