Pew, Pt. I

Confucius famously said, "Man who farts in church sits in his own pew."

How prescient and extraordinary was Confucius that he:

1) predicted the rise of Christianity
2) understood this new religion's house of worship would take the form of Gothic architecture with seating by long benches
3) could come up with a scatological pun in Chinese that would work perfectly in a future Germanic language with heavy Romantic lexical borrowing
