[kj] Wormwood star / "Asteroooiiddd!"

[bongo]

funnily enough, thats the exact bedtime story i was listening to last night,
from the audio book, 'the politically incorrect guide to the bible'.

alot of the bible is history, not all is spiritual guidance.
some is metaphor, some is esoteric..

one thing i read about lots wife, was that the turning to salt, meant that
was was made barren.
an idea worthy of not immediate dismissal i reckon...

anyone remember the childhood game 'japanese whispers'?
(maybe you seppo's call it 'telephone' as on Victims Family song *mousetrap*
...)
"...OK, let's play another game. I could tell you my secrets. We'll call it
Telephone. And then you tell someone else until the truth is distorted and
unrecognizable. We could make mountains out of molehills, out of nothing,
out of dust Betray your trust...."






"due to a lack of trained trumpeters, the end of the world has been
postponed indefinitely..."
