Dr. Who probably seemed too mainstream for him- ... yet IMO he was one of the best- up there with Tom Baker. "Jude" was great, CE was great, *perfect* as Jude, but it flopped. Is that based on Jude the Obscure? I haven't seen it. CE is my first Doctor, too. I've always avoided watching series where all the girls do is scream for help. I'll miss him. Yes. The current Dr. Who has certainly modernised though. It's still male hero with female 'assistant' but she's a pretty strong-willed character. Also interesting is the extra male sidekick of dubious sexual orientation. Hints of T. Russell Davies' influence perhaps? -- David Horne- www.davidhorne.net usenet (at) davidhorne (dot) co (dot) uk |

Any true depiction of Jude the Obscure will have the audience sawing
through their wrists before they've got half-way through their popcorn. It's one of the bleakest books I've ever read - I thoroughly enjoyed it! Travel trivia - they filmed (at least part of) it in Durham. A lot of it was filmed in the Edinburgh Old Town - the High Street near Parliament Square and around Greyfriars Churchyard. I haven't seen the film but I have seen the set. You can often watch movies being shot below George IV Bridge in summer, in the cul-de-sac that leads to the back entrance of the High Court, which is easy to dress up as an 18th or 19th century street. But it does get *some* traffic; shooting must occasionally be interrupted to make way for police vans loaded with thugs on their way to jail. If they'd only ship them out in tumbrils the courts could make a bit of money out of their location. ============== j-c ====== @ ====== purr . demon . co . uk ============== Jack Campin: 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland | tel 0131 660 4760 http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/ for CD-ROMs and free | fax 0870 0554 975 stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, & Mac logic fonts | mob 07800 739 557 |

We were in the Louvre near the end of May and my wife insisted on taking a tour.
Our tour guide was a pushy Brit who hustled us along at a breakneck pace. Right near the Madonna Of The Rocks I started to get a pain in my chest and, thinking it might be angina, popped a nitroglycerine tablet under my tongue. Big mistake. Nitro drops your BP precipitously -- this is OK if your BP is high, but mine wasn't -- and I passed out. If I had my wits about me I would have splayed out in my best Vitruvian Man imitation -- and waited for someone to tell me "shooting hasn't started yet..."

The Bible got the count of legs wrong since what is forbidden are
"All the winged insects that walk on all fours are detestable to you." Insects have 6 legs. Is there any defense of the Bible on this latter point?? Yes, he http://www.scripturessay.com/q367c.html The original Hebrew word was not "insects", it was hard to translate but meant something like "teeming creatures". Alan |

Alan Interesting, the English language section the web site gives that part of Leviticus I was referring to. 20 'All the winged insects that walk on all fours are detestable to you. 21* 'Yet these you may eat among all the winged insects which walk on all fours: those which have above their feet jointed legs with which to jump on the earth. 22* 'These of them you may eat: the locust in its kinds, and the devastating locust in its kinds, and the cricket in its kinds, and the grasshopper in its kinds. 23 'But all other winged insects which are four-footed are detestable to you. That site said---- "Everything that the Bible states about Science is true. Science may be behind what the Scriptures reveal. The Bible is NOT a textbook on Science, but any time it reveals incidentally a fact of science, it is without error." "The case you bring up is interesting. I think there are a number of explanations possible. "Four" is the wrong word to look at in the original in this situation. This is apparently a problem word for the translators. Let me illustrate. Here is how the main translations in English have translated this passage." So the claim of the writer is that the Bible is without error but the English translation must be in error. There is no real reference to the passage in Hebrew which has been "mistranslated". The critical part is the "four-footed", how "teeming" got mixed up with that I can`t imagine. Generally the passages seem to be describing insects (spiders have 8 legs) of a type which frequent the Middle East. Claiming that there is a translation problem with "four" sounds absurd. That "six" and "four" might have gotten mixed up, OK, but not four and teeming. Next anybody who claims that the Bible "is without error" is functioning of the basis of faith, not reason. My other point in the posting is that that kind of "faith" which led to the dark ages, the mass destruction of books and knowledge in general that took place after the 4-5th century. My view of this Biblical passage is that those insects which were found edible were put on the "eat" list, and those which were not (even poisonous) were not. It was trial and error by man which gave rise to the food taboos mixed in with some superstition which might have excluded edible foods for various reasons. I can see people brought up that certain foods are dirty and dangerous will not eat them, I have Muslim friends who, like the Jews, will not eat pork. Having been told all one's life that it is yucky food is good enough reason why not to eat it. I have eaten fried cricket in Taiwan, its saving grace is being prepared with lots of garlic and served with beer. In the meanwhile, when possible, I will turn my attention to lobster. Very unyucky if well prepared. |
