[url=http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap130408.html][img=images/2013/04/pic130408.jpg popup=false float=right][/url]Britain's got [url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/0/21970879]more classes than we thought[/url]. We used to get by with only three classes but now we've got seven classes.

It isn't just Britain that has classes. Rome had classes too. You could be incredibly wealthy and powerful at one end of the class structure, or you could be a slave at the other end. We know this because some Romans wrote about it.

Early Christians didn't allow classes, at least during communion. They could be as different classes as they wanted to be outside church, but inside they were all supposed to be equal. This introduced the radical and subversive idea that maybe there really shouldn't be classes. That's why Christians later abolished all classes and made everyone equal, just like it is today.

Just remember, however unequal you may be, you're every bit as important to the Invisible Magic Friend as people who really are important.
