[apocalypsos]

Due to my ongoing nausea (punctuated by the fun mini-spew I did this afternoon at work ... ew), I'm home from work a good three hours early. It's just me, a box of pretzel sticks, some Sprite, and the last bits of the PoA computer game to finish. *happy sigh*

EDIT: You know how many times I told someone I threw up today and a few sentences later had to add, "Let me put it this way ... if I'm pregnant, it'll be the first virgin birth in two thousand years"? *sigh*

Yep. Source: Lost Christianities: The Battle for Scripture and the Faiths we Never Knew by Bart Ehrman on NPR.

This was a couple of weeks ago, but as I recall it was the original greek to hebrew or something like that, and they mistranslated it optomistically in the light of a long time fortelling that the savior would come in the form of a virgin birth. Turns out Mary was just indescriminate. Kinda cheapens the whole deal a bit. But think of the possible bumper stickers: "Your messiah was a bastard. Literally."
