This only unbiased opinion is obviously that modern money should have pictures of cats. Some wonks recently stored images using DNA... of the three test images, one was a cat.

Was just surfing among entries within my Mac dictionary app ... first entry was to remind myself of the gist of the
[i]
Immaculate Conception
noun
the doctrine that God preserved the Virgin Mary from the taint of original sin from the moment she was conceived; it was defined as a dogma of the Roman Catholic Church in 1854.
[/i]
Then I clicked on 'dogma', defined as "a principle or set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true" ... but the ensuing 'origin' blurb says it is from the Greek, where it means, literally, 'opinion'.

Isn't all religion that is not based on secular philosophical principles,
which means all religion period, merely an opinion?

Religion is the opposite of science, logic, and proof.
And that is a fact, not just my opinion.

oh... pinion !

[sorry, I could not refrain myself, hehe, but however, about the religion, we totally agree]

Fixed that for you.

In honour of the 400th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare
 

Sonnet CLV

I must complain, my lad. I think I know
A living parrot from a bird that's dead,
Like this one, bought not half an hour ago,
Which failed to move; the reason was, you said,
The mere fatigue of a protracted squawk.
I say it's stiff, not pining for the firth.
And if thou hadst not nail'd it to the balk
Full fathom one it would repose in earth.
Norweyan Blues, thou say'st, stun easily,
But this one is extinct; it is no more;
It's ceased to be, forever not to be.
To meet its Maker it is gone before.
Bereft of life, alas, it rests in peace.
This popinjay hath suffered its decease.

Nice!

Some time I'll regale you all with monosyllabic Shakespeare.

Oh what the hell, why not now.

[I]The Prince of the Danes[/I], Act Three, scene One.
[INDENT]To be, or not to be: that is what we must ask:
If it is best in the mind to hurt from
The slings and darts of sheer bad luck,
Or to take arms to a sea of woes,
And, through a fight end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The ache of the heart and the ten times ten times ten true shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a fate
Much to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: a chance to dream: ay there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come.
When we are no more, like a well known Blue Bird,
Must give us pause; there's the truth
That makes a bad fate of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The bad man's wrong, the proud man's words of scorn,
The pangs of loathed love, the law's wait,
[/INDENT]
And so on.
