    Ah France. Where some of the weirdest people on the planet live. Nothing they do surprises me anymore.
    Good men sleep peaceably in their beds at night because
    rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.



    Real superheroes don't wear capes. They wear dog tags.

    No... it makes him Satan.

    Seems stupid to go through the expense of changing it then.

    Satan doesn't punish the wicked, as the saying goes Misery loves company and so the Deceiver creates an intricate web of lies to wrap someone up and torment them through guilt, lust, envy, greed, etc. Basically, Satan gets off by torturing others.

    I was picking up on the "identical marriage ceremonies" part.
