That's the one about not incriminating yourself, right?

Hee!

Also, the Bill of Rights has "first one's free."

Like maybe God would give us a starship so me and Einstein and Ray Bradbury could travel from galaxy to galaxy...

Am now earwormed with "Highwayman".

I fly a starship across the Universe divine
And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain
And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again....

Unrelated to religion, someone asked me the other day if my breasts were real. I ran quickly through startled, defensive, proud, and shill for DKNY sports undergarments.

She was unfazed by my shockedness, and implied it was a compliment. I don't think she entirely bought my denial. When I related it to someone else, they also thought I should take it as a compliment.

How strange. I'd call it so LA, except the person who asked lived in Michigan way more recently than I did.

It's totally rude!

I do. Otherwise "fifth commandment" is meaningless shorthand. And lord knows, people do use that shorthand.

I would say, yeah, it is meaningless shorthand to me. IME people don't use it.

Well, sure.

IME people don't use it.

And in mine they do.

When I used to know the commandments, I knew them in order. It never occurred to me or those encouraging its learning to do otherwise, I think. Perhaps the difference is that I grew up in Christian countries, but I've experienced it even since leaving them.

When we had to memorize the Bill of Rights in order in high school, we called the amendment the Phil M_____ amendment. He was a fellow student who also wore muscle shirts to school. He had 2 bare arms.

It's totally rude!

Absolutely. I want to draw an analogy of exactly how rude that it is, but I can't think of anything that compares.

I know that I have, at some point in my life, heard people referring to commandments by number, because I had to look them up to know what they were talking about. But I don't think it's happened recently, so maybe it's gone out of fashion.

I think it is rude and a compliment.

Hmm. Every pair of boobs I know is false looks like crap. I'm totally not feeling the compliment.
