History!

This i got from aguys blog...pretty kool, acually


: "The Good (Text) Book
While doing some homework this afternoon, I noticed a lot of scribblings in my rhetoric textbook. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that someone had blacked out all of the Es in 'BCE.' For the uninitiated, 'BCE' stands for 'Before Common Era,' a secularization of 'BC.' Historians apparently noted that 'BC' and 'AD' (itself replaced by 'CE') are a little too Christian for a world calendar, so they substituted them. And as is the usual practice in Louisiana, the evangelical Jesus freaks defaced my textbook just to show the world that...um...they like to mark things. Just like the beast!


Thus sayeth the Lord: 'She who writeth in ye margin shall ascend to heaven' (Scribbler 10:16)

Click the above pic to enlarge it. It looks like that kind of perfect handwriting you see in ads that are made to look like they have handwriting on them. What you see is what I saw, and has not been altered in any way. I don't know who scribbled out the portion on the left-hand page, but I make it out to say, 'When the world DIDN'T EXIST!' referring to the line 'Around the tenth century B.C.E.'

Even better, on page 43, this brave crusader crossed out 'damning' in a sentence. Then she wrote 'lindseybizilia @ hotmail' on the margin next to it. I take no responsibility for any hijinks that occur from that disclosure...I'll just say, to each their own, even if it makes my textbook hard to read.

Whatever happened to faith being a personal thing?
