My Two Cents (03/19)

• Gullible Christians:  Thinking Christian asks, are Christians too gullible?  Do we have a low-level paranoia that makes us susceptible to any scare story that comes around?
• Judas did WHAT?  Linguamish has an interesting discussion of how to translate the word "kiss" for the African cultures that actually don't have a word for it.  Funny.
• Hijab fashion:  Wow.
• Pole, meet truck:  Nice new security pole.  Sturdy.
• Dollar Bill Origami:  Nice.
• Invisible Octopus:  Amazing.
• Ketchup Painting:  Um, yuck.

Wait, you like octopus? Dammit Seeker, I like octopus. Is this something else we have to agree upon? Grumble, grumble. I like them so much in fact, I went and got one.
