Except the Other Way Around

I'm not worried though. Still a lot more to play. Yanks pitching, though this weekend didn't show it, won't hold up for the rest of the season.

Jolting Earthquake

Got me out of bed at 3am this morning, more of a big slapping jolt instead of the shaking wave effect I've felt before. Nonetheless, I dig earthquakes. I thought it was a pretty big slam, since I'm usually a decent sleeper and this thing tossed me about. I was thinking there'd be some damage around town, but it was centered off-shore and was only a 3.5, pretty weak comparatively. I hate admitting this, but I was hoping for some damage. Just some crumblings or chaos for a little bit...oh well.

Unicorns in the Bible

A great site I ran across today, its mission to combat that wacko out in Kentucky who opened a Creation Museum depicting dinosaurs riding on Noah's ark. The Unicorn Museum gives biblical evidence for the existence of unicorns. Heh, heh, heh...if it's in that book, it must be real.


I love asking Evangelicals and certain other sects if they believe in the literal words of the bible. Of course they do. But hardly any of them have the book in Hebrew and ancient street Greek (the languages of the testaments). So how can you believe in the literal words if you're reading translations? They've been translated from original languages, to other languages, eventually down to English. We have a hard time sometimes translating the correct meanings into words just between our Romance languages, can't we argue a least one thing is lost in those original texts due to translation? And if one thing is lost, doesn't that kill the notion that you believe literally in the text? Of course! Because you're reading what wasn't meant to be read!!!


Case in point this Unicorn topic. It's there in 9 places in the old King James versions. So when the King gathered all those scribes to make his ultimate edition of the Bible, either the translators stumbled on to the existence of unicorns in ancient times, or they mistranslated someone trying to convey a rhino or one horned goat or something. Either way, I win in my argument. After all, who's going to argue that pagan unicorns actually existed with the Israelites? Heh, heh, heh. More info here at that website.

"Save me from the lion's mouth:
for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns." Psa 22:21

"He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn." Psa 29:6

"His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh." Deut 33:17

Some good info about the unicorn argument here as well (this is where the quote is from below). I especially like this thought on the mis-translation of the texts and thus people thinking Moses had horns. People for hundreds of years believed it just because it was written as it was written. Will you fall into the same trap?

"...due to a translational error in the Latin Vulgate, many Bibles and works of art (including Michaelangelo's famous statue of Moses) portrayed Moses with horns. In Exodus 34:29 & 35, Jerome translated Hebrew as "had horns" instead of "shone" (synonym in Hebrew - "qaran" can mean either. See Strong's #7160 and Psalm 69:31)"

Is Mandy Going Downhill?

At first I thought this was Drew Barrymore with some bad makeup or some vampire goth girl. But it's my ex Mandy Moore. What's going on here? Where's the sweet cutie I'm used to???














Not used to seeing her look like that. In case you need some good wholesome Mandy pics, here you go...this is much more like it.

Screaming String Rays

How disturbing are these pictures??? That stringray is screaming bloody murder!?! Shame on these people for just taking those animals and molesting them in that way. But then again, dumbass stingrays for hanging around people in the water. That'll learn em.

Another Loss for European Cinema

One day after the Film world lost Bergman, ancient Italian director Michelangelo Antonioni dies. Of course I found his obituary on BBC News since the U.S. news agencies aren't concerned with real artists and spend their days following hacks like Michael Bay and superficial talents. Anyway, I saw his most famous film, Blow Up, in a theatre in Oakland when I lived in San Francisco. I loved the 60's mentality and nudity up on the big screen. Sigh. Those swingers. Where have they all gone?
