According to Thomas Jefferson - "Christianity...(has become)
the most perverted system that ever shone on man...Rogueries, absurdities and untruths were perpetrated upon the teachings of Jesus by a large band of dupes and importers led by Paul, the first greatest corrupter of the teaching of Jesus."

"There is strong reason to believe that St. Paul fabricated the belief system of Christianity from Zorastrian mythology in order to hide Paul's plagiarism." George Sarton - History of Sciences

While Paul never met Jesus, he was able to convince some gullible followers that he had seen Jesus in a vision.

Isn't aperture the factor that affects the depth-of-field? (Wide apertures give narrower depth-of-field while narrower apertures give wider depth-of-field)

Telephoto lenses tend to have narrower apertures.

Wide/fast apertures are more common in normal lenses.

So, why do photographers say that telephoto lenses make it easier to blur the background more in portraits?

Little darling don’t you cry
I see that teardrop in your eye
Mommy had to go away
Maybe she’ll come back someday

Things do happen at our age
And sometimes its just a stage
Things that we will soon regret
But we never will forget

You know we had a fight
In front of you, it wasn’t right
So come closer little dear
I’ll wipe away that flowing tear

Daddy’s staying home today
I just can not just go away
As she looked up from her place
I saw a smile upon her face

Lets make a plan to spend our day
So hurry up, be on our way
To the park we will go
To watch the gentle waters flow

We’ll climb a mountain way up high
Closer to the golden sky
At the top, we’ll make a pact
That once a week, we will come back

Its you and me together now
We’ll make it thru. I know some how
Till mommy knows she shouldn’t flee
Be with us two, and always be

I need a monologue for a play that I'll be auditioning for in about a month and a half, so there is no huge rush it would just be nice. The play is a christmas carol, so the monologue should work well with a british or cockney accent, and it can be dramatic or comic, whatever...thanks to anyone who answers any acting tips are more than welcome too, thank you all... : )

I still want to be a musician, even though I've never been famous. I am OLD, in my mid 40's, but can still make soundtracks and other such things and know I am good enough, because peopel say so, and mostly aren't kidding.
I've been playing guitar for over thirty years and started on the Violin when I was five. Flute for 15 years.. I don''t write anything, (thank God you'd probably not want to hear it), but I just enjoy playing cover tunes, just mu old favorites to share... The reason I've really applied myself over the last five years especially, is because i was sick of my records and CD's always being ripped off, so decided just to learn and play the stuff instead, in order to keep it that way..
Would someone like you be embarrassed to hear an older person play and sing music, the way a kid probably would?. I'm just a 'late bloomer' musician, but is that OK?

This is a true story. I'll reveal later what actually happened.

I'm curious as to what you all think would be a funny way of ending the joke.

A dentist sees a new young patient for the first time and his mother has accompanied him into the examination room. When the dentist reads the child's chart and notices his name is Dante he turns to the mother and says,

"That's a name I don't come across very often, have you heard of Dante's Inferno?"

The mother replies"_______________".
