Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Up with the sun

Putin's soul is in the news to distract from tapes of Bush talking about smoking the Weed

I heard the weed-smoking clip on the Daily Show last night. Um, at least he's honest about it, I guess.

Isn't the first commandment different from catholic to Protestants to jews? I know there's some wonkiness in there, somewhere.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

This wasn't an ad for a fictional program, I take it?

Sadly no. But it was also a local news thing, so grain of salt it.

I'm watching the end of Season 6 of SatC. Mikhail Baryshnikov. ROWR. Doubleplusgood ROWR. And, a short man. What is coming over me?

I want to make a Rapture List of people who are kicked off my rapture list. The rapture website people would be on that list.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Isn't the first commandment different from catholic to Protestants to jews? I know there's some wonkiness in there, somewhere.

I think they divvy them up differently, in terms of where the number breaks come.

I should know this but I don't: Are the "10 Commandments" ever referred to as such in the Old or New Testaments?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I should know this but I don't: Are the "10 Commandments" ever referred to as such in the Old or New Testaments?

I think it started as The Ten Suggestions.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Thanks to biblegateway.com:

Exodus 34:28 (New International Version)
28 Moses was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights without eating bread or drinking water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant-the Ten Commandments.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

It's different in Judaism. The first commandment is "I am the lord your god who brought you out of the land of Egypt" (i'm a little unclear in what way that's a commandment) and the ones about coveting property and wives are just one. I believe they appear twice in Exodus (guessing on the book, but it's an informed guess) in slightly different forms. We had a whole class on this in Intro to Judaism.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

This is freaky. They just found the camera of a couple who were killed by the tsunami. There are a bunch of pictures of the wave approaching and hitting the shore. [link]

eta: Go to the "gallery" near the bottom of the page to see the pictures.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I do remember opening Exodus as a teenager, trying to find the Ten Commandments, and finding pages and pages of commandments with no idea which ones were the ten. I may have accidentally flipped ahead too many pages and ended up in Leviticus; but the upshot was, lots of commandments, too few line-breaks.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

That's because there's no commandment requiring editing.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

lots of commandments, too few line-breaks.

There are 613 in total. The 10 are just the ones that would fit on the first couple of tablets.
