Posting has been light, for that I apologize. Between work and the house thing, it’s been crazy. Apparently people are starting to figure out that Google is a company and not some benevolent lord of the manor/Web. (Read this article for a brilliant flame.)

I always knew, growing up, that something about West Michigan wasn’t right. Now I know just what it was. A newly discovered fragment of the oldest surviving copy of the New Testament indicates that, as far as the Antichrist goes, theologians, scholars, heavy metal groups, and television evangelists have got the wrong number.
