bible meaning great blue heron
Heron v Christ Leaving aside the obvious joke about there being no meaning in those dusty sheaves to begin with, there isn’t any Biblical meaning to great blue herons because they’re a new world bird. So, like dinosaurs, the planets, microbes, electromagnetic radiation, etc, etc, etc, God and the various purveyors of his word had no idea they existed yet.
The altogether similar gray heron, ardea cinerea, is another story as its range does include most of the old world. Since the symbol of Christ from the chi to the rho became the fish, one supposes a gray heron might have ingested the host and perhaps even have been transubstantiated.
“Too little too late,” writes one Biblical scholar.

what to do when i fuck my mom
Breathe through your mouth, close your eyes, and think about Denise Richards—make sure not to imagine her saying anything, of course. You don’t wanna lose that anniversary erection just on account of your mom’s backne.
Me: Okay, stop.
Myself: What, what? What?
Me: That was a bridge too far, man. Seriously.
Myself: I’m just giving the fans what they come here for: hot mom sex. Check the referring queries, dude. I don’t make this crap up. Well, the queries I don’t make up. You know. …What? You’re actually offended?
Me: A little, yeah.
Myself: Do have any idea how schizophrenic that sounds?
Me: No. All I’m thinking about is I don’t even remember where you learned the word “backne.”
Myself: Sealab 2021.
Me: Oh, yeah. You know that reminds me. We should visit that guy’s other website. Sedition·com. That site’s funny.
Myself: Only some of the time, Ashley. Only some of the time.

space is a trick of satan
That’s a new one for me but I guess it’s obviously ancillary to the fossil thing.
I suppose if it were true then it must be God who’s blowing up Space Shuttles and killing those astronauts daring to venture so high, just like the Tower of Babel. And it does really have a certain logic. If space is a diabolical domain, that would mean all the wireless telephone providers are literally minions of Satan and not just figuratively.

perl quotes in quotes
Option 1—escape ’em. 
# quote characters same as the string delimiter
my $example = "Tried and \"true.\"";
my $triteness = 'Constant is constant and isn\'t edifying.';
Option 2—use the brilliant perl functions qq, q, qx, qw, qr, or <<; depending on what you’re trying trying to quote and how you’d like to do it. 
# you can use almost anything for your quote delimiters
print qq/A "$variable" and newline!\n/, q(A real '$dollar sign.');

print <<'';
Don't be a tricky bastard now!
     I won't stand for it.

print qx,/usr/bin/banner phat ashley,;
See the rest in the perldoc perlop. You should look at perldoc -f quotemeta too.

norway summer vacation
This is something I’ve never understood about some o’my ancestors. They used to go down through Europe by boat—vikings—or road—varangians—and kick ass, trade goods, drink beer, buy or take quality steel, spread DNA… They left Norway in the summers. They invariably came back to Norway for the winters.
They came back for the winters.

newest word in the dictionary
It’s a seriously bizarre situation. The newest word in most English dictionaries is actually an older word which was just returned to active status.
When the word “gullible” was removed from new dictionaries a few years ago it caused huge controversies among casual lexicographers as well as crossword and Scrabble fans. No one outside the cloistered editorial offices of Oxford University could understand the rationale. Honestly, I still don’t. But it was done.
The word refused to leave active usage, however, and was grudgingly replaced during the last publishing cycle making it one of thirty-‌two new words added last Fall (2004). The issue continues to spark arguments as one person will often remark to another that the term “gullible” is not in the dictionary but when a recent edition is consulted, it does again appear.

gullible—The Devil’s Dictionary X™
why are chinese smarter than others
To the extent that this is true, it’s because Chinese culture puts an emphasis on scholastic achievement and self-‌discipline. Chinese American kids aren’t any smarter than Polish American kids after a couple generations because by the time they’re American, that focus on education has mostly disappeared and the self-‌discipline thing…
I don’t know where to start. Wait, yes I do. The parents. When you don’t apply discipline, when you let your kids whine their way out of things, when you let them beg you into changing decisions, you are hurting your children as surely as if you took the belt to them. Probably moreso.
Zur Abwehr des ethischen, des sozialen, des politischen Darwinismus It’s important to point out that Chinese culture and science was probably the most advanced in the world about 1,000 years ago when Christianity and Islam firmly and in tandem put the brakes on Western civilization. Since the Renaissance and the Age of Reason—an age long past, I’m afraid—most all important science comes from the Occident not the Orient.
Without blowing a nationalist horn—the US with an average IQ several points lower than China’s still went to the Moon and originated most of the innovation that is allowing China to pull itself out of the middle ages and the nearly constant starvation of millions of people. Which is proof that your philosophical system is more important than your raw intellect or resources. Philosophy is just another human tool, and humans live or die by the quality of our tools. Free market Democracy—which a great deal of the West has at some level or another, even run by ass-‌monkeys and morons, which pretty much all the West is—will beat Communism—even when driven by a bunch of geniuses or linguistics professors—every time.
