Covering yourself in water to protect from fire: You see this a lot in media and a lot of people seem to think it works and post rather confidently about it online. The truth is that it will work, barely, and only for a moment. After that it makes things worse if you arent already dead. Firstly when you splash water onto yourself it's not like it creates an even barrier. Most splashes off and just leaves a thin layer or drips. Clothes will absorb it so it can be said to be "even". As you go into the fire the water will at first act as a barrier. It will take the heat before it hits your skin. Where does that heat go? Into the water. If you are only in the fire long enough to not heat it to boiling point you'll be ok, but it is a THIN layer and a lot of fire, and you very quickly will have a layer of water boiling on your skin and in your clothes. But mostly it's a moot point anyways. With fires it's not usually the heat that kills you anyways. It's the lack of air.

2024-04-30 07:40:32 +0000 UTCFrom what I've heard, a lot of polytheistic religions actually had a pretty direct transitional route into monotheistic ones like christianity. This route is due to the fact that often these religions would accept other gods from outside as well as their standard ones. They already believe in x, y, and z so why not another? So religions like the Norse and the Roman ones often didnt outright *deny* the christian god as much as think of it as "just another god". The issue comes when they start to accept that belief too much, and say "the christian god is the ONLY god" - that's where you start getting friction, and from it a lot of blood spilled.
