Today I present my Restored English Translation (RET) of Ester (Esther) chapter 6. Apart from the last couple of verses (which usually appears at the end of chapter 3), this chapter is not part of most English translations: it's part of the oldest textual traditions, but (historically unjustifiably) rejected by modern Protestants and Rabbinic Jews, … Continue reading Restored English Translation of Esther: Chapter 6

Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back
Welcome to the 15th edition of My Fortnightly Movie/TV Thoughts. Last fortnight, I reviewed Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (1977). This fortnight, I’m reviewing:

(Gigantism - where a person is abnormally large, but weak - is entirely different.) They often have a supernatural origin, the result of a union between supernatural beings and human women. … Continue reading Evidence for Giants

Note: they're best understood by someone who as seen the prequel trilogy (preferably the entire series) (like me 🙂 ) (there are sequel memes). The perfect … Continue reading Star Wars Humour (Or, How to Waste Your Time)
