Talk politics.

I daresay that if the Bible started using Latin in the Book of Psalms, people would notice.......

From:

Uh , I don't know. many ppl think that it was written in Elizabethan English. I mean , that is the ~Authorised~ Version of it is.
"Never mind all that Greek and Hebrew stuff, son - if the KJV differs from the original manuscripts, the KJV has got it right, boy. Them textual criticism guys just get it wrong - they can't even spell "Authorized" properly !"

From:

That was a reference to the elements having names that end in -um, which is a Latin ending......

From:

Oh , yeah , I know that the um construction is Latin.
I also know that the word 'Paradise derives from the Persian.
And Lucifer is a latin name that i would not expect any hebrew speaking archangel or cherub to have either, come to think of it.

You do have a valid point, but I wish to point out that if latin names had appeared in the OT, most KJV/NIV readers, even those in Britain , just would not see any problems arising here. as far as they were concerned, it was written in English , and Jesus also spoke in red.

From:

Of course scholars might be more than a little convinced by the Bible having a psalm that directly names elements like plutonium that were synthetically made..........

KJV? What are you talking about. There are people who think the bible was written in the New Word Revised Standard Edition, with the words of Jesus printed in red.

You left out Mel Brooks, comic genius.

Even so, I will let you give us one of his songs and let the audience see if they like it.

The fridge scene reminds me of this.

Also, this appears to be a serious question: Can you survive a nuclear explosion in a fridge? (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080601142544AAs9yvk)

From:

It would depend on the distance.
back in the day s when we had Thatcher running the country, we had someone trying to kid us that we could ' protect and survive' - go take the interior doors off in your home and build yr own bomb shelter with 'em.

no, in fact, a scientist backk then pointed out that the heat would cook anyone inside a lead lined basement bomb shelter, if the bomb went off too close. And i think that the bomb in the film was way too close, to be honest. Great film , though!

Nothing survives in my fridge!!!

The Word go God by Kathy Mar...

http://www.audiopuzzle.com/discovery/kathy-mar/my-favorite-sings/the-word-of-god/#overview

Lyrics...
"From desert cliff and mountaintop we trace the wide design,
Strike-slip fault and overthrust and syn and anticline. . .
We gaze upon creation where erosion makes it known,
And count the countless aeons in the banding of the stone.
Odd, long-vanished creatures and their tracks & shells are found;
Where truth has left its sketches on the slate below the ground.
The patient stone can speak, if we but listen when it talks.
Humans wrote the Bible; God wrote the rocks.

There are those who name the stars, who watch the sky by night,
Seeking out the darkest place, to better see the light.
Long ago, when torture broke the remnant of his will,
Galileo recanted, but the Earth is moving still.
High above the mountaintops, where only distance bars,
The truth has left its footprints in the dust between the stars.
We may watch and study or may shudder and deny,
Humans wrote the Bible; God wrote the sky.

By stem and root and branch we trace, by feather, fang and fur,
How the living things that are descend from things that were.
The moss, the kelp, the zebrafish, the very mice and flies,
These tiny, humble, wordless things---how shall they tell us lies?
We are kin to beasts; no other answer can we bring.
The truth has left its fingerprints on every living thing.
Remember, should you have to choose between them in the strife,
Humans wrote the Bible; God wrote life.

And we who listen to the stars, or walk the dusty grade,
Or break the very atoms down to see how they are made,
Or study cells, or living things, seek truth with open hand.
The profoundest act of worship is to try to understand.
Deep in flower and in flesh, in star and soil and seed,
The truth has left its living word for anyone to read.
So turn and look where best you think the story is unfurled.
Humans wrote the Bible; God wrote the world."

I was thinking of humour, but that song is in a more serious mood and sends quite a powerful message. Thank you for sharing it here.

From:

Dunno about musical parodies but I still remember resistor colour codes by the rather un-PC nmonic Bl*ck B*****ds Rape Only Young Girls But Virgins Go Without, hell that wasn't in the best of taste back in the mid 80's when I was taught it, but it did stick in as opposed to the other which I know of, yet cannot for the life of me even begin.

I learned it as...

"Bad Boys Rape Our Young Girls But Virgins Go Without"

It was even my mother than taught me that (my family owned a small electronics assembly business specializing in small run PC Board assembly by hand)

No wait, the last part was a little different too, it went

Black, Brown , Red orange yellow green violet ? grey? White... or something ?

I like the one that goes Many Volcanoes Erupt mullberry Jam Sandwiches Under Normal Pressure - if you think of it as being about 30 yrs old, I bet you can guess what it helps you to remember...
