Is "unicorn" in the KJV a mistranslation of another word? I hope?

It's debatable, you can make a good case that it means a wild ox as well. Of course, it isn't really an issue unless you are claiming that the whole Bible is literal and infallible. I dunno what the people who think the Bible is literal and infallible and that the KJV is the one true translation do.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I think they have bigger problems than unicorns.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Well, duh. It's literal and infallible, except that we aren't shit-together enough to understand it literally, except for those other parts that are literal, because they're the seventh refinement of the seventh refinement of the reinspired word of G-d, as (re)passed down directly to the English-speaking white dudes who wrote the version we happened to grow up with. In a committee.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

oh, all my problems are solved, mac has announced that when he gets older he will buy the Batmobile and drive me places (specifically to work so it will not take me so long) and also go buy his own toys and will go do grocery shopping (also in the Batmobile, thereby making it fast).

as he explains "I will make the blue stuff and go fast and it will be cool."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Mac does love his Mummy. BTW, what does he call you?

Blackberry ate post, and brain not able to retrieve.

My sister asked for a good idea for a bat mitzvah gift. I told her money, but now she asks how much.

Bearing in mind I don't know what country this is in, nor how close she is to the family. Is it sort of a "thought that counts" thing?

Doctor won't let me leave the ER until I don't weave. If I don't get home and sleep, I'm at risk of undoing his lovely needlework.
