A student asked for books on biblical texts, and explained he was having an argument with a friend who insisted that the King James Bible was the only religiously correct version in English of the bible, and the proof of this was it was not in copyright.
??!?!!?

Fascinatingly, it IS under copyright, in the UK at least, until 2039 - only certain publishers can print it. See the start of this entry: [link]

Ooh, does this mean all public domain books are fair game for being religious source texts? I'm gonna form a religion based on the works of Jane Austen - who's with me?

I thought it was already a religion!

A friend's mother apparently recently suggested to her that she "get one of those Haiti babies."
Is her mother's name Edina?

Don't ever leave me.
I have reserved a rental car for the weekend. The dealer's service desk said he called around town and that there were no parts to be had--but we have priority on the ones they get from GM. He said aftermarket parts weren't an option for this particular part so we wait.
He didn't have a loaner available but offered to rent me a vehicle for twice what I could rent one through AAA. @@
I didn't realize how much running around I do until I didn't have wheels.
