Stupid Guest Tricks

Okay... Happy Hanukkah everybody, there's your obligatory Rabbi joke! Merry Christmas to those who celebrate it, and Happy Holidays to those who don't! :D:

Even in the english translations there have been at least 3 or 4 major rewrites that I know of, and compairing any two, side by side, shows they frequently can't even agree on the major points, much less the details. And that is LONG after any translation difficulties that arise due to multiple translations and retranslations based on the previous translation through several different languages. Then you have someone like King James who was a poet and reworked everything with an eye to how it flowed off the tongue, even if it required a slight shift of emphasis or meaning (as the then current learned researchers had understood the previous version meanings).

Personally I'll stick with "do no harm". If you think about it, that covers almost everything and dosen't require a thick book and is almost impossible to misinterpret. :D:

Kwahati wrote:Well that makes perfect sense when you think about it. Everybody knows that Jesus went around finding people who didn't agree with him and punching them in the nose! :p:

Kwahati wrote:The thing is, I'd never typed it before, but I realized mid-story that it tells way better as a typed joke. When I tell it "live" I get easily confused and find myself repeating...uh...myself. When I type it, I can make sure I don't give away the punchline early and go into *way* more detail. And especially liked my idea of trying to pass it off as an "important historical story of my people." Makes it sound really important so people *have* to keep reading or risk being rude and ignorant! :p: So, what we've all learned here today is that I'm a verbose, self-important ass...but at least I have fun doing what I do! :D:

I think that myth was debunked, though if you ask me, that little Pixie is over endowed and has a figure like Marilyn's!!!! and I don't mean Marilyn Manson! :twisted: :hysteria:
