The Secret of Psalm 46 - an online gem

Every now and again, you stumble across something that really captures your attention online - this happened to me yesterday while I was doing some research into Psalm 46 for a lecture I was to give - the blog posting I found had very little to do with it; however as a piece of delightfully engaging, entertaining prose it had me hooked. I heartily recommend it to one and all, so click here and read on: The Secret of Psalm 46 by Prof Brian Moriarty (Yes he really is Professor Moriarty Mr Holmes!!

True Lies

So now it's official, thanks to the UK justice system - telling lies to a computer is still lying.

From The Register: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/11/26/lying_2_computer_still_lying/

What did surprise me from the ruling however- was that the Judge decided that even though Renault had been defrauded of money by the defendants claiming discounts they were not entitled to (the lying to the computer bit) - he said they could not have that back as damages as they did make some profit from each transaction anyway.

Sounds like stealing a little is ok, as long as you dont steal a lot... that dunt sound right 2 me.
