zoroastrian matchmaking

Who knew? A Zoroastrian dating service to discourage marriage outside the faith
About 10,000 Americans are Zoroastrians (fewer than 200,000 worldwide), and the hardcore are worried about assimilation, in that Zoros are so mellow and accommodating. Hence, the lovely Roshan Rivetna's matchmaking service pairs up true believers. (The most recent appearance of Zoroastrians in NOTW was their apprehensiveness in India over the declining population of vultures, which help speed up the disappearance of corpses, thus speeding up the soul's ascension to better things.)

Freddy Mercury was a Zoroastrian.

Just one of the many useless bits of knowledge I have jammed in my head.
