Oh dear. There was a history-teacher smackdown after our Black History month assembly today. NOT pretty. The presenting teacher was talking about MLK Jr. and Malcolm X and was talking about how X is so often left out of history books because of his controversial stances, etc., and history teacher #2 freaked out at the implication that X is just as important as MLK and...wow. DRAMA.

Natter 56: ...we need the writers.

Punishingly Intricate
So, not hiring game testers?
I don't know, maybe. I think the company that bought them is planning to keep them going with the same staff. I don't think they really make the kind of game that Mac would be interested in playing all day though.

did I mention here how I overheard someone at work saying that Maya Anjelou (sp?) was like a female Malcolm X? I was all WHA?@?@?@? but on the inside.

Our wings are not tired.
Maybe they were confused and were thinking of the great poet Malcolm X? (idiots)

African-Americans whose names begin with M, maybe? Those M's all look alike.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The Bible as Graphic Novel, With a Samurai Stranger Called Christ
Ajinbayo Akinsiku wants the world to know Jesus Christ, just not the gentle, blue-eyed Christ of old Hollywood movies and illustrated Bibles.
A page from the Manga Bible by Ajinbayo Akinsiku. “For the unchurched, the book is to show that this thing, the Bible, is still relevant,” Mr. Akinsiku said.
Mr. Akinsiku says his Son of God is “a samurai stranger who’s come to town, in silhouette,” here to shake things up in a new, much-abridged version of the Bible rooted in manga, the Japanese form of graphic novels.
“We present things in a very brazen way,” said Mr. Akinsiku, who hopes to become an Anglican priest and who is the author of “The Manga Bible: From Genesis to Revelation.” “Christ is a hard guy, seeking revolution and revolt, a tough guy.”
