I regularly shop at a supermarket built on a site where people were burned as witches in the 17th century.

A ship's captain was away at sea and died after his ship was wrecked in a storm. Back home, his housemaid was accused of having created the storm and was burned at the stake. And there I am buying lemons and ice cream and toothpaste. It blows my mind.

You're lucky this is a pass fail course. You passed, but just by the skin of your butt.
