Some quibbles. The thesis that the ancients began with a literal acceptance of the text and moved from it as difficulties arose isn't correct. The tex...

Are you shucking them, or do they come packed in a plastic container? The former is more reassuring. The latter easier. And you say cooked. How so? Gr...
True story, so this is hard to joke about for me, but I was on a plane that went down and eventually some of this passengers died of natural causes. T...
