Those would grow into the Jack Skellington heads, and grimacing jack-(&jane)o-lanterns!!

You know how as a kid older ones would try to make you think a watermelon would grow in your tummy if you swallowed a seed accidentally?

Well, these are the pumpkin seeds that’d do JUST that (pumpkins, not watermelons!)

Thanks Ronan. And thanks people for putting up w/my sillyness!

Cuh-rap. I think I’m in trouble.

My fav.
Thanks Frank.

Check this out. Maybe it will make you feel better. Or maybe it won’t, but it’s funny regardless.

No one raised their hand. I thought, how stupid, it’s obviously Jesus. So I said it’s Jesus! She paused, looked at me very seriously and said, “No Amri, it’s Satan.”
I was mortified. Because I was a know-it-all and because I couldn’t imagine that Jesus and Satan were so closely linked. I sulked about it all day.

Yep. Sounds like one of those nasty Mesopotamian kings.

Sarebear,
Philology: having to do with language and writing, linguistics.

I’m just kicking myself for sleeping through 1:23 am April 5th, 2006.

1. Fallen from heaven
2. Wants to exalt his throne above the stars of God
3. Wants to be like the Most High
4. Made the world as a wilderness
5. Destroyed the cities / shook kingdoms
6. Is *not* a king of nations
7. Is cast out as an abominable branch
8. Shall inherit hell / “the pit”

is not at least a dual prophecy about the devil and the King of Babylon?

For great are the words of Isaiah. For surely he spake as touching all things concerning my people which are of the house of Israel; therefore it must needs be that he must speak also to the Gentiles. And all things that he spake have been and shall be, even according to the words which he spake.
(3 Nephi 23:1-3)
