1 Kings is problematic, with blah, son of blah, son of blah, etc.

I believe they cut that "n begat n+1" out of the Readers Digest Condensed Bible (which was actually a thing, published in the late 70s).

And that Paul chap is a real logic chopper, I'll be bound.

If Paul isn't the patron saint of the kind of really evil, slimy lawyers they have in American TV programmes, he ought to be

Much prefer the Gospels to a lot of the rest of it.

Easier to read.

More of a story.

Less of the blah son of blah son of blah style of things.

Revelation is always good.

It's worth getting hold of the album 666 by Aphrodite's Child, which is a musical interpretation of it. Not so much prog rock as apocalyptic rock, including the not-yet-famous talents of Demis Roussos and Papathanassiou Vangelis. Awesome, mind-blowing stuff

Of course there's always the joys of Leviticus, all about shagging your neighbour's ass & all that.

I suppose one of those Pauline lawyers could drag a case out quite a bit with a debate about whether a tractor is equivalent to an ass in terms of Levitican prohibitions, given a case of literal autoeroticism

In other news, I've done some painting, and some rollering on of fungicide.

Who knows, I might have a useable kitchen by the end of next week.

Then I can go back to "work".

I wonder if there's a religion that prohibits the killing of fungi? Whenever I'm forced to kill a fly or other lowly lifeform, William Blake's line "Everything that lives is holy" runs through my mind

Luckily, that never happens when I'm eating pork chops or a nice steak

Morning all. Feels early but I know I won't sleep on the train.

It being many years since I read anything of the Goode Booke, I'm finding that reading chapters of said tome to ZP & ZM proves problematic at times.

I'm sure the copy of the Authorised Version belonging to ZP has funny spellings of names in it.

They seem much harder to say than they used to be.

Maybe I'm out of practise or getting old or sommat.

I only skimmed TGB(tm) and found it a bit preachy so have up, will wait for the film to come out

Morning, kids still sound asleep

Morning

[eek]

Slid on something walking down the stairs last night and rather grazed my arms.

Ouch is going to be my word of the day

Oh, there's some good stuff in there.

Superheroes, villains, amazing magical powers.

I recommend a kids version though - much simpler language, and pictures too.

Try the one about the bloke whose long hair gives him super strength - his missus cons him into having a haircut. Then they poke his eyes out and imprison him, but his hair grows again, his super powers return and he pulls down the temple and they all die.

Yes. I'd bet it's particularly difficult to off a pig if you've raised it yourself.

It was bad enough putting poor old ZM down & I didn't intend to eat her.

ZeitGrandFather couldn't off the chicken for lunch.

ZeitGrandMother had no such problem.
