Talk:Targum Onkelos

message: Not everything in the world has to be related to modern Jewish denominations.  This is an issue that has been discussed for a very long time.  It properly belongs in a section on "history."Dovi 12:59, Jul 23, 2004 (UTC)
This is a quote by User:66.108.191.130 moved from the main page:
I just want to point out that Onkelos was a convert.  He started late down the path of a life of God and still managed to be a great scholar.  His translation is not only a translation but also a commentary.  Today we would consider such a work "biased" or just a bad translation, it was not intended to supplant, but rather to explain the Hebrew text.  Let us pray that all of us, no matter when we begin to take our faiths or beliefs seriously, we will walk with the divine and serve as a beacon to others as Onkelos did.

I'm pretty sure Señor Cardgage and Creepy Comb-over Strong Bad are the same person, since Strong Sad actually SAYS that they're the same person (if I recall correctly). This is really not important, though. 
What matters even LESS is that ``Senor`` should be ``Señor``, although they don't spell it that way on the homestarrunner site, so I won't change it for authenticity's sake.

Talk:Philoxenus Anicetus

message: His name means "friend of foreigners", doesn't it?
Can we ascertain some meaning from it or is it as meaningless as the "George Washington" in GW Bush?
An interesting thought!
We simply don't know whether the Indo-Greek kings took coronation names which indicated aspects of their policies. The even later king Hippostratos has a name meaning "horse-ruler" and that is quite auguring for a ruler trying to rein in mounted nomad tribes. Then again, Hippostratus was probably a prince by birth whereas we know of no ancestors of Philoxenus. One could possibly - but it's a wild shot - associate the "foreign friends" in the latter name with the same nomads.
By the way, "George Washington" is IMHO not a meaningless name. The Bush family could - very roughly, but still - be compared to some kind of dynasts, and the name clearly shows that his father was an ambitious man who wanted to connect his son's name with his lineage as well as the patriotic past.

Talk:Montreal Locomotive Works

message: The crew comfort cab, soon redesignated as 'safety cab", was a result of a committee set up by the railways and the BLE  that worked with the builders to produce an improved cab design. The first units were GMD GP38-2F 5560 6/23/73 possibly an add-on unit of an order for 60 units, followed by an order for 50 units later in the year. At the same time MLW 2500 6/14/73 was the first of an order for 80 units. The designation F was for "Full" width cab front. W is a railfan designation for "wide" cab, a misnomer since the cab cannot be "wide" beyond standard measure. In railway parlance anything "wide" is considered a dimensional load beyond normal and may require special handling.

message: The statement near the end of this page about the Jet locomotive being based on old MLW/Alco designs is, I believe, quite incorrect. This locomotive is an entirely new design like nothing else on the rails. It is being tested and waiting orders.

message: I have encountered literature that have claimed the famous "Emerald Buddha" in Bangkok is carved out of green jasper, or even green agate. Everyone agrees it is not, in fact, an emerald. Having seen the beautiful object myself I am inclined to believe it is very fine Burmese Jadeite Jade because of the translucent to semi-transparent lustre and the saturated emerald green color.

Talk:Yeshu

message: I am curious if the Editors have read the original texts quoted in the Talmud?  I'm sure I could grab a copy, but that the Aramaic is not present in the article seems to be a glaring omission.  Afterall, a translation is already an intepretation.  Also, if Pandera is spelled פנדרה/פנדרא or similar, perhaps its a suggestion to Pandora?  Its uncommon for someone to be referred to as son/daughter or a female, but here the meaning would be loaded... if there is any basis for that interpretation... LFevas (talk) 22:08, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  Relating Pandera to Pandora requires a showing that the people referring to Pandera have a familiarity with Greek mythology.  Greek was prohibited reading among Jews for some time, which Talmud records.  It would require a showing why people concerned with Jewish law, history and culture would bother to refer to a particular character from Greek mythology.

replies: text: How do you know that reference wasn't added to the Torah at a later time, or referred to just one of the rabbinic communities? Not all Jews had the same Talmud, just as not all Jews had the same Torah translation, Syriac, Samaritan, Babylonian, Aramaic (Proto-Hebrew), Palestinian Aramaic. Hebrew fell out of favor from 600BCE-200CE. I've read entries on Wikipedia of at least one Jewish scholars who did learn Greek. Greek and Aramaic were the primary government languages. Until Rome took over around 20 CE??? Can you really imagine Jewish communities never having government contact? Someone knew Greek. And the most likely people would be the scholars. Jewish math systems could not even count grains of rice accurately. They would have had to have learned Egyptian, Aramaic, or Greek mathematical systems. And from 320BCE forward Greece seemed to control trade with Egypt. So Greek math and science seems more and more likely if there was a scholar who was Jewish in faith then he knew Greek in science, some level of fluency would be needed.

Talk:Body thetan

message: So, once the clusters of body thetans are exorcised by the patient, with help from highly experienced practitioners *, where do they go ?
According to Thetan they, and we, are immortal souls, sinless ( since body thetans are sent involuntarily ) and who are just in the wrong place at the wrong time.  So they can fortunately not be extinguished.
A thetan can be incarnated many times over lifetimes and does not cease to exist at body-death, nor go to a heaven or hell.
...
When a thetan abandons its physical body—they go to a "landing station" on the planet Venus, where the thetan is re-implanted and told lies about its past life and its next life. The Venusians take the thetan, "capsule" it, and send it back to Earth to be thrown into the ocean off the coast of California. They quote Hubbard as saying, "If you can get out of that, and through that, and wander around through the cities and find some girl who looks like she is going to get married or have a baby or something like that, you're all set. And if you can find the maternity ward to a hospital or something, you're OK. And you just eventually just pick up a baby."
But that seems to refer to ordinary operating thetans, like you and me.  Nothing is said about these free thetans.
Now, Xenu may have been imprisoned in an electronic mountain trap these past 75 million years, though one hopes this is not in perpetual torment  ---  Mr. Hubbard being a rather vindictive fellow   ---  but he was a mighty sinner:  as said, these body thetans have not erred.
* The Scientologist is directed to find a cluster of body thetans, address it telepathically as a cluster, and take first the cluster, then each individual member, through Incident II, then Incident I if needed. Hubbard warns that this is a painstaking procedure, and that OT levels IV to VII are necessary to continue dealing with one's body thetans. Xenu
Understandably this takes a great deal of effort from the auditors, and it is obviously right that they are forced to charge high voluntary donations; but presumably the disincarnated souls have to go somewhere.

message: According to the current text, the origin of the word for pear is given as the Semitic word for fruit, cited as pirâ which is probably meant as an Aramaic word; the corresponding Hebrew word is pərī. But this derivation is impossible, since the [r] is original in these Semitic words, whereas in Latin it is the result of rhotacism from earlier *pisom, corresponding to the early Greek *á-pison. Thus the etymology given in Douglas Harper's Etymonline, that it derives from a lost Mediterranean language, is the best explanation hitherto.
