I own two versions of the bible, the King James and New International Version.
I was recently asked to compare the two by a fellow student. My response was quite possibly the "smartest" joke I've ever told.
"Well," I said "Although it is probably less accurate to the original Greek and Hebrew, I prefer the King James; it reads like Shakespeare. The NIV comes off like a bad translation of the Oresteian Trilogy."
Nobody laughed.
This blogging fad of yours faded pretty quick eh?
ReplyDeleteI get the bible joke. But that's only because I had Old King Jimmy crammed down my throat during my prime developmental years. I wonder if that's how serial killers are made.
ReplyDeleteI personally like the good old original Catholic Bible myself.
