Bob Marley died of melanoma, which started in his big toe, and spread to the rest of his body. He inherited the genetic risk factor from his dad, Norval Sinclair Marley, who died when Bob was 10, at the age of 70 or 74, of the same disease.

But the fascinating, and sad fun fact here I'd like to address, and what I was getting to was, Marley could have, and should have, had his toe chopped off, and, despite leaving a bullet in his body as a symbol of his struggles, which, for years, is thought to be what killed him eventually, due to blood poisoning (of which there was none whatsoever) he told his doctor no, because he couldn't bare the, in his mind potential embarrassment of hobbling around on stage. No one would've given a toss, but... pride before a fall.

I've met more ultra-moralist atheists than I've seen from religious peers (for some reason, religion makes people more lax on things)

That's because they have a free moral license to commit heinous acts so long as they regret them afterwards. Atheists have no such excuses.

Those 40 million Chinese people who starved to death were quite glad they had Ultra-Moral Atheists managing their governments. Imagine what those hypocritical Christians would have done!

Fun Fact Tax:

Contrary to popular belief, the first living animal intentionally sent up to space was not Laika, but instead a container full of fruit flies that were placed inside a repurposed German V-2 rocket by the United States on February 20, 1947. All of the fruit flies managed to survive the journey and made it back to Earth, where they were tested for radiation and other changes in their genetic makeup, as they share about 75% of our disease-causing genes.

That's thanks to communism, which is, in itself, a religion. It's based on magical thinking, makes miraculous claims, and worships its leaders as infallible holy men. They just don't attribute it to the supernatural, which somehow makes them even more idiotic.

There is an Eastern Orthodox Church that has canonized Adolf Hitler.
 
Fun fact: I used "Venus Flytrap" when I fucked the user above and below me's woman.

It's one thing to worship an immaculate being who is omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent, who may or may not exist, and entirely another to worship an actual dude who exists in physical reality, and is obviously a completely evil piece of shit, examples including Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, literally every Communist leader.
 
KPFA was the first station to broadcast a radio show specializing in space music, with the debut of Stephen Hill and Anna Turner's Music from the Hearts of Space in 1973. Ten years later, the show – now known by the shorter title Hearts of Space – was syndicated in the U.S. to NPR stations, while remaining at its first home at KPFA.

Bit off-topic, but wasn't Henry's dad at least partly black? But it's a rumour, as far as I know.
