Thank you, but I'd like to get back to the issue of being a slippery, eel-like creature. <VBG>

I asked you earlier about the apparent contradiction between the Christian view of the crucifixion as being the manifestation of prophesies (which, if anything, would make the Jews the instrumentality of God), and anti-Semitism which reviled Jews as the killer of Christ. Outside of a Get Thee Behind Me Satan, I didn't receive an answer. Have I pinned you to the mat on this one?

I would love to read N.'s thoughts as well.

TTFN,
CTC

I was amused by your earlier use of the Evile One's initials: it seems likely that he does search for his name, and it is thus a fully practical move, but it is odd how technology brings us full circle to the days of superstition: speak not the name of the beast, lest it seek you out.

On the other hand, the thought raises possibilities. I am no great poet, but imagine holding an impromptu contest for the best possible item along these lines:

Emile Vidrine stared into his screen
Contemplating how best to be mean
He searched for his name
To consider his fame
And found that we think him obscene.

It might make his searches more interesting.
