I will check back on your blog to learn how it's done.DrRoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01351695058512676554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21432259.post-88987327169407980272009-08-15T04:21:05.989+01:002009-08-15T04:21:05.989+01:00Roy,

I was perusing the internet for information about him and did a google search leading me to your post. <br /><br />I am intrigued by his writings and am interested in reading them further. Will have to google those as well to find them and the image! Thanks for your commentary.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11857832952433617886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21432259.post-46258020366133631242007-06-02T07:17:00.000+01:002007-06-02T07:17:00.000+01:00No, no particulars: he has picked on some rabbinic...No, no particulars: he has picked on some rabbinical tradition that Adam and Eve were splendidly clothed by God before the fall. Briefly, he rationalises with a stray memory of rock-derived fibres in Italy, but then can't resist what he also knows about the reputed properties of onyx as it is now known, when not treated with the divine fabric-softener. The underpants are my own buffoonish extrapolation from this nonsense. I like the way all this happens in three hours: from 'Let me chip you out of those, my dear' to 'Now, where's this forbidden tree You mentioned?'<BR/>No pink in the Bible. Exodus is where the Hebrews really get going with their colour schemes.<BR/>The AV a a whole seems to have 44 greens, 50 blues, 4 yellows, 10 purples, 198 reds and 52 scarlets.

Does he go into particulars about that onyx underwear?<BR/><BR/>Not that I'd care... err<BR/><BR/>It makes a lot of sense that green should be the first colour mentioned in the bible. But what about pink? Is Pink ever mentioned in the bible?<BR/><BR/>I should clearly get some sleep!Henrikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14598430900454794649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21432259.post-31574569509448291642007-05-31T21:41:00.000+01:002007-05-31T21:41:00.000+01:00You can have it for your next SF title (which the ...You can have it for your next SF title (which the Kilgore Trout in you is already itching to write, yes?).DrRoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01351695058512676554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21432259.post-62347713344704991272007-05-31T09:45:00.000+01:002007-05-31T09:45:00.000+01:00Best.
