Can you think of any trade secret case that has caught your attention in the past five years or so?

Neither are cases, but I was just reading that e coli article in the Times, and it mentioned that meat producers protect the ingredients in their ground beef as a trade secret. I thought that was very interesting, and it makes me think that if I knew, I would never eat ground beef again.

Also, similarly, Becel refuses to disclose the ingredients of it's spread as a trade secret, which makes my nutritionist friend very suspect of it and it's trans-fat free claims.

Mark 6:3, "And they were offended at him," becomes "The public was not open-minded about Jesus."

Huh. For a verse about Herod's daughter, they actually go back to the Greek word, note that it's usually translated "maiden" or "damsel," and then go ahead and put it as "temptress" anyway, to convey how immoral she was.

Ooh, riffing on what Sue says, don't modern wine makers put additives into the wine to improve the flavor?

Conservapedia guy talks about respectful language. He clearly disapproves of the KJV habit of using "which" rather than "who" when referring to people. And then, he comes out with this:

While they were sitting and eating, Jesus said, "I'm serious: One of you guys is going to betray me."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Wow, I think I've seen four different blogs cover the Conservapedia Bible project....

Jesus said, "I'm serious: One of you guys is going to betray me."

And Judas replied, "Don't look at me, Dude!"

Looks like all the "Verily I say unto you" became "I'm serious."
