I found this left in an exam venue. As Ice Tea (or was that Vanilla Ice?) would say, ” Exam taker you fucked up! Whop me down Jesus with a crop top.” And NEW testament FFS? For exams you need to go all OLD testament on the examiners’ arses. Boils, frogs, first born put to the sword, &cetera. Also looks like the Fuck off we’re full quote from proverbs is missing from the Aussie flag page. “Righteousness fucks wit’ a nation. Motherfucker exalts (add Glock’s or whatever here). ” After you fail, a brace of Whop me down Sweet Jesus’ is called for. Why would I bother to search for whatever a Mason Jar is? Snuff will find a pic of a donkey rooting a Mason jar and all ist clar.

Shazza,
I ceaselessly peruse the internet looking for obscure and often rhetorical biblical questions to answer. It is all part of my grand scheme to direct traffic to my food review website (which has nothing to do with religion at all).
The little cup you are looking at is supposed to be the sort of clay jar that the Israelites used to collect water during the Midianite oppression of the Jews. Gideon and his army were, in part, able to defeat the Midianties because they hid their torches in water jars so as not to be detected. They smashed the water jars at the last minute, revealing their torches.
One wonders whether the oppressed Israelites really would have used such an elaborate fat-man-with-his-hands-on-his-hips shaped jar when they were just going to smash it anyway – but i suspect the Gideons know mroe about these sort of things than I do.

Anytime Shazza, but it is I who now owes you some thanks.
I had never heard of Shakespeare putting his name into the KJV, but some quick internet research shows that this conspiracy theory seems to have a fair few followers.
Sorry I can’t help out with it, but I’ll keep reading on the subject – I love a good conspiracy theory. Perhaps we could start a ‘google KJV truth’ website.

Hi Shazza,
I’m having a twofold problem with the insertion of the name of Shakespeare into the KJV.
First, I just can’t get it to line up. While ‘Shake’ is indeed the 46th word from the start of the 46th Psalm, ‘spear’ would appear to be the 47th from the end. I may be using a counterfeit KJV – so let me know if yours lines up properly.
In any event, there was a pretty large panel of people who oversaw the translation of the KJV. It would have been fairly unlikely that Shakespeare could have taken too much liberty with his translation (if he was, in fact, a translator). I guess it is possible that the original Hebrew contained words that could be interpreted as ‘shake’ and ‘spear’ in approximately the same place, and Shakespeare saw his opportunity – but my guess is that it is more likely a coincidence.

Mine lines up. 46 in, and 46 back. And yep there were several peeps commissioned to oversee the rewrite, but who would be looking for tricky insertions like that? I don’t know what to think really. It does seem like a remarkable co incidence?

I would have thought that an erudite individual such as yourself would have realised that is it one of the longest running and most successful con’ jobs in the history of mankind and especially womankind. (Check the ratio of men/women in any Sunday service).
The real mystery of religion is that the human brain seems to be predisposed to theism of some kind or other; perhaps as a result of the Darwinian principle:
The infidels and heretics were all put to death in gruesome public displays of tyranny and cruelty; exemplifying my favourite moré:
“Be reasonable; do it my way.”

Well, shaz, as a once-upon-a-time seriously religious person and a thrice-a-week attendee at church and chapel services, I can assure you that, even then, in the murky depths of time, the ladies outnumbered the gentlemen.
Generally the male attendees were mostly under threat of domestic discord and long term involuntary celibacy if they did not submit and trot along with SWMBO.

A Mason jar is a glass jar used in canning to preserve food.
The term often refersspecifically to jars featuring a two-piece cover: An inner, flat, metal or glass lid, covered by a screw-on ring. The ring holds the lid in place during the canning process, which creates a partial vacuum, sealing the lid until opened. The lids are sold separately so that the jars and rings can be reused.
Mason jars are made of soda-lime glass, and come in a variety of sizes including quart, pint, half-gallon, and cup sizes, as well as in wide-mouth and regular mouth shapes.
