University Of Late-Night Studies To Close?

Sometimes people ask me where I learned what I know about theology and apologetics.

"University of Late-Night Studies," I tell them.

But maybe that school is about to close.

For me and other sufferers of insomnia.

FIRST LONG-TERM INSOMNIA TREATMENT APPROVED.

The problem up to now has been that insomnia treatments have either had horrible side-effects (like grogginess during the day) or been ineffective for more than a few nights at a time (because your body gets used to them).

Long-term effects of the new treatment on apologetics are unknown.

Christmas Greetings From China

Hi Jimmy,

I just want to make known a wonderful display in one of the big shopping malls in secular/Buddhist Hong Kong. 

They have constructed a large lifesize Nativity scene, and another
scene showing Mary, Joseph and Jesus looking for a place to stay. And
on the ceilings, you have angels carrying a banner saying ‘Glory to God
in the highest and goodwill toward men’

In addition, performances are definitely Christian in content, especially those on the 24th and 25th.

If you look beyond the veneer, it’s still commercially driven, and
one feels the ‘true spirit of Christmas’ is also lost on them, but it’s
still good enough!

Amazing that they could get the true spirit of Christmas more right in a place that is part of China (which is officially atheist and often persecutes Christians) than malls can over here.

All Your Gifts Are Belong To Us!

Aybabtu_1 Yesterday I posted an Engrish Christmas greeting from Japan.

Down yonder, our first three commenters riffed on this by quoting and adapting different aspects of the most famous Engrish of them all:

"All your base are belong to us."

In case you missed it when this was all the rage on the Internet, FIND OUT WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT.

Funny stuff!

I can’t help chuckling at the part where guys put the saying up around town and it gets misinterpreted as an alarming threat in a post-9/11 world.

In case you don’t know what Engrish is, FIND OUT THAT, TOO and VISIT THE MAIN ENGRISH SITE.
