Episode description

In writing this episode description I looked up the 7 deadly sins. It turns out there used to be more but they were cut down by combining them and then re-expanded before being picked up by Billy Graham of all people. He still holds the record for largest crowd at the Melbourne Cricket Ground - something like 160,000 in the 1950s. More than 7% of the entire city at the time. Insane to imagine.

Some of the sins we lost include Tristitia (despondency) and Ἀκηδία (dejection), which I think is interesting.

None of this really has much to do with this episode, but I thought I should include it just because I want to. You understand.
