Aloysius Posted September 15, 2005 Author Posted September 15, 2005 linguistics rule ... the mystery of human language fascinates me to no end. anyway, yeah I remember posting this. I also remember reading it. It remains one of the most interesting facts contained in my brain, ranking right there next to my newly attained knowledge that pig DNA contains the information for forming wings and in fact, with one slight genetic defect on the part that tells cells not to read the wing instructions, pigs actually could fly.

Theoketos Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 [quote name='Aloysius' date='Mar 24 2004, 03:11 AM']i read it in a book, but that guy. i think he has a doctor as part of his name? i can't think of his name now. it was called "The Rosary, Mysteries, Meditations, and the telling of the beads" it's one of the sweetest books i've ever read.

Pretty awesome book, though sometimes he does not always present both sides of an argument faitly. Still, he is an awesome author.

The book changed my life, though I still play sports for example, which he argues against. Still, I repeat the book changed my life, and I own most of what he has written. The book about Angels is awesome.
Aloysius Posted September 27, 2005 Author Posted September 27, 2005 I suppose you are right about such things, I don't know what specifically you were referring to and thought the Rosary book had a pretty rounded view of arguments
