Im Blasian. And when people meet me, they still call me african american. Its not that I'm ashamed-I'm not. I accept I'm black, I'm proud of my black side (My dad is dominican) But he isnt from africa, my mom sure as hell isnt from africa, so why do people call me "African american?"

Based on answers previously on Yanswers, I am down to a concoction using venom for the following reasons:
1. historicity; the practice of giving cucifixion victims a stupefying agent seems well documented, and is supported by every respected bible reference i've consulted.
2. Practical elimination: every other substance I have seen mentioned (bile, plant galls, certain plants and mushrooms) either have no effect or would produce effects which surely have been noted, like convulsions.
3. Symptomatic: Various venoms produce the symptoms described in the gospels.
4. Dosing: Only venoms are completely ineffective if swallowed. They only work trans dermally and the mouth is the best site for transdermal administration, and especially so if there is a mouth injury, as is very likely considering Jesus' rough treatment.
I can only find one candidate, the Mediterrean viper, but I would like to think that a snake with neurotoxic venom is more likely. An other candidates?

A dinner speaker was in such a hurry to get to his engagement that when he arrived and sat down at the head table, he suddenly realized that he had forgotten his false teeth.

Turning to the man next to him he said, "I forgot my teeth." The man said, "No problem." With that he reached into his pocket and pulled out a pair of false teeth. "Try these," he said.

The speaker tried them. "Too loose," he said. The man then said, "I have another pair...try these." The speaker tried them and responded, "Too tight." The man was not taken back at all. He then said, "I have one more pair of false teeth...try them."

The speaker said, "They fit perfectly." With that he ate his meal and gave his address. After the dinner meeting was over, the speaker went over to thank the man who had helped him. "I want to thank you for coming to my aid. Where is your office? I've been looking for a good dentist."

The man replied, "I'm not a dentist. I'm the local undertaker."

It could have potentially been a DUI, actually.

But the cop said Jesus is the reason for the season, and asked my friend if he agreed. He said that he did (although he actually doesn't) and the cop let him go.

For me, it's my First place in French Dictation Level B award due to the fact that I was the only one from my school to enter the competition of that Level and I actually thought I was going to get third, but when they called my school's name, I knew I won the award. It made me realize that I do have a knack for the French language and I have decided to pursue further knowledge on the subject.




In case some of you are unaware of how the dictation works, here's the basic breakdown.

There is one proctor and you(along with about 20 or 30 depending on how many reps from a school are sent) have to listen and write down everything they say in French. You get marked off for mispelling words, missing words, forgetting the accent marks, grammatically incorrect sentences, and putting the accent marks in the wrong spot.

Paraphrased- A certain man came to jesus, Nocodemus a Jew. (notice it states clearly he was a Jew) He asked Jesus. "tell me lord how can I (a Jew)get to your kingdom?" Jesus replied; "you must be born again". (not as a Jew). Jesus did not like Jews. They refused to worship him and his father Julius Caesar.
The idea that the ancient Roman cult of Caesar accepted a Jew as their god is pure ignorance of some important historical occurences.
