This ritual completed the passage of a person into the afterlife. It involved Horus, the god of the sky, and Thoth, the scribe of the dead, and they compared the heart or conscience to a feather.

From Quiz Don't Go Breaking My Heart

Answer: Queen of Spades

The object of the game Hearts is to have the fewest amount of points at the end of the game. Each card in the hearts suit is worth one point and the queen of spades is worth 13 points. Each of four players takes turns putting down cards, and the person who puts down the highest card of the original suit in that trick takes all the cards and adds the applicable points to their scores. However, if a player 'shoots the moon' and ends up with all the heart cards and the queen of Spades, then they either subtract 26 points from their score, or 26 points is added to the scores of all the other players, depending on the variant of the game that is being played.

Answer: Queen of Spades

In the game of Hearts, the Queen of Spades is usually considered an unlucky card because it is worth 13 points if taken. The objective of Hearts is to earn the least amount of points. The only exception is when the player has all 13 hearts and the Queen of Spades. If the player has 13 hearts and the Queen of Spades, it is known as "shooting the moon". The player with the Queen of Spades gets 0 points, while all other players get 26 points. Question and interesting information submitted by CAGeoBee

Answer: 1970s

The then Deputy Commissioner of the New York State Department of Commerce, William S. Doyle hired an advertising firm in 1977 to create a marketing plan for New York state. The simple I [Heart] NY" design caught on really quickly and has sold well ever since (especially on t-shirts). Though most people think the design refers to New York City, it was actually originally meant to describe the whole state. It is now associated even more with NYC, due to the icon's increasing popularity after September 11, 2001. The same advertising firm who designed the icon in 1977 has since created a new, similar design that says "I [Heart] NY More than Ever".
