    Btw: Shura, if you would read that bible, you would learn many interesting ways for scheming and killing, but the bad thing for you is that most often the righteous prevail. ;)

    @Sir Bel - how's the laser level? Velcro's birthday is coming up...

    @Jschild - "Knight Life" is great!

    As for us, my son got the big haul of gifts: two outfits, two computer games, two videos, a CD, lots of toys and games...

    My sister gave us a gift card to the home store where we do most of our shopping these days. SWEET! :roll:

    [​IMG] @ MoN: I've studied the bible academically. Which means that I've read it at least six or seven times already and have compiled a huge stack of notes on it.

    It's the enclosed church pamphlet that pisses me off the most. :mad:

    But Bhaal will be pleased... :evil:

    One last thing: Who says good guys win in the bible? I mean like, the archvillian inside it is Almighty for crying out loud. He created the world and smacks down any who oppose his reign of terror. He does all sorts of vile things and nobody can stop him. Holy crap he even succeeded in wiping out the human race with a flood! I mean, did any villian ever succeed in an evil scheme like that before in any other book? Even his supremely vile henchmen like Moses, Joseph, etc, etc are uber munchkins. Hence, the villian not only wins in the bible, he totally Owns0r!!!11

    This year I gave better than I got (note the "what are you giving thread from a month ago or so).

    My wife gave me a wall filled with empty picture frames. No joke. The present was supposed to be a bunch of pictures of my daughter, but she didn't start working on it until 2 days before Christmas, then I had to fix the computer for her ... so she just hung up the empty frames.

    I also was given:

    Some nice clothes from "Territory Ahead"
    Two "Mensa" logic puzzle books
    The Pythons by the Pythons autobiography
    Pirates of the Caribbean
    1/2 lb of Starbucks Christmas blend

    It truly is more blessed to give than to receive!
