Emails!

Once again I find myself battling a mighty queue of unanswered mail - nearly a hundred msgs need my attention. Apologies, folks, I'm on it.

Music Videos Brainstorm

Name some great music videos! alryssa mentioned Sledgehammer and Take On Me. Kudos to Let Forever Be, Devil Gate Drive (with the pulsing CSO background), Judas Sheep and Talking to a Stranger, Sex as a Weapon, Rock Me Tonite, Blue Jean ("Demis Roussos?! On your bike, son."), Fall of Rome, Wouldn't It Be Good... ooh, I could sit here all day. So many great clips that stand out from the background of rubbish.

Natural History

Today's phylum are the PRIAPULIDA. You will be shocked to learn they are marine worms. They look a bit rude, hence their name, the derivation of which is left as an exercise for the reader. They live in sand or mud at the bottom of the ocean and catch things with their spiny mouths.

Not again! Frankus, get away from that off-switch!

(no subject)

The church up the road has a new sign which says, "Our bottom line: the Bible says it, God says it," or words to that effect. My question is, what was the historical point at which part or all of the Bible was declared to be a direct communication from God himself? There are bits of the Torah which state they're God's commands, eg Leviticus, but other bits look more like human record-keeping which was later attributed to the Deity.

DIY Sheep, where are you?
