Reminds me of when I was quite young listening to the story of Abraham wandering along the side of a hill gathering rock to build an altar. In my mind I pictured him tall and lanky with a dark beard, no moustache, and wearing a dark suit and stove-top hat. Like the only other Abraham I had ever heard of.

3 Guys are in a cafe.
The first guy says "I have the smallest arm in the world." The second guy says "I have the smallest head in the world." The third guy says "I have the smallest dick in the world." They all go to the Guinness Book of World records. The first guy comes back and says, I really have the smallest arm in the world! The seconds guy returns and says, I have the smallest head in the world! The third guy comes back and angrily says, WHO THE FUCK IS JUSTIN BIEBER??? - Oni

quote: Occasionally, when I want to make fun of poor English prose, I say (in a stilted child's voice) something like:
"Today I went to the zoo. And there was a lion. And it went roar. And then I ate ice cream. And it was good. And then I went home. And then I went to bed. The end." I had not noticed until now, how similar it is to the style of writing in Genesis.

ok, i know, unfunny reply.
but that's potentially because bible stories were written for children, and read to children. it's simply the writing style of that particular genre and time period to string together thoughts with vavs. since the original texts lacks punctuation and spacing, perhaps they were used something like periods.

Dammit, dwise1, that avatar is a good 'un!!!!! 1968 head-shop vintage (actual button run through my scanner). Unfortunately, I had misplaced it when Return of the King was in the theatres, but I've relocated it now. I have a few others in Tengwar which say such things as:

I realise that this is not E or C related but it happened today...
There were two girls in front of me in the breakfast queue, discussing the lottery: Well, yeah, I know it’s luckier to use your birthday and your phone number, but mine is 2111198139544997743, and how likely does that sound to come up?

Hi, Panda.
Did you actually memorize that number? Or did you just make up a long one to represent the number that the woman actually said? -Bluejay (a.k.a. Mantis, Thylacosmilus) Darwin loves you.

I don't even remember my own phone number. I thought that putting "[insert date and phone number here]" would have been less humourous.(Hopefully I was correct.)

Now that is both sad AND funny.
Here you had a chance to gather both birthday and phone number information (two essential factors in The Hunt and Chase) in one fell swoop and you blew it. Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

The chance of her own birthday and own phone number occuring in the lottery draw is astronomically small. She has a very good point.
