I think it’s better to talk about sex than about iodized salt.

Instead I left the carriage dejected, thinking to myself “this would never happen on the Hogwarts Express”.

This wine is one of the vintages of Hell – but do not allow yourself to be dissuaded from tasting it upon that account!

Aum recruited highly educated followers, including more than 300 scientists with degrees in medicine, biochemistry, biology, and genetic engineering. These academic specialties may have driven Aum toward chemical and biological rather than nuclear weapons. […]

Many Aum scientists, however, were second-rate. Even though they graduated from some of Japan’s best schools, they typically were not leaders in their fields. Aum gave them a second chance at their careers. Aum lured scientists with promises of unlimited funds and the opportunity to conduct original research. Aum did not wait for scientists to simply show up at meetings; they actively proselytized a number of graduate students in the hard sciences, promising research funds, state-of-the-art laboratories, and other inducements. Aum’s offer was quite attractive because these individuals did not have many opportunities to conduct their own research and writing. In the real world, these scientists were often just cogs in a wheel, but in Aum they could be chiefs of the cult’s science and technology agency and research what they wanted at an impressive facility with a great deal of money.
