Ok, everyone, what book is sacred enough to you to get sworn in on?
Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

A final #NobelPrize post - video of the post-banquet dancing. I hope you've all enjoyed all the photos and videos of the week - I wasn't planning to post so many, but everyone kept asking for more! Well that's it folks - I don't have any left. Back to the real world now. #ozchem
