Well, listening to Net@Nite podcast the other day I found out about Jonathan Coulton!

So here is two songs that cracked me up! the first one up is Baby Got Back (remake)….now this is an acoustic remake of an old rap song….so please be advised there is very questionable lyrics in this song…but holy cow this song is stinking funny when heard in this new way… here it is:

Baby Got Back (Remake) by Jonathan Coulton

And the second song that you all must listen to is called Code Monkey. This is one of the best songs I have heard in a long time and those of you who code all day long will really apprecite this song! (it is a song by a geek for geeks) and this one even has a you tube video so check it out here:

The Lost Family Tomb Of Jesus….. a radical statement…

Well the hype machine has started….again….

I am getting tired of people writing books that force me to read them, heh. 1st off was all the stuff about the bone box of Jesus’ brother (which was debunked) then it was Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code (fiction!…but really good fiction, heh heh) and now I get to read this book:

And this book goes beyond putting theories into fiction, it flat out claims it found the bones of Jesus…and his family, and his son, etc… (most of you will know that “the bones of Jesus” Christian philosophy story is one of my favorites that I tell to challenge people to deal with their theology when it comes to the resurrection and ascension of Jesus….thanks to the man who told it to me the first time Jerry Walls)

Now, I will not make any comments of it yet (and probably will not put them here anyway….but I know that the world will read this book (mostly because James Cameron did the documentary for the discovery channel on it…want more about that you can go to the hype machine here:

But, I will post a little response from a man I respect a great deal (N.T. [Tom] Wright) when he was asked about such and claim in 1996:

Dr Wright said: "These were very common names at the time and it would belike someone in 2000 years time claiming to have found the tomb of the royalfamily because it contained the names Charles, son of Philip, Andrew andDiana.

& another article:

Dr Wright said it was "laughable" that anyone could have tended the body ofJesus without it becoming public knowledge. 

  He said early Christians had been adamant that Christ's body wasresurrected,and this was the reason the religion had survived.

   "This is no more than an interesting coincidence."

Oh and does it not see a little weird that if Jesus had a son, that the early church would have known and covered that little tid bit later on…you know the SON of the one they accept to be GOD….and the guys on The Today Show this morning even said that it was all found in the 1980’s but everyone dismissed it and it was only after they found statisticians that told them that having all those very common names back then in one place is the only evidence they can base their claim on… not a very strong on if you ask me.

Anyway…. I suppose i will read the book (or have Tiffany read it and then tell me what it said, heh) and then i will watch the documentary on the Discovery channel and be able to at the very least talk to others about it… but I might be able to tell the bones of Jesus story a few more times, ha ha ha… thanks for reading the blog…. KUTPs!!!
