Thursday is Thor’s Day, a day to share one’s lightening links with the world.

The Peace of Christ and the Soteriology of the State Latest in Tom’s series on Christianity, Politics, and Violence. I highly recommend reading through this series as it is released.

How to Fix Your Own Character Flaws - Important basic instructions because I have so many!

This summer I took an intensive Latin course. We basically worked
through all of Whelocks in three months. To keep up on our Latin, some
of us have been meeting with one of the professors every other week and
been translating a chapter of The Millionaire’s Dinner Party, an adaption of the Cena Trimalchionis by Petronius.

Basically, the work is a satire of Roman society and the emperor Claudius.
We are currently working through chapter six, where Trimalchio, the
crazy rich former slave that has no idea what is going on, is
explaining where Corinthian Bronze comes from:

cum Ilium captum esset, Hannibal, homo vafer et magnus
stelio, omnes statuas aeneas et aureas et argenteas in unum rogum
congessit et eas incendit.

In modern English it reads as follows:

When Troy was captured, Hannibal, a cunning fellow and a
slippery rouge, heaped all the statues of copper, gold, and silver into
a pyre and burned them.

Good ole Trimalchio goes on to tell his dinner guests that he knows
a man named Corinth that knew where this pile of burned statues was
hidden and was selling it as Corinthian Bronze.

Nevermind that Hannibal invaded Rome, not Greece and not to mention that Corinth is a town instead of a person.

Git, Dog; Git!

A&E pulls “Dog the Bounty Hunter” off of the air. Yup, if someone records you being a blatant racist, your show might just get pulled, Brah.

Then again, you would have thought A&E would have seen this coming:

Seriously, this guy is a racist? Never would have guessed that in a million years.

NBA Quote of the Day

Henry Imler November 5th, 2007

The Celtics break the records for “most amount of
time the bench guys stood up clapping and cheering during an 82-game
season” and “most times the other four guys immediately ran over to
pick up a teammate who got knocked down.”
