Malthus

Is this the start of Slargos's career as budding Talmudic scholar?

Will we see him in Yeshiva class in the near future?

Stay tuned!  :hmm:

Sure, sure. Justify your fatal attraction that way.

When you immigrate to Mea Sherim to have six little Orthodox children with a heeby beauty and spend your days studying Torah, you will no doubt claim to be in "deep cover".  ;)

No, because Yeshivot require you to think.  As the Slargbilly has shown, he just wants to be a passive consumer of information.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

Bayraktar!

I don't think it matters much. You always seem to draw your conclusions independently of any reason, argument or fact.

I was hoping you'd be capable of using google if you were lacking in sense.

"If" ???

The Minsky Moment

I'm using "bronze age" to mean something else than it really means. Duh.  :rolleyes:

I should know better than to respond further but this really bugs me.  The Abrahamic religions arose quite deep in the Iron Age, and that is fact of relevance to understanding not just the history of religion, but ancient history generally.  Talking about the Bronze Age in this context is like talking about Napoleon's impact on the Italian Rennaissance.

So you mean that it's also not true that if a Jew touches Iron, he melts away and has to sleep in a coffin until the next full moon in order to rebuild his corporeal body?

Ok. Fine. Replace "Bronze Age" with "Iron Age". Ok?

My notions of Bronze Age and Iron Age may have been influenced by Sid Meier's Civilization.  :blush:

The troll gets his meal, and all we get are archaeology lessons from Martinus.

Bad deal for us.

I got a few zings in, so I'm happy.  What I like about Marty is that he will make the same mistake several times even after being corrected.  I don't have to think up new jokes every time he says something dumb.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Would a penis by any other name still taste as sweet? :unsure:
