Well, that's one way to bring the story to an unexpected end fast.

@PsyChuan

That's up to you. But you can't have something made to order. You are not that fancy... yet.

@Linebyline @cowboycatranch @epicdemiologist @graydon

"antisocial signaling"

Cats.

You are a criminal/artist in a cyberpunk and/or fantasy world with intricate fancy social codes. As a ner-do-well you have never needed your own symbol to stamp in wax for your letters (you just used your thumb) But, exciting new opportunities have you moving up in the world rapidly... suddenly you must pick a small object in your abode to make an impression: literally.

What do you choose as an impromptu standard?

With what object will you make YOUR mark?

@Free_Press

They are really gonna dump the worst ones on Christmas eve huh?

@coyotebroad

Well it can't make you worse ... probably.

@Virginicus

That's how a lot of traditional "miracle plays" start.

@Rowan

This makes it sound like the long dead king is on tour. But I can live with that.

I think he might have done that. The weirdo.

@mitch

I like this idea because it implies that screaming is part of the name of the country now.

AAA! United States of America! Oh No. etc.

@neia

It sounds like most of the annoying Christians I know more than anything if it was really how it went down. Some people say that is a layer added to the story later though.

@Rowan

FYI if you can go to LA they have Akhenaten out there until March 22

(I feel like Akhenaten gets done way more than all of the other Operas, I like it but I want to see some of the other ones...)

@Rowan

I'm very normal about this part where the youth/soprano? part comes in. It's so simple but perfect as more and more voices join.

I was hungry and you gave me food,
I was thirsty and you gave me drink,
I was a stranger and you welcomed me,
I was naked and you covered me,
I was sick and you visited me,
I was in prison and you came to me.
(Matthew 25:35-36)

May I be the doctor and the medicine
And may I be the nurse
For all sick beings in the world
Til everyone is healed.

May a rain of food and drink descend
To clear away the pain of thirst and hunger And during the aeons of famine May I myself change into food and drink.

Just like space And the great elements such as earth, May I always support the life Of all the boundless creatures.
(The theory of mouth and bodhisattva)

All people have the heart which cannot bear to see the sufferings of others. (Mencius)

It's that time of year to listen to the most beautiful part of Symphony No. 5 and NOT cry.

@gdinwiddie

LOL. For some reason the notion of arthropods having a lot of shoes will never stop amusing me.

@pms @EvilCartyen

Is it more of a US thing I wonder? It always felt like a "joke for the grown ups" that now, being grown up I still don't really get.

@gneilyo

At last a sensible answer.

@graydon @Ailbhe

"... trying to reconcile a prophecy that the messiah would be born in Bethlehem with another prophecy that he would be from Nazareth."

I have heard this too. But when I've tried to find out more there are so many People With Agendas in the mix I kind of give up trying to learn anything of consequence.

So, I focus more on what people remember about the story. Because I think we latch on to things that make sense, that keep such stories alive.
