OK, there's this thing that I saw. Apparently, I am the only one I know who saw it. But
I saw it. It was there, on the
TV. I didn't
make it up;
I swear I'm not crazy. That's where
you come in.
It was this
black and white clip. There were guys in
lab coats (presumably even in a
lab). The
premise of this clip was that a group of
scientists had finally made small enough
camels and large enough
needles as to pass the
former through the
latter. (I believe someone, somewhere, had already
achieved this feat with these two objects in reverse order.)
For those of us who don't know, this is a
reference to a
proverb taught by
Jesus Christ: "
It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven". Some
scholars believe the word "
camel" was
mistranslated, and should read "...easier for a
rope to go through..." But,
I digress. Someone
please say that they know
what I'm talking about and saw this
clip that I
really did see, and prove this
node's
title true.
Do it for the node.
Another situation has come up:
I have this
sound bite running through my head, but it's missing a word, and I don't know from
whence it came or who said it.
I hear it as a little
british boy speaking: "I'm -not- a ______, I'm a -boy-". Seems like he was pretending to be something that he obviously wasn't, but when someone noticed him they
played along so well that the boy told them he really wasn't this thing he was pretending to be...
Why is my mind so
crammed with stuff that everything gets
muddled?
REDEMPTION IS MINE.
Thanks oh so much to
Spackle for enlightening me. The camel skit was a
SNL skit and a transcript can be found at http://snltranscripts.jt.org/scripts/96cheyward.phtml
