Professorozone,

Was having blood drawn and the phlebotomist, who was obviously Christian, was so happy to have found out that men actually had one less rib than women because, you know, Adam’s rib became Eve. I was not about to correct her as she had a needle in my arm at that moment.

Not to be confused with Sir Isaac Newton’s dog, forgotten villain

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_(dog)

SomeAmateur,

Huh I wonder if that’s connected to Diamond Dogs in Metal Gear Solid V

I’m not very familiar with the franchise, but I did find this:

“Aside from the aforementioned meanings behind the name “Diamond Dogs,” it is also a reference to the David Bowie album of the same name, whose work has previously been referenced in other games in the series.”

The Bowie album title and the album’s group of characters by the same name are often believed to have been inspired by Newton’s dog, so MGS V is at least indirectly influenced by it.

SomeAmateur,

Cool thanks!
