This one is fun. A steam powered wood mill that manufactures wooden boxes for vineyards and book publishers.

That is neat...a little overly romatic, but neat.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it., and Louis L'Amour is still very popular

This one has been making the rounds. I've always wanted to go to Kruger but since it is a self guided tour of the park you tend to get large crowds who stop along the way. Still it must have been quite a surprise when the animal jumped into the car. Lucky the cheetah didn't follow.

He somewhat over represented his academic qualifications. His PhD is in contemporary sociology of Islam, not history of religions. There were other embellishments.

Lamplighter · 07-30-2013, 08:35 AM

So you're a Doctor of Philosophy, eh !

That's not a real doctor, is it ?

You studied ' what ? '

Why would anyone want to study ' that ' ?

But still, you're not a real doctor, are you ?

Yes, so what good is ' that ' ?

Doc, I have this pain in my arm when I raise it up like this ?

Yeah, but you said you were a doctor...

What's philosophical about that ?

Well, why would you ever want to do ' that ' ?

So, did it cost a lot to go to medical school ?

Oh, but you said you were a doctor...

But why would you want to study ' that ' ?

Boy, that must be great... being around all those sexy nurses all day.

Well anyway, doctors earn a lot of money. How much do you make ?

Great talking with ya, Doc

You say "embellishments", I say simplifications. He was mercifully and patiently keeping the conversation on the interviewer's level, like any good teacher would. Why would the teacher move on to more advanced aspects of an idea when the student hadn't yet grasped the fundamentals?

I read a little and found that his (PhD) degree is in the sociology of religion, not only Islam. Also, his academic work to that point included a great deal of study and coursework in religion in a historical context (what else is there? religion of today?) giving him justification for his claims to be a historian, in my opinion.

Quote:

Leaving aside the fact that the Ph.D. was in the sociology of religion, Reza Aslan’s dissertation adviser, Prof. Mark Juergensmayer, weighed in:

Though Reza’s PhD is in sociology most of his graduate course work at UCSB was in the history of religion in the dept of religious studies. Though none of his 4 degrees are in history as such, he is a “historian of religion” in the way that that term is used at the Univ of Chicago to cover the field of comparative religion; and his theology degree at Harvard covered Bible and Church history, and required him to master New Testament Greek. So in short, he is who he says he is.

It is not unreasonable for a person who majored in the sociology of religion to consider himself a historian of religion if his emphasis during study was in history. There is a very large overlap between the fields, especially since “most of his graduate course work was in the history of religion in the dept of religious studies.”

What other embellishments did you notice?

That same Fox News anchor never asked a Baptist college professor why he wrote a book about Islam.

"22% of women will take a hot load in the face?"

Wow, that is surprising. I've only ever done that on accident, or by request.

Gravdigr · 08-05-2013, 04:24 PM

In a place that had clean up facilities, too, I bet.

You know you're loved when you get that request out in the woods where there ain't even a moist towelette.
