Sorry I am shouting again, Damian.

Noah didn't need a fence because he had no stolen goods to sell. Anyway, fencing wasn't invented yet by that point. Its origins date back to ancient Egypt and Greece, around 1200 B.C.
Did they use rapiers or épées?

After the flood, there wasn't enough left of the fence to repair so they had to start from scratch.

Joe,
Raindeer get me in the Christmas Spirit too but there is another thread already dedicated to discussing the 12 Days of Christmas specials.
Please stay on topic. I know everyone in that thread certainly has.

No, we are supposed to be discussing anything but what we are supposed to be discussing. Which causes me to discuss the very thing I wish to avoid, ahhhh....I need to get back to being off topic....
Oh, just like Paul in Romans 7:15-20. Paul gets a bit sidetracked in there too, just like us in this thread. I mean he's said it already once, and then he just keeps repeating what he just said, as if we didn't get it the first time. I guess sidetracked isn't the right word. He's being redundant. That is, repeating himself, saying the same thing a second and third time. Déjà vu all over again.

I think you mean "you're" not "your."
Anyway, that's no fun at all. When fruit flies at you, you're under attack. It's time for a course on Self-Defense Against Fresh Fruit.

There were no rapers in the Noah story. The rapers were in other parts of the OT. There was Amnon, the raper of Tamar, and various other rapers.

I think you should go back to anagrams Rosie.

Bob, I'm impressed that you actually caught up on this thread! But you'll never stay on top of your work if you read it regularly. :-)

What do you mean "go back to anagrams"? It was an anagram. Rosie Perera = Or I see raper. (or if you prefer the text I was taking off from: "Or see rapier") I won't tell you what else my name anagrams to. ;-) If you start with my full name however (Rosie is just my nickname), including middle name, it anagrams to "more weariless prayer." I like that!

Ouch!! Never mess with an anagrammar! (Anagramer just doesn't look right)

The correct term is anagrammatist. But I don't mind being called an anagrammar -- I am usually a stickler for grammar, so that fits. :-)
BTW, for anyone who likes anagrams, there is a great website called the Anagrammy Awards. I'm an active participant there, too. (You'd think I never did any real work! Well, I've got no deadlines at the moment.) Some folks have done some amazing anagrams of biblical texts. Check out the literary archives by Richard Brodie. He's the one who has done the most good biblical anagrams. In fact, he and a friend of his co-published The Anagrammed Bible which is the entire books of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon, anagrammed verse by verse. Richard has also turned the phrase "The God of Israel" into 2100 anagrams paraphrasing the entire Bible.
Maybe we should try to get The Anagrammed Bible into Logos format.

But of course I blame you Rosie. You're one of the offenders as well. Forgive me for not pointing out your sin. I won't make that mistake again. Say, is that a speck in your eye?Rosie Perera said:

Since when did you become Italian? (With appologies to my Italian friends on this board - if I actually have any friends left).Damian McGrath said:I resent the implication that I ma no good at thread hijacking...
On the other hand it's bad because they can't re-produce.Damian McGrath said:
But, if you fixed them then that's a good thing. They are no longer sinners....
Oh, nuts... Richard /beet/ me to that one.
So... you're spending your valuable time in this thread? On second thought this would be a good place to vent. Let's see, maybe you should just spout off about some secret project that Logos is working on. This is a safe place to do this, nobody reads this thread anyway.Bob Pritchett said:I went to Camp Logos (in TN) and never got caught up on the forums again... but I'm trying to get back on top of it...
No, I thought someone was making a Social List.

And a good day of rehab it has been! My desk is clean, my file system is set up, my inbox is empty. I did not run to the forum for my escape to reality all throughout the day. Thank you David Allen! Hope I keep with you :-)
EDIT: I was going to correct my "escape to reality" bit but then I figured that's probably the correct preposition in this thread. "Escape from reality" would make too much sense.

For lack of a better place to post this ... thought I would post it here.
I hope it formats properly. Everything should be centered.
The Beauty of Mathematics and the Love of God! This is TOO cool!
Just the math part is good enough, the end is even better.I bet you will NOT be able to read it without sending it on to at least one other person!

12 x 8 + 2= 98

12345678 x 8 + 8= 98765432

Brilliant, isn't it?
And look at this symmetry:

11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321

11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321
Mind Boggling...
Now, take a look at this...
101%
From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:
What Equals 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they
are giving more than 100%?
We have all been in situations where someone wants you to
GIVE OVER 100%...
How about ACHIEVING 101%?
What equals 100%in life?
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help
answer these questions:
If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
Then:
H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
And:
K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%
But:
A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E
1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%
THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:
L-O-V-E-O-F- G-O-D
12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%
Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:
While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will
get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!
If you find this interesting share it with your friends
& loved ones.Have a nice day & God bless you

Wow! We have all been seriously upstaged.
Praiser, thank you for hijacking this thread with that mind-boggling mathematical beauty. I have to interject one of my favorite quotes here (it was the quote I chose for under my picture in my high school year book): "Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty." (Bertrand Russell). Russell was a famous atheist, but even he couldn't help himself in acknowledging the existence of supreme beauty in mathematics, which we know can only come from God.
Now please, someone hijack this thread back so that we don't get too fixed on a single topic for too long and get rusty in our hijacking skills...

I dunno. [8-)] My wife claims she has changed more than 90,000 diapers. All I know is if the "cost of raising a child through college" projections were correct, I must have made a lot more money than I remember. And there was still some left over for Logos.

A lady named Ana and a gentlemen named Tel tried a long distance relationship by mail but they couldn't communicate. She claimed he was too brief, and he just said she was mixed up. Everything she wrote was of course an anagram and everything he wrote was a telegram.
When a third party stepped in to assist he was given the job to delete all of the correspondance that would cause further problems. His name?
