I remember hearing that story in one of my Anthropology classes. Things like that make me wonder how badly we misunderstand the stories and muths of other cultures, ourselves. 🙂

That title was so misleading. And now I'm due back at Pervert House.

Anything that takes longer than 2 minutes to read, and understand, shouldn't be a "Fun Link".

Worst. Fun link. Ever.

I disagree, CBG! I thought that was fascinating! Thanks, Jesse.

Took a few minutes, but well worth it!

Well worth it, for sure.

I enjoyed that. But then, I enjoyed hearing the sililoquy rendered in the "original" Kingon that like Hebrew doesn't utilize the verb to be.

not fun, not worth the read. She was lame. With a little forethought and preparation I'm sure the proper interpretation could have been conveyed. The notion that there is more than one proper interpretation of Hamlet, is of course preposterous.

That was really cool! Thanks, Jesse. I'm going to send it to some friends.
