  • Python to save your soul

    In a previous post, I showed you how Python can let you print important things over and over again. Here I’m posting a video that just might save your soul with the code for the quiz at the bottom of the post: from random import randint import sys questions = {1 : [“Joel is a…

  • Reason #1 learning some programming can be helpful …

    You can print important things over and over again. Thinking this might come in handy with some of my Twitter conversations at some point.

  • Buying Joel’s Book = Sacrifice to Goat Demons: A Pesher for Today

    I was annotating Leviticus today, and the meaning of 17:7 was readily apparent. Once you understand that Joel in his multiple personalities = the goat demons, you are on your way to understanding the text: So they (people who have recently bought a book on mimetic criticism and the Gospel of Mark) shall no more…

  • Even my autocorrect knows GrEEK is lame

    Some might say that there is no one language that is any better than any other. I think this would be to deny to the clear evidence of Hebrew’s superiority to GrEEK.  Just think about it: if Hebrew wasn’t better than GrEEK, then why was so much of the Bible written in Hebrew and GrEEK…

  • Then the Lord was all like, “Come no closer!”

    I posted this thought on Facebook this weekend – that it was fun to think about translating vayomer as “and he was like” or “and he was all like” (for those he don’t know much Hebrew, this form is often translated “and he said” or something similar).  That popped in my head after a recent visit to…

  • The Real December Biblioblog Rankings

    Well, it’s been a crazy year in the history of biblioblogging.  We watched Jim West die and ascend into heaven only to return.  This allowed Joel Watts to be the number one biblioblogger … for a little while. We witnessed a number of attacks on the Biblioblog top 50. And, now we’ve witnessed the attempted…

  • The 700 Watts Club

    That’s the first thing that came to mind when I saw all this hullabaloo.  C’mon guys … really … it’s Christmas.  Joel, you take a break.  And, Scott and Jim, you leave Joel alone.  Gosh, I didn’t realize when I took on the rankings I’d also have to babysit you three.  Everybody’s in time out…
