Thank you, Father Steve. Your scholarship is impressive.



It certainly is, but then, I would wish no less from one who is a judge in both the spiritual and temporal worlds.

Parody is delicious

I'm sorry if my misspelling of experiment confused you. I'll go back up and fix it, then you can reread my post. Maybe you'll figure out what I said.

Amen. A scholar juridical, canonical and etymological, equally adept in any Order you please.

A man of many cloths.

if I had written a book called The Dianetics of the Hunt in Ancient Greece prior to Mr Hubbard's little experiment with the gullibility of the human race, I don't see that that title would in any way be copyrightable

If you write the book, I'll read it. But you may not get it published under that title.

How about Diana of the Hunt in Ancient Rome?

You right. My bad. She was Artemis in Greece.

This sounds so very much like a character in a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta.

Hmm--this could also be made into a double dactyl, don't you think, Anna?

I had a double dactyl once, sitting in a small bar in Nairobi, Kenya. The day was hot and my thirst was Saharan, which overcame my usual good sense. I should have ordered a single, I know, and I've always wondered what happened during the twenty-four hours lost to my memory, immediately following that otherwise-memorable drink.

Father Steve, are you sure you don't have a hidden career, writing PI novels?
