I always imagie that Hell will be a kind of Teams meeting which never ends.

BLOCKED AND REPORTED

I will answer that question when you tell me the number of ר's there are in "Reish Lakish."

This creature in the margin is looking forward to #Halloween .

What if I ask, "Have you got a builder's rod?"

Not to mention the shrinkflation; the books used to be longer too.

I'll never understand why, unlike science students, philosophy undergraduates aren't given practical examinations. Here's an example that could be used as a model:

Familial terms are often used in a looser sense. You're so right, brother.

When did the shift happen from a time when politicians in government acted like leaders to an era where they are seeminly only motivated by a desire to placate the worst and most destructive voices?

Farringdon is the only station whose name can be decomposed into three complete words acceptable under the rules of Scrabble.

Prove me wrong.

Bottle of Stones Original Green Ginger Wine

I am very concerned at the number of pubs I have visited recently where the staff have never heard of Ginger Wine.

Have you heard of it? Have you tasted it?

What about Whisky Mac? Did he die in vain?

I think this was the Prophetic Voice calling out to the people who were starting to get a little concerned about the resurgence of fascism.

They are already promising to cut spending on universities by replacing professors with powdered eggheads.

I'm struggling with whether I should more worried about my optimistic predicitons proving false or about my pesimistic predictions proving true.

It's a pity that the poll didn't break this down by which version of hell the respondents have in mind. The Jewish Gehenna is, for example, somewhat preferable to the Christian conception, as being a temporary stage to allow the soul to attone for sins and also boasting a day off every Saturday.

As hard-right figures spread division and laud autocrats, a fail-safe is vital, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Someone just sent me a WhatsApp saying, "What is virtue?" I now know just how Meno felt.

Thank you for posting this. It seems strange at first that the name Noach appears to be repeated on the same line, until you see it in a modern printed version.

Now that the planet has withstood an outage affecting Pokémon Go AND Fortnight, perhaps we don't have to worry so much about catastrophic climate change any more.
