As is often the case, I'm posting something appropriate for the HoW, but probably not directly related to the immediate topic(s). I've only just skimmed posts for the last week or so. I'm in HoW because it is a sometimes interesting but quite often mature discussion. Some questions I simply find to be moot. Also, I've been without Internet for almost a week, and just finished 8 days straight of being a farm hand - this is aftter 15+ years of mostly desk-job work. I am beat, but I have the next two days off, and then do 5 and 2. This is, for me, actually a religious experience. I won't try to explain that other than to say that sometimes religion is a personal thing. Maybe this page will offer more insight. Somebody (I think ephorex) posted a question about the Talmud. I am not Jewish, and have no answer. But, so far, we haven't seen an answer. Are there no Jewish people in HoW? There are a lot of religions that aren't represented here or, at best, minor voices in the crowds. I am not sure how many voices we've heard from, major or minor, but I think it is fair to say that most voices have belief and faith. So I have a simple question to all: Are your current beliefs and faith something you were born into and learned in detail as you matured, or have they evolved or changed into what they are now. Mine have evolved. (Well, they still are evolving.) I've already mentioned that I started out RC and am now a simple deist.

As funny as paint by elephant?

Yeah! I finally caught up here... a lot of great shots to look at, and I'll have to go back for another run through. And I'm glad the misunderstanding in your leaving thread was just that. If you still have to leave ST, it will be a shame, but I keep hoping the title is soon changed to, "We just can't get rid of this guy". Especially with a CJ like this!

A: Got a job at the Kwiki-Mart. Q: If you can't take it with you, where can you leave it?

-
^ yes, back in the 80's < is going to be a farm hand for a while V has never even stepped foot on a farm
-
Again, I keep missing chances and then when I finally get someone, I can't prove it. I say nobody who joined ST after me is next.

A: The Omnibus has a wonderful tutorial on that and many other subjects. Q: If the Dodo bird did not become extinct and proliferated instead, what would the name of the fast food chain specializing in this foul food source be?

Sure he does. That's just the test. The answers are turned in on a punch card. Ah, yes... the hanging chads. p.s. I was on my way out and saw the notifier showing a post. "Hmm", I thought, "something interesting or just a game?" Ah... Picture war! An interesting game!

Sticking with my cartoon theme... You call that a bone?

Again, I jumpt slightly out of the immediate topic to paraphrase my recent post in What Music are you listening to: I just finished watching Koyaanisqatsi. Trust me, it is 100% on topic. True there and true here. I don't follow the Bible commonly mentioned in this thread, regardless of the translation. But if I can be said to have a "bible", this film is part of it. Koyaanisqatsi is derived from the non-literate Hopi language and means life out of balance or life disintegrating. These definitions are open to interpretation, and I would guess something comes to mind for you. Even if you watch the film, you may not share the same interpretation as me or anyone else. Godfrey Reggio, the producer and director, said that if you need to figure out why you are watching this film, you are not getting into it. It is a journey. The film is all visuals from Ron Fricke and music from Philip Glass. There is not a single actor or spoken word of dialog. There is no plot or story or any other major element that people think of when they hear "movie." But, IMHO, it speaks volumes. It is part of a tirlogy. I own Powaqqatsi too, but have yet to see Naqoyqatsi. I only bring this up to give anyone here who is interested a little insight into my religion. At first glance, the film may seem like a non-religious work from a very religious man. But the interpretation of the film is what defines if it really is or is not a religious work to the person doing the interpreting. If you are curious about these films, you can find out more at The Qatsi Trilogy. I cannot do this film(s) justice by attempting more of an explanation. The web site says it best: Koyaanisqatsi is, after all, an animated object, an object in moving time, the meaning of which is up to the viewer. p.s. Welcome to page 42 - the ultimate answer.
