...managed to leave feminism in the 1970s. I’m not asking them to wear an apron. I’m granting them the opportunity to wear a linen apron in my house in Corfu, just for show. While wearing heels. “Oooo, bend over to pick up that cashmere scarf, baby.” And the only girls who want to get in my pants, er, wallet, er pants, are the ones who already have linen aprons. Who is to know what...
Other Apocrypha speculated marvelously on the "flight into Egypt." In one version, dragons along the Nile bend their knee to the baby, and palm trees bow to offer dates. Another features a robber who will turn out to be the "good thief" crucified with Jesus. The flight made Joseph an early favorite of the Egyptian Coptic Church, which mapped a detailed itinerary reaching as far north as Dimyana, near the Mediterranean, and south far past the pyramids down to Deir al-Muharraq. The Coptic History of Joseph the Carpenter provided one of the first descriptions of his death...
...Internet may be great, but it is also the most compulsive waste of time man has yet devised. Your article adopted an uncritical "wow" attitude toward the Net.

Defying her typecast sweetheart role of “Bend it Like Beckham” or the forthcoming “Pride and Prejudice,” she shows her genuine ability to act and is completely believable as a woman who can, and would love to, hurt you. Yet no one has ever looked so hot screaming obscenities and flinging numchucks...
...This behavior, reminiscent of Zeppelin’s infamous departure from the stage during a performance of drum-centric “Moby Dick,” was somewhat bizarre, as Statham seemed so involved when on stage. Scofield himself was inventive as always; his guitar lines were mind-bendingly complicated at times, syncopated and fluid at others. Still, he never really abandons the post-bop vocabulary of his previous album, “EnRoute.” While his jazz-inflected playing is interesting in its own way, there is something removed and academic about his endless modal cycles...
