Interestingly enough, when Eelohim is used to refer to the Hebrew God in the bible, it takes singular verbs, while it take plural when referring to the gods of the nations surrounding them.

One of the short o es like al Bayyina?

"Indeed, they who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the polytheists will be in the fire of Hell, abiding eternally therein. Those are the worst of creatures." (QS. Al-Bayyina: Verse 6)

I am not for outright banning of books, but I am against mandatory reading of certain books for classes. There are some pretty sexually graphic scenes in a number of books not marketed as erotic that I believe have no place in the standard classroom or the elementary school library. A certian section at a public library, sure, but schools, no. It is like those backrooms at blockbuster.

There are nice bug nets made specifically to fit around hammocks. You see the sky and not be eaten alive.

I cannot read. When I first looked at this, I read, "I judge a woman by her cover" and was very confused.

They are very popular and actually have quick service once you finally get through the long line. Most of the ones around where I lived switched to two lanes. They were rated as having g the highest quality service for any fast food chain as well.

I think that is is important to note that there is very little real evidence for Christmas being taken from saturnalia. You can google christmas and saturnalia and come up with plenty of web articles, but looking at the actual history of it makes it pretty clear. Christmas takes place around the same time of saturnalia, sure, but that does not make it a Christian stab at replacing it. Saturnalia was traditionally observed between the 17th and 23rd of December, not the 25th. It was a 5-7 day festival, not a one day festival. Additionally, the church is said to have gotten the 25th by taking the day John's father was told he would have a son (shortly after the day of attonement), the new testiment statement that Elizabeth was 6 months pregnant when Jesus was conceived, and adding 40 weeks to the end for the average pregnancy. This would put Jesus born in late December. This general time line was documented as being calculated as early as CE 200s.

I did not pay attention and thought it was in USD already. Inwas shocked someone would pay nearly $40 a month.

Semi unrelated, but I had no idea that we started using only one strike through the dollar sign more frequently as of recent. I have always written it with 2 and am shook.

Yeah. Someone else pointed out that I misread 个 as 不。 my darn dyslexia had me confidently reading the charecter and adding a whole stroke.

The text is referencing the toilet, so at least there could be something connected there.

这不马桶- this is not a toilet. 干了什么- what did you do.

My translation with mostly forgotten mandarin schooling. Maybe it will help to show that the picks are connected.

这不马桶。-this is not a toilet. 干了什么- what did you do?

By swords are they alludinh to the hellish underwire that breaks free and stabs you constantly?
