Bag of Randomness
- Last week I pulled the cover off a sprinkler box and found a massive ant mound, so this weekend I decided it was time to head Lowes to buy some kind of ant mound sprinkling product. I can’t get out of that store with buying one product. When I approached the sprinkler box and popped open the cover on Saturday I didn’t find any ants, but two fat geckos. Problem solved?
- I don’t think Coach K could have died his hair any darker.
- Anybody got a good website that compares the different ways to better insulate an attic? It looks like there are basically three choices, some kind of aluminum spray on coating, foil you can nail/staple, and some kind of foam product.
- I’m always annoyed at people that laughs and claps when a waiter or waitress drops a plate. They’re already embarrassed enough as is, and I guess it’s partly because I use to be a waiter. But thankfully I never dropped anything.

New Bible draws critics of gender-neutral language
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – In the old translation of the world’s most popular Bible, John the Evangelist declares: “If anyone says, ‘I love God,’ yet hates his brother, he is a liar.” Make that “brother or sister” in a new translation that includes more gender-neutral language and is drawing criticism from some conservatives who argue the changes can alter the theological message.
The 2011 translation of the New International Version Bible, or NIV, does not change pronouns referring to God, who remains “He” and “the Father.” But it does aim to avoid using “he” or “him” as the default reference to an unspecified person.
The NIV Bible is used by many of the largest Protestant faiths. The translation comes from an independent group of biblical scholars that has been meeting yearly since 1965 to discuss advances in biblical scholarship and changes in English usage.
