I could be wrong but what’s interesting to me personally is that Elijah wasnt just mad, he was scared for his life cuz there was a queen who wanted him dead so Elijah ran and told God he wanted to die because he was in such anguish

But God is so good and He always knows what we need!

Notice too that he didn’t even give Elijah some encouraging words to comfort him.  He just told him to eat.  Sometimes just being there and making sure someone gets through their anguish is enough.

AND THUS SPOKE THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE

“Why don’t you have a some food and maybe you’ll feel better.“

And God said, “Have a Snickers.”

And Elijah inquired of the Lord, asking “Why?” and the Lord replied, “Because thou doth lament greatly when thou art hungry”.

Thus Elijah took and he ate of the confection, finding it to be exceedingly satisfying.

The Lord then asked, “Art thou better?”, and Elijah replied, “Indeed Lord, I am better”. Then the Lord further advised Elijah, saying unto him, “Thou art not thineself when thou art hungry”.

quality religious jokes, people

Oh, this is a type of shorthand!

There are 3 main types, but from my research, this looks to be American Gregg Shorthand.

As you can see, there are set symbols for every letter.

Let’s break one of the words down:

Using the Gregg Alphabet as reference, we can see most of the letters in “atrophied” are present. But why no “o” vowel, and why is “ph” written as “f”?

Simple. In shorthand, you cut out all vowels in a word when writing it down, with the exception of words that BEGIN or END with a vowel (hence the “a” at the start being present), or like in the “i” in “atrophied”, to make it more readable when the sound could be harder to distinguish if it isn’t written. In “atrophied” if the the “i” isn’t written, it could be hard to tell if the writer meant a “fud”, “fad”, “fod” or “fid” sound, for example.

Also, since Shorthand is a phonetic writing system, you are encouraged to write down the phonetic sounds of words rather than the actual letter blends - in this case, write an “f” instead of a “ph”.

So in actuality, these aren’t just meaningless scribbles - it’s Gregg Shorthand, a writing system developed to take down notes more quickly than when written out in full, which is very useful in a medical or journalistic environment.

Some people can even write over 100 words in a minute! And, it’s been in use since John Robert Gregg invented it in 1888! Wow! So old!

Isn’t language amazing~?

witches and cowboys are the same entity but just separated at night and day.

Could you kindly elaborate on that please

  • Big Silly Hats 
  • Dangerous aura
  • Wands | Guns
  • Midnight | High Noon
  • Robes | Ponchos 
  • Stockings with boots | Chaps with boots
  • Magic Incantations | Yeehaws and slang
  • Brews Potions | Brews Alcohol 
  • Rides brooms at night because horses are sleeping 
  • Rides horses at day because brooms are recharging
  • Can’t swim

Moonshine is an alcoholic potion brewed by witches and cowboys; “Moon” to represent the Witching Hour, and “Shine” for sunny High Noons.

Breaking open an Obsidian rock. According to mudbloodead, “I’m an archaeology student and my professors favorite fun fact is that obsidian is sharper than surgical steel. Also it can shatter and the dust can get in your eyes and blind you.”

Obssidian was widely used for cutting and piercing tools, including the macuahuitl. It’s usually described as a sword or club, made from a durable heavy wood in the shape of a paddle or cricket bat. The last original example was destroyed in a museum fire, but a good flint-knapper can build one with some patience.

The difficult part is forming a rough cylinder of obsidian, which requires a large pure specimen with no cracks or inclusions. These flawless pieces were prized for making weapons and shipped from far away because they’re the only source of prismatic blades. These thin rectangular segments of translucent volcanic glass have long even edges, sharper than a straight razor.

The macuahuitl had grooves in both sides, where the prismatic blades were glued in with hot pitch. As a finished weapon, it became legendary for decapitating warhorses during battle against Spanish conquistadors.

The brittle glass edges shattered on contact with hard surfaces, like bones, but the dense wooden blade could still crack bones like a club. Some shards of obsidian remained in the wound, causing additional bleeding. The shards that stayed attached created a saw-toothed edge. After battle, the pitch glue could simply be melted to remove the spent prismatic blades and reload it with fresh ones.

And it’s actually been tested as a scalpel replacement set in a stainless steel frame. Similar to how macuahuitl are constructed. It being so brittle is why that was abandoned. It could easily break and leave debris in the wound, even on a microscopic level.

I remember hearing something about obssidian scalpels being used for eye surgery, but it seems lasers are more popular than shards of glass.
