Unfortunately I don't have that excuse. However I was on my first cup of coffee of the day and still a bit bleary eyed. :oops:

Was it Irish? ;)

No, but I was.. :hehe:

This is going to be tough. I have already noticed in Genesis that the light and dark were created before the sun.

I foresee a lot of smiting of my head and renting of my garments!

Look, guys - the noun is "decision", so of course the verb is "decise". If you make an incision, you're not "inciding" - though of course you're going INCIDE.

Well, yes, that makes sense. Also, if the verb in its past tense form stemming from 'revision' is 'revised', what should you expect the equivalent for 'decision' to be?

I have the New Testicle at work, I picked it up somewhere. It is the King James one. I sometimes read it on the toilet. But the paper is no good for wiping. ANyway, I started reading Revelation. I'm confused. Who is this writer who is hallucinating, and why?

It is the Gideons King James version.

Revelations is a political/religious diatribe aimed at the contemporary audience. We will never "get" all the jokes and jabs.

Yer mad. I tried read the OT last year and I only finished the first two chapters. It's complete shite.
