Host ,'Conviction (1)'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I thought pagans were the country rubes who hadn't heard the Word of God yet, and so couldn't be blamed for their sin, and heathens were those barbarians who had heard the Word and rejected it in favor of their own gods.
"Godless heathen" is self-contradictory, no? A heathen believes in many gods. Godless is atheist.
If I were a student at that school, I would quit. Loudly.
I had no idea! Huh.

Etymologically, they both pretty much translate into "ignorant hick." Pagus = heath = rural countryside.
[eta: Either way "godless" is redundant, because even if the pagan/heathens did have their own gods, they weren't real gods and therefore didn't count.]

Oh right, I forgot! Silly me.
We've talked about the psychic octopus predicting the outcome of World Cup games:
But here's something I didn't know:
Dubbed the "oracle octopus", Paul beat his rival Mani, Singapore’s psychic parakeet, who incorrectly predicted a win for Holland.
In your face, Singapore’s psychic parakeet!
Hee--Two Lumps has a summer haiku today.
Hey tommyrot, I am skippy girl and was wondering how your injury recovery is going.
You know, I really need a reminder the day of monday morning meetings that only happen once a month. I'm just not going to remember.

I'm much better. My neck still gets all stiff (like when I wake up) but applying heat and doing range of motion exercises tends to loosen things up a lot. Right now I can turn my head all the way from one side to the other in about a second, which is a huge improvement. And my bruises are fading (and I'm regretting not getting a picture of the 6" x 6" bruise on my leg when it was hella-ugly).
And I'm now trying to figure out how to get my bike to the shop for repairs (the handlebar and the post it attaches to are bent, and the steering is completely loose).
