I end up drawing mustaches on business portraits. That helps.

Unfortunately, I'm sure some of the target audience for that ad would be happy to kill you...

Actually - in my limited experience, gun owners are some of the most relaxed people imaginable. It's all the catharsis on the range, I'm sure.

well if you like putting puzzles together... ;)

On my (poorly read) blog, I reviewed a Project Management Tool that I've fallen in love with. Since it didn't update here automatically - I'll be completely shameless. #projectmanagement#GTD#graphicdesign

Thank all that is holy that the new Chrome Dev release is out. I was so tired of the half-done throbber icon. Plus: EXTENSIONS!!!!!

Denise - I believe this stuff. Not because I've never looked at it, but because the more I investigate it, hte more truth in it I see.

I'll make time. I don't expect this to be a one-day adventure. Congrats on the kiddo. Kids are a blast.
- Jeremy
Good, cos we're starting well into the Old Testament, particularly if we're starting in Job. *small smile* I've got the baby to make happy, but it won't take me long.
- ProsePetals (aka Denise)
Oh lol...Jeremy old English words such as those are actually meaningless when reviewed upon their proper definitions, but just by those, you're forcing me to take a bit more time than I ordinarily would. :)
- ProsePetals (aka Denise)
Both are transliterations from Hebrew, not old english.
- Jeremy
Okay, then...(I'm still hand-bound at the moment). If your knowledge and translation skills are good enough, before I'm free to dig in of course, then do the Hebrew, to Latin, to Olde-Middle-Modern (yes, King James) version of the translations for all of us....because that is a big part of my own translational argument. I'm sure, since you took this on, that you're well-versed enough,...

actually - it might be better to do the Heb > LXX > English, as I actually know the Greek. Hebrew looms before me.

Job 40: 15-24 This is the section comparing the "Power of Job with that of the biblical power of that of the 'Hippopotomus" (aka, the only verse in Job that equates a "dinosaur" to which you are referring)... The verses independently: "Take a look at the mighty hippopotomus. I made it, just as I made you. It eats grass like an ox. See its powerful loins and the muscles of its belly. Its...

- ProsePetals (aka Denise)
Okay, translate *that* from the Greek...to explain in English, the ONLY known verses in the Old Testament related to dinosaurs...(never mind that "we" are not supposed to follow the "laws" of the OT in the first place)
- ProsePetals (aka Denise)
"1) perhaps an extinct dinosaur 1a) a Diplodocus or Brachiosaurus, exact meaning unknown ++++ Some translate as elephant or hippopotamus but from the description in Job 40:15-24, this is patently absurd. [ -- Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew Lexicon ]
- Jeremy
Jeremy, we haven't even begun ...and already you're justifying. I've been pulling straight from the bible, which is the RULE of your game.
- ProsePetals (aka Denise)
Job may or may not have been under Levitical law and the law has no bearing on the current conversation. This was only a comment on whether dinosaurs were in the bible ... the answer is definitely maybe.
- Jeremy
My point has to do with biblical premise...and the unveiling thereof. You're already negating that, by not supporting that very premise.
- ProsePetals (aka Denise)
Here - why don't you try and give me your argument. I made an argument that the bible referenced dinosaurs. I gave references. You didn't understand what I was saying.
- Jeremy
I'm not giving YOU arguments, Jeremy. Go back to the original premise (In Chris' thread), which YOU brought here. It was OT argument, based in Job, which I have already answered for. The only "dinosaur" referenced in Job is the hippopotomus. Beyond that, there are none, unless you have the magic "satan confusing mankind" reference to which my uncle continues to refer.
- ProsePetals (aka Denise)
I understood you clearly, dude...I grew up on this nonsense. Job book 40 passages 15-24 is precisely what I quoted.
- ProsePetals (aka Denise)
The description is not of a hippopotamus. Clearly. Read it again. The word doesn't mean hippo. That's an addition by a translator. Also - the next chapter references another animal of large proportions that would fit a general description of an dinosaur (with some poetic elements).
- Jeremy
Jeremy...you're awfully keen on this. Which dinosaur? There are/were MANY.
- ProsePetals (aka Denise)
The only presently "living" dinosaur in our modern existence is a derivative of the modern alligator/crocodile...though the shark (multi-species) can also be argued therein...
- ProsePetals (aka Denise)
Well, a grass-eating, marsh dwelling behemoth with a tail like a cedar sounds like a sauropod to me. Again - it's not like they drew a picture, but hippo it ain't. Here's my rebuttal question - why would it be far-fetched that a human would/could describe a dinosaur? (and why not plesiosaur for Job 41?)
- Jeremy
Denise, look, I'd love to do this but it's like talking to a teenager. You seem unable to articulate a coherent argument. You throw stones and laugh ... but you're not actually arguing. Why don't you go and collect your thoughts and try to come up with something that resembles communication.
- Jeremy
I'll be here and I'll answer when you're ready to learn something.
- Jeremy
I'm actually not throwing any stones at all. I've already articulated straight out of the bible, Jeremy. I've already gathered plenty of thoughts for you to refute, and you've yet to do so...so why should I bother digging deeper? I gave you links to where I played THAT game already...and you're avoiding them like the bubonic plague....Jeremy, where is your defense?
- ProsePetals (aka Denise)
Sigh. Defense to what? Make one JUST ONE argument. Say that the earth is a gazillion years old or something! You didn't articulate anything. You mistranslated something - and then vomited about elephants or something but made no attempt at coherent statements. I'm not running - I want you to try something. I filed your previous arguments away, but that's not this argument. You lauded yourself as some dialectic colossus... where's the beef?
- Jeremy
If you want me to research all your previous work and argue them here, I will, but that will require the research time. I, obviously, don't understand why it is that you cannot make an argument without referring someone to your DA account... unless you did not actually make the arguments yourself. However, if we are referring to other links as opposed to actually having a discussion, please see this: http://reformedgoadkicker.blogspot.com/2009...
- Jeremy
Oh please, Jeremy, you're looking for an easy way out. Typical. I gave you THIRTY FOUR pages of bullshit to review all by yourself outside of ff. Do not try to play like you're getting a free pass.
- ProsePetals (aka Denise)
Jeremy, my apologies the foundation must be solid, and this wasn't from the very beginning. I'm at fault for not making it better...instead I got annoyed, and reacted as such.
