In Genesis 12:10-13, Abram tells Sarai that she should claim to be his sister so that Abram would not be killed for her sake. Was it normal for Egyptian pharaohs to kill the husbands of beautiful women in order to make said women their wives? Or is this simply bragging/exaggerating Sarai's beauty?

ASMR is a recent phenomenon. Although it's ill-advised to retroactively apply modern concepts to the past, were people reporting similar head-tingling sensations to certain sounds before the Internet? Were there groups creating tapes or records with popular ASMR "triggers" for an audience?

I noticed that a number of shows and books feature storylines where a character adopts a baby Asian girl from overseas. How did this become the trope for "adopted a child from overseas" in media?
