Had we obeyed Our Lady and allowed Saint Pope Pius X to consecrate Russia to Her Immaculate Heart, we wouldn't have gotten to know the product of a tightly-woven family - the leader who bombed a certain location in USA-zip-code 96818.
Had the supposed composer of the Minuet in G not married his cousin (who then proceeded to die at the ripe "old" age of 35), the star of the movie Ama Deus wouldn't have gotten himself into such a tightly-woven booze-fueled job-situation, resulting in his body getting thrown into a common grave at the same age.
Had the supposed composer of the Minuet in G not married his cousin (who then proceeded to die at the "ripe" old age of 35), the father of the composer of Moonlight Sonata, Pathetique Sonata, Fur Elise, his 9th Symphony Ode to Joy, and the inspiration for a disco instrumental named after drinking, which sold two million copies when released around 1976 as a single, while the album sold about 750,000 copies, probably wouldn't have fallen into a drinking problem, likely at the same age.
