epiphany!

today is the 12th day of christmas - epiphany - the day the wise men reported showed up to see the bebe jeebus. the problem here, folks, is that the wise men did not show up 12 days after jeebus was borned but more like 12x2 months. like, 2 yrs, in case you cannot do simple mathematics.

mathematics. what a cool word, eh? i mean, english is english, history is history, social studies is what - soc stud? be serious. but - math is mathematics. math is like mathematics' nickname. in britain, they say maths, as in - 'ey, nigel - you done your maths lesson?

where was i? oh, right. epiphany. there's another cool word. it means a sudden comprehension of the true nature of something, an ah-hah! moment. and, in relation to jeebus, it means the moment the world had a sort of ah-hah! moment - as in, ah-hah! immanuel! specifically, the world in this case is represented by the wise men. here's a picture of the wise men coming to visit the wee tiny skinny little baby jeebus. i would have to say there appear to be more than 3 wise men, although the picture itself is a triptych, which is a coherent whole with three parts. maybe there's some msg being sent by the format, eh?



i have now stayed at work so long that my igoogle teahouse buddy is feeding the swans. or ducks. whatevs. bottom line? it's time to go!
