Not quite related, but: by accident today I came across a video of a flash mob singing the Hallelujah Chorus at a food court somewhere. One woman started it, then by ones and twos others stood on their chairs and joined in; and at the end they all just sat back down at their tables. Utterly cool, esp. since they could really sing.

I saw that as well, really nice.
It was done in Brussels, Belgium, last year, and both are on
You Tube somewhere.

Oh how a comma changes the meaning!
We like sheep...
or
We, like sheep, ... You might notice in the bible translations that I linked to, none of the translations that use the wording "all we like sheep", none of them use a comma between we and sheep.

Here is what you saw on TV" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXh7JR9oKVEAnd when I said Brussels, I meant Antwerp: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EYAUazLI9k&feature=relatedfrom the Sound of Music.

Oh, thank you for posting that! I'm not sure I could have found it again. The first time I watched it I had tears streaming down my face. I can almost never hear or sing that without crying.

Had to go to a Cathedral Advent service last night and what turned up in the reading? All we like sheep, have gone astray I was very much amused by the coincidence especially as in the sermon it occurred another two times

Love these things. "... senseless acts of beauty" and all that. I think I saw that first one previously, but it was from a cell phone taken from above. Very crappy view. This one is much better. I know I've seen the second one previously, as well.
