No I wouldn't pass it (1899) since I don't master Latin and Greek. And that we are more stupid after 100 years.

Organ Scaffolding
Organ Scaffolding really takes tissue scaffolding to a higher level. Already humans have their organs transplanted by natural/synthetic scaffolds injected with cells. This eliminates the need of organ donors.
Objections? I'm sure there will be from some religious groups.
However, I do think it interesting when it comes to more crucial parts of the body, such as the brain.
Nova's new host, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, great educator, really does make the show more colorful.

NYGC Network System Down
Just got notified by the auto system that all network at NYGC is down. It's 3 AM now.
I can only think of 3 reasons (from most possible): 1. Whole Line service down, 2.Power Outtage, 3. Fire!
I'm too tired to deal with it now. I'll deal with it in the morning.

Drunkenness of Music
Popular hiphop, rock, etc. are to emotion what drugs and alcohol are to body.

Offering: Gratitude or Command?
If it's a 50/50 vote, then obviously I'm not crazy.
However, I do like the quote from the article:
Douglas LeBlanc, author of Tithing: Test Me in This, commented, "What is maddening to me is if there were a more explicit command to tithe, I think there would still be folks who would say, 'We are not in bondage to the law after all.'
"American Christians in particular, I think, will never fail to find a way out of tithing if they are not interested."

3 Unread Mail Messages
"3 Unread Mail Messages" shows up on my welcome logon screen. But not emails...where they go?
Solution:
Check Outlook, Outlook Express & MSN Messenger (In my case I removed my msn).

Childhood Toys
Came across this store: New Dragon Toy Wholesale Inc. 龍池貿易玩具公司。
Reminded me of some times I've seen in the old days back home...penguin sliding rising machines, 8-min remote controlled small helicopter ($30), etc.
I'll write it here so I can throw the business card away.

The Contribution of the Reformation
One chief work of the reformation movement back then (not now), is the discernment of both good and evil from a single action.
Such as from Jacob's deceptive action: false testimony (sin), desire of birthright (righteousness).
Something that is usually betrayed by the simpletons. So they either make evil that which is good; or make good that which is evil.

Facebook Maintenance
I have just gone through my facebook account to hide those with useless/selfish messages, and removed a Jonathan Koay, no need to include this ignorant selfish debtor on my list (This JoKer still owes me some 100-200USD for extra shipping cost for sending his stuff back to Malaysia some 10 years ago and claims he's given me the money but couldn't provide either a fake proof or knowledge of the amount he owes). He can be my friend if we meet. One can imagine how he makes his money.
Now, I shall have a good limited reading from FB.

Well, I guess I'm not alone...
Came across this Daniel Mann's article: Preaching the Entire Word vs. The Theology of Silence, on Tim Keller after his recent chat with NBC on Civil Justice.
I had always thought of Pastor Keller as a thinker...not a preacher. I just can't believe I missed the show, given that I knew the schedule and it's free and I have transportation problem. I guess I don't have to go after all, given this revelation.
And I was...am...unaware that Rick Warren had switched side on this gay marriage issue...no doubt Warren's own dilemma, but perhaps Mann's exaggeration?
