Off-topic humor

Logos has titled a miracle "Jesus Calms the Wind and Waves" (Michael Aubrey, All the Miracles in the Bible, Faithlife Biblical and Theological Lists (Bellingham, WA: Faithlife, 2020), Mt 14:32.). As I scrolled down, and caught the title in passing I thought "Whoa ... who did Jesus wave at?" ... had to scroll back to make sense out of it. But I promise to remember the miracle of waving.

Thank you MJ...now I will never be able to read/say that verse again with a straight face...jk. Gotta love when the English language seems to go astray in it's meaning(s). [:D]

Thanks, MJ.

A good laugh in the morning helps to set the day off in a good direction.

Ah yes, this must be the NT fulfilment of the OT wave offering: "...then you shall bring in the sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest to the priest. He shall wave the sheaf before the Lord for you to be accepted." (from Lev 23:9-10)

Shouldn’t there be a comma after wind for this to work? The added comma is what makes the panda joke work anyway.

Not required but permitted, I believe. However, as it happened as I was scrolling down and caught it "out of the corner of my eye", the presence of a comma is unlikely to have change the mind imprint.
