I think Jesus was 33.

Yeah, 33--he was 30 when he was baptized, and had a three-year ministry (according to the gospels).

Oh yeah - that makes sense.
I guess that just like math knowledge, there's a half-life for Jesus knowledge if you don't use it....
IE 7 hates the Christopher Hitchens piece. Every time I open it, it gives me a message that it's encountered a problem and has to close, so I can't argue with him, this time. I'm nodding along with most of you, though.
It means that if Christopher Hitchens doesn't want to have sex with you, it doesn't matter whether or not you're funny.
Isn't he gay?

We just had Julia's (belated) birthday party. 10 little girls and I'm wiped out like I forged an icy river. They were very good, except for chasing Ben.
They're seven and eight years old.
Now I have to go check with people who'd know, to make sure my Narrator's okay.

For once, I agree with IE's taste.
Cindy, your b-day story reminds me of listening to the radio this morning--the show hosts were commenting on their news guy's rather cranky attitude, and all they said was, "Five words--nine year old's birthday party."
Another request for Buffista opinions on the earrings I'm getting for the almost-14-y.o. niece for Christmas. I've decided to go for quantity instead of quality, as per y'alls suggestion from a few days ago, but I still want ones that don't look like my sister (who's into beading) might have made them. How about these?
The first pair since's she was born in March, the last because I always like getting Xmas earrings for the holidays, and the second because I think they're pretty and something a 14-y.o. might really like.
Mozilla is not nearly so discerning...
And wait a minute, men are battered by nature? How's that again?
Metra is running now. It's been shut down for two hours, though, so seriously backed up. They're saying the shooter is dead, 3 others critical and one shot in the foot.
Kathy, I like the first two. I might get them for my niece (14 yrs old, we have her in the family grab). I'm less sure about the third. How old is your niece, again?

Same deal here, only it was an eight year old's birthday party. Few people around here have parties at home, any more. But although I love avoiding the pre and post-party cleaning, it gets expensive, and it's in a lot of ways more exhausting to watch out for the kids in a public party place. At least in my own house, I know they're not going to get lost or taken.
and picking it apart is just too easy -- nobody with any chops does too many fart jokes, for example, they're cheap. its like working blue, it's crap.
I disagree that blue humor is inherently cheap or something only bad comedians do.
