I vitnam the tip of the spear was the poor sap out front. But not for long.MEDIC

He should poke Thor in both eyes. Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk

I imagine if you get poked by that stick you would be thor

Dogsniff’s comment would be considered undeleteable also unfathomable…. as in wtf? Huh? Scratching head? Much too early and too little coffee to try to figure out any meaning there might be to that.

Wouldn’t it be more of a 90-degree turn to see Thor’s profile? At 180 degrees you’d be facing him full on.

Actually, the Facebooker can’t see the profile of the Facebookee unless the Facebookee turns, too. And, since the Facebooker is facing us, you’re right, the turn should only be 90 degrees. Let’s face it, this horse is dead.

I get it. Thor doesn’t want to shoot him in the back.

ps: Thor and BC are facing the same direction. If BC turns 90 degrees, he won’t be looking at Thor, except peripherally. If he turns 180 degrees, he’ll be looking at Thor, who would then presumably turn 90 degrees to show his profile.

How quaint are the ways of caveman courtship.

There was a small gate in the city wall of a size suitable for a single man to go through (see “sally port”) that was known as The Eye of the Needle. Or so I’ve read.

Social networking….FACE what.

actually another mistranslation by semiliterate catholic monks: the word translates correctly as Rope, passed through a needle’s eye. makes much more sense.

Actually, if BC turned 90 degrees, Thor would be looking at HIS profile. Thor would have to turn 90 degrees and BC would turn 190 degrees to see Thor’s profile.

Someone invented it early!

I can’t speak for the tip of the spear thing but the other “For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

I see it as a metaphor for the imposable.

I don’t know. That social networking thingie he’s trying looks alot like a declaration of war. .Go ahead – poke him back with his own spear.

I think it happens when you forget to use a / before the esc command in the last set of angle brackets… happened to me the other day… no ‘delete’, ‘reply’, or even ‘flag’ options… handy to know if you actually want to post a comment that can’t be flagged tho!

Yup! Seems like leaving the ‘big and bold’ code open, also affects the comments display size on your homepage tho too!

The Needle’s Eye is supposed to be the name of one the gates of Jerusalem (the small one).

..and twist his nose a bit,too!

Actually, the idea that the eye of the needle was the name of a smaller door within a larger gate is a modern idea that has no real basis in what is known of the times. There were such doors allowing people to enter when the city gates were closed for the night, but no evidence exists at all that they were ever called the eye of the needle. The eye of the needle that Jesus was referencing was exactly that—the eye of a needle. As for the suggestion of a rope, the word used in the Greek text is actually “camel” so there is no question of “semiliterate catholic monks” getting it wrong. There is some similarity between the word for “rope” and the word for “camel,” so an early transcription error is not entirely out of the realm of possibility, but the plain meaning (whether camel or rope) is a metaphor for “impossible.” Jesus goes on to say that with God all things are possible. It is God’s grace, in other words, that makes the impossible possible.
