One of the interesting things about the English is that one never knows what interesting bits of eccentricity one will run across. The photograph at the right is actually from one of the BBC sites. It is the lead for a television show called, How To Live A Simple Life. Unfortunately, you cannot watch this […]
The Lord’s Prayer in Klingon
For those of you Trekkies who are interested, see below. Research has turned up this manuscript of the Our Father in Klingon. This could be proof that the universe is larger than we think.
Vaccines and urban legends
Another classic cartoon from Pithless Thoughts. Please look at the cartoon article and then read this blog post by Chaplain Mike. I think you will agree that they go together rather nicely. My email box spam is getting harder and harder to control, though I keep signing off of lists and manufacturer’s websites, etc. Sadly, […]
Young, stupid and probably soon unemployed
Foreign Office apologises for Pope ‘condom’ memo The Foreign Office has apologised for a “foolish” document which suggested the Pope’s UK visit could be marked by the launch of “Benedict-branded” condoms.

The measure of all things
Pithless Thoughts does it again! I have people just like the apocryphal subdeacon in my mission church. They are both cradle and convert.

OK, let’s get it right!
I know that I had said I would finish talking about some pro-life issues today, but life was a little busier yesterday than I expected. So, meantime, enjoy the above cartoon from Pithless Thoughts. Sadly, I have some people in the mission I am building up that have the same attitude as the curmudgeon above. […]
Easter recorded phone call
I am shamelessly porting this over from the pages of the Internetmonk, with their knowledge. I think you will enjoy it. Consider this an update on the Rick Warren post. Back in March of 2005, Michael couldn’t help but share the following comment from the Boar’s Head Tavern. BHT Fellow Judson posted: “I just received […]
Morning people and monks
I admire monks. I admire their dedication, their willingness to sacrifice in order to grow in holiness. I admire that many monks make a commitment to reach out to the poor and to fulfill Christ’s command to take care of the needy. But, I especially admire their capability to get up in the night hours […]
You know you have drunk too much when . . .
