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. Jesus came specifically for those shut out from the good things of life. He challenges us to bend all technology to a human cause, not to plug ourselves in exclusively to a culture that exists only for a small minority. As a Catholic, I will be impressed with the Vatican's presence on the Net only if the church shows an awareness of the Net's prime difference from all other media...
...Keira, in whatever state of clothed-ness she may be, actually is the shining element of this movie. 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...
Against Brown a week ago, the Crimson exhibited the truth of this axiom, employing a bend-don’t-break defensive mindset to ultimate success. In that game, Harvard held the Bears to three points from inside the red zone five different times and ultimately prevailed in overtime. In contrast, the Mountain Lions did not attempt a field goal all afternoon, finding the endzone every time they ventured inside the Crimson 20-yard line...
