So what was all the fussing about? In a nutshell, a piglet and a hedgehog try to find out where God lives and go to the Temple Mount and try to visit a synagogue, a church and a mosque. The piglet and the hedgehog are rudely turned from each doorstep with reference to their non-affiliation with the respective religion. The rabbi, the bishop and the mufti sending the two animals away are portrayed with unpleasant features in the text as well as in the illustrations. In the end, those three representatives of the three Abrahamite religions get into a violent fight; the accompanying illustration shows the rabbi trying to suffocate the bishop with a Torah scroll while the bishop is hitting the mufti in the head with a Bible while the mufti is apparently trying to break the rabbi’s ankle. In the meantime, the intimated piglet and the hedgehog are sneaking off.

Kat, what a wonderful set of photos! They are so cute together!
And Cash, that's just... too creepy to contemplate. ick.
Skipping in order to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Laura & her DH's anniversary.
Happy day to the both of them! With lots of wishes for a wonderful year together.
[Edit: I skipped just to the right post to know that there are pictures I should look for upthread. Which I'm going to do exactly now. Thanks, Burrell!]
Happy Anniversary, Laura + DH!
Cashmere, ugh. That's so creepy. Ew.
Does anyone have a clear understanding of the difference between annealing and tempering?
My understanding of annealing is based purely on the neural-network technique of virtual annealing, which isn't much help here.
Bonus trivia question - who knows what the next, further evolved species of humans will be called, according to David Bowie?
I didn't see anyone answer this. Was it "homo superior"?
Does anyone have a clear understanding of the difference between annealing and tempering?
yep. (I trained as a jeweler in highschool)
annealing = heating in order to make more malleable for shaping
tempering = hardening through heat (for alloys)
Oh good. Thank you! That's a much clearer explanation than I can find anywhere else. You wouldn't care to summarize the difference properties caused by different kinds of molecular bonds, would you?

bwah!
... please hold for DH... (who will die laughing and then help you)
eta - I paid attention to the former because... well - shiny! and you can wear it when you're done playing with fire!
the latter fell out of my cache to make room for something else, along with Algebra.
