Interesting fact of the day. In ancient egyptian culture the saying "Eaten the heart" was a reference to grieving without justification, which was one of the mortal sins that would keep you out of their version of heaven.

It was one of the negative confessions recited by the dead during the weighing of the heart against the feather of Maat (sometimes called the feather of truth).

@freemo I wonder if the team "with a heavy heart" is somehow related to that.

@zleap I dont really know but it would make sense.

doesn't really give info on origin, But interesting anyway as a definition.
