First comment. Note the subject line, Fool. They have the
spam-filters turned up pretty high where I work, but ALL of these
posts of yours trigger them. : )

Second comment. Aren't you usually ANTI-religion? If one
does take at face value that Constantine got a meteor at just the
right time, it does make it very probable that there are at least
"more things under Heaven and in Earth than are dreamt of", right?
Shouldn't you be saying things like: "Some historian probably
wove the meteor report into the story, even though it happened three
years BEFORE the battle."
