  1. I think that the last "revelation" to come out of the RD was "LUO" (to dismantle complely.)

    I think it was from the AC special in about 90-91.

    seem to me like Luo applies to TWI more and more every day!!

  2. OOPS

    Sorry Dr. Bluze, I spoke without fully reading the material.. SIM is much more logical han SSM. I stand reproved and corrected. And what is more, I am honored that you took the time to correct me and to reprove me in front of all of my peers.. It is so wonderful to be part of such a loving household... Amazing SM Blessings upon you!! icon_rolleyes.gif:rolleyes:--> anim-smile.gif

  3. When do we learn to speak Sea Monkey (SSM) there Bluze? Does It come at the end of your class? Should we SSM much or just when we are alone? Will we be able to discern dark monkeys (DDM)? and, if so when? What other powers await me should I return my greencard?

  4. Is that what happens when Sea Monkeys Evolve???

    Damn that Darwin, Damn that John Scopes, Damn that Clarence Darrow, Damn that Inherit the Wind... why couldn't they just leave well enough alone... Now are poor dear Seamonkeys have evolved into "Trunk Monkeys" what's next???

  5. Back in the good ol days when I was an Altar Boy in parochial school, We sent away for some Sea Monkeys.

    Well, after morning mass and a bit of nippin' at the sacrifical wine my buddy Robert and I came up with a great idea of pouring the bag of seamonkeys into the Holy water storage tank in the back of the church. about 3 weeks later little sea monkeys starting coming out when the sacristen refilled the Holy water fonts.

    There is some kind of rule about disposal of Holy water. I guess that It has to be poured out on consecrated ground and the need for a ceremony when you do it. Well, They packed up the whole school into busses one day and took us to the Catholic Cemetary where we stood in the snow while the priest perfomed a 30 minute ceremony and poured the water with millions of seamonkeys onto the ground.

    I remember thinking that it was some sort of Genocide and wondered if they were Holy martyr sea monkeys. anim-smile.gificon_rolleyes.gif:rolleyes:-->

  6. Dot..

    Pilate was the guy with the wife who gave Mary the Cloth and he was the one that wahed his hands.

    dmiller.. That was informative, but as we were all taught Christ didn't really say “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani" icon_eek.gificon_eek.gif

    I remember scratching it out in my Oxford extra large margin Bible that I was advised to buy from the bookstore in NK for a hundred dollars before taking the class

    (I just really needed to say that icon_biggrin.gif:D-->)

  7. Yes Tom, I read it a long time ago. I remember it being a difficult read and having to go back into the book several times to keep on track. But in the end I found it to be worth the effort..

    I just picked up the DaVinci Code this morning over at half price books and will strart it after West Wing is over tonight.

  8. Former Altar Boy here icon_rolleyes.gif:rolleyes:-->

    As to the comments regarding the resurection, I thought that It was masterfully portrayed.

    Insomuch as the Christ was beaten, mauled, scarred, nailed and pierced to the point of his being totally unrecognizable, and knowing that no human annointing of the body could have covered his disfigurement, to see, as the stone rolled back allowing the sunshine to enter the tomb, this perfect figure of a man with what could only be described as a "new body," perfectly made, stand up without so much as a scratch or wrinkle, save the wound on his hand, is testimony to the omnipotence of his Father, and the fulfillment of the Prophecy.

    That last minute, IMO was the most moving of the entire film, and had the most impact on me.

    Didn't care where the comma was. I wasn't even bothered by the presence of St. Veronica (everyone notice the face on the towel?) Didn't care that there were three crosses instead of five. Didn't care that Jesus stumbled three times while carrying the cross before Simon got pulled in to help. Distractions, all of those, to the power of the message that Jesus suffered and died for us.


    You know thinking back I did have flashing memories of Catechism Classes, ie. The story of Veronica (I remembered the face on the cloth but couldn't remember her name,) and playing the stations of the cross in my head as the story progressed.

    I wonder if anyone was humming the "Via De la Rosa" as they passed through town??

    But for me the last 45 seconds had as much (if not more) of an impact on me as rest of the film. Gibson did an excellent job putting this film together.
