nimrod and the tower of babel-is this history or biblical myth.
god confused their lauguges?.
sounds quite comical when you think about it.
When things got sorted out, God chose one group for his special attention. They all used the same language, which was very convenient when they called someone a "shmuck" everyone knew what was meant. Then he had Abraham sire two sons by two women. Resulting in chaos. Just for the hell of it He required the males to be circumscised, the equivalent of a manufacturer's recall.
Old Nimrod. He grazed like a goat in his insanity but had very good bowel function to an old age.

this follows other odd reports from other sources: that un's sister is in charge, that the capital is locked down and that the number 2 man in north korea is meeting with south korean reunification officials.. .
can we hope that this affront to human decency is now changing?
They have tested them. They have long range missiles that can reach Japan. Nukes?

Thanks for the heads up. Sounds hopeful. The little fat maniac was a loose canon with ICBMs. Now, I'll keep an eye out for developments.
i was at my friend's volleyball game when i looked down at my clock on my cell phone and realized its been 100 years since jesus starting ruling from the heavens and satan was casted down to earth.
wasnt it october 1st 1914 when jesus decided to kick satan out of the heavens?.
.
Bringing up awkward things like 1914, etc. is really rude.
We need to look to the future. Like the new headquarters and all the new light we have to look forward to for years, even decades, to come.

his conclusion, .
"even when they are not rooted out by states, terrorist groups carry the seeds of their own destruction.
I think there are a couple of posters here who can contort their reasoning to accept the beheading of a volunteer aid worker as a reasonable act if it was committed in the name of allah.
i have seen that some say if a man has 3 beers per day or a woman has 2 glasses of wine per day, that they may have .

sir82, thank you for clarifying my post. I referred to a drink of liqour as 80% alcohol. I meant 'proof'. Of course that is 40% alcohol. Thamk yoo for the clarafuckashun.

Interesting that this has come up. Thank you Minimus for a topic for a change instead of being the JWN wall flower.
This past spring, I had some medical concerns that took me through about 5 weeks of tests and visited with various doctors through the Providence Health facility nearby.
One question that I kept being asked routinely was "How many drinks per day do you consume?" The list was always the same - Beer___? Wine___?
Liqour____?
I always answered honestly. I drink liqour more than wine and seldom drink beer.
Then towards the end of the five weeks of running up medical bills (and coming to no conclusions, but that's another story) I asked the doctor, "I know a beer is about 12 oz of 5% alchohol. Wine is about 11% for a 5 oz. glass. But how much is what you call a "drink" of liqour? She looked at her own questionaire and said, "that's a good question, let me check" she took a few seconds on the computor and said "one drink of 80% liqour is considered to be 1.5 oz." Nonsense. A drink is a 1 oz. shot. Recognized everywhere. Many bars have automatic liqour dispensers that measure one ounce. If you go into a pub in the UK you see the liqour bottles all upside down on top of measuring nozzles. All one ounce.
So all this time I have told them how many drinks I consume per day they have calculated it at 1.5 instead of 1.0.
The whole subject of drinking and health effects is a muddle of opinions, prejudices and hunches.
like most people reading this, i was convinced that by 2014 the new system would 'definitely' have been operating for at least a decade.
now that i know this is not going to be the case i am going to have to think of some way to recognise 100 years of wts let downs and failed predictions.
there is no point fretting over the past so i think it will be a good time to celebrate.
Wait ! isn't tonight when the Hale-Bopp comet comes to collect us?
I've got to get my tennis shoes and black PJ's on.

Having a toast to my baby sister, Berengaria, who is having a b-day today.
my wife and i teamed up and had 5 children between 1966 and 1978 (she did the hard part) we never knew the sex until the the little sweety was born.. now days, we know if we're having another grandson or grandaughter months before they're born.. big difference.. names = male or female?
better have one or the other ready for the birth cert.
info.. clothes are not that critical.
Yes, we have seen the state of the art pics. They are amazing. Our Grandaughter's daughter is due in early January. Girl name suggestions are flying from all the aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.
Great grandaughter #5 is on her way.
