Come to think of it “Faculty Toilet” would be a great name for a blog, don’t you think?

Radio Free Babylon has an ongoing strip called “Coffee with Jesus” and he is surprisingly “Jesus-like” IMHO.1 Quite funny if you can avoid being easily offended. Here are two that made me smile.

 
  1. I have never come across “Radio Free Babylon” either, so I offer no valuation of its quality, worth, heresy, orthodoxy, or ability to make My Little Pony seem like a cynical drug-addled view of the world.

(But proof that I am “stupid” is that I just had major dental work done less than 24 hours before flying to San Fran for SBL. Let’s hear it for Tylenol #3!)

My life has been busy so I have had little time to read blogs let alone write my own posts. This morning I decided to catch up on a few and noted Bob’s very amusing snippet of testimony from the Golum Golb trial. In it he stated, “we’re all still pretty much nerds writing about the Dead Sea Scrolls.” True, true.

But then it hit me! He was using capital letters! Not just in that post but in all on the first page. And the second. Now some of the post titles are misleadingly in his past t s elliot mode, but it seems that for quite some time now he has rediscovered the shift key on his keyboard. I am pleased and yet concerned. Please remember our friend in this time of need.
