What are frankincense and myrrh?

Frankincense is a gum or resin obtained from the sap of certain trees, and used as incense in some religious ceremonies. Myrrh is the same sort of stuff, from a different plant.

What were the names of the Wise Men?

Saturday, August 29th, 2009

The Bible doesn’t mention any names for the Magi (wise men). In fact, it doesn’t even say how many of them there were. It says they brought three gifts, and that is why many people assume that they were three of them.

If you know the answer, why ask the question?

What is the second star you pass when travelling at light speed?

Saturday, August 29th, 2009

You head out from earth on a spacechip that can hit the speed of light. The first star you pass on the way into the deep Milky Way is the sun. After you pick up some speed on circling the sun, you hit light speed and head out to the blackness of space. What star will you pass by next?

It depends on the course you take on passing the sun…if you take a course in this direction

Right ascension 14h 39m 36.4951
Declination -60° 50′ 02.308"

In about 4.3 years you will reach Alpha Centauri, our nearest extrasolar star.

Good luck on reaching light speed though, I assume you realize it is still sci-fi right now…

What is the tone and style in O. Henry’s short story "The Gift of the Magi?"?

Saturday, August 29th, 2009

How can I write a nice 7-9 sentence paragraph about the tone and style of this story. I really enjoyed the short story.

The style is third person limited narrative. The tone is the same as the mood of the story. How does it make you feel? A bit down? Frustrated? Hopeful? You choose since you read it. Pax-C

It would be the burial anointing of bitter herbs for the body.

Why did the three wise men give baby Jesus gold, frankincense and myrrh?

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

I would think they’d have given Mary diapers. They were wise men, after all. I mean, what the heck is a newborn going to do with some useless pixie dust?

Unless….
It was secretly enchanted pixie dust that gave him the super powers of the Jesus we all know today.

What do you think?
I can understand the kingship, and maybe the priest-ness….but death? To a newborn baby? Sounds like my kind of wise man.
Brandon: Tomtom can be your best friendfriend. Well…actually, maybe not. He’s my best friend. I saw him first.
Brandon: Tomtom is basically the best GPS system in the world. It’s like God but convenient, actually answers your questions, and fits in your pocket.
Or he’d off you.
Depends on the question you finish up with, haha.

Maybe they were going to a bachelor party the next stable over and just lost their way. Hey, it happens, even to wise men with no GPS.

–What the crap is Tomtom? Sorry, I was disctracted – watching a video of a toilet exploding.

—Answers my questions, eh? Well, with the kinds of questions I ask on this site, I’m thinking maybe ol’ Tomtom might end up offing itself.
