From today's SMH: "Sex change for five Saudi sisters". Well, it probably *would* be.

Last week someone was "gunned down in their sleep". A listener complained that Radio National had described someone making a "360 degree about-face". And the paper said "Elderly woman critical after hit-and-run"; you can hardly blame her.

And now, the next exciting episode!

- Is "venison" right? Were there deer about? The RSV has "game" instead.

- I decline to embarrass myself by mentioning the TNG episode Brothers, where I first encountered this story.

- Nasty bit of blasphemy in verse 20. Naughty Jacob.

- Is Rebekah's motive in this bit of Lady Macbeth connivance because of Esau's taking non-Hebrew wives? At the end of the chapter she laments the possibility of Jacob doing the same.

Just got hold of a six-minute version of this old favourite by the original Underworld - lyrics here. As a younger woman I got the meaning of living "underneath the radar" as living during the Cold War, but missed the other and quite obvious meaning - of being so small and unimportant to The Powers That Be that you don't count.

I still have no idea what "I’m gonna w-o-o-o-o-o ya all" - pronounced "double you oh oh oh oh oh" - means, though.

I keep encountering ikons with illegible text - typically Buffy ones, with song lyrics in such small print you can't make out the words. Is this a deliberate stylistic choice?
