The Xi'an City Wall: Slums on one side, Leisurely park on the other
by Leolaia inthe xi'an city wall was built during the reign of the first ming emperor hongwu (c. ad 1370) on the remains of the old sui and tang dynasty cities, and today marks out the borders of the old city.
it stands 12 meters tall, has a width of 12-14 meters at the top, and runs about 14 kilometers around the city.
it was quite stunning walking on top the wall.

Revelation 22:14-15 and its Relation to a Lost Gospel
by Leolaia inoxyrhynchus papyrus 840 , an excerpt from an otherwise unknown narrative gospel of jesus dating to between a.d. 100-200, contains a story about jesus arguing with the pharisees in jerusalem over the issue of ritual purity which is paralleled in theme but not in content with mark 7 and matthew 15. the story is translated as follows:and taking the disciples along, he led them into the inner sanctuary itself, and began walking about in the temple precinct.
yet in a defiled state you have invaded this sacred place, which is ritually clean.
" and the savior stood up immediately, with his disciples, and replied, "since you are here in the temple, i take it you are clean.

Interrelationships in versions of a Jesuine saying
by Leolaia inthe sayings of jesus, as oral formulations that eventually take written form, can differ widely among each other in the gospels.
i decided to take one example to study in detail the interrelationships between the recorded forms of the saying so i chose the "true family" saying that occurs in a wide variety of sayings, and which did not originate in q. i present the sayings below in their narrative settings and highlighted the different distinctive features of the forms.
1st jesuine sentence is a question: mk, mt, eb .

A very hilarious comic
by Leolaia intoday i just went to see stand-up comedy and saw some of the funniest, killer stuff i've ever seen in stand-up.
this guy, will franken, is truly talented in voices and characters that he uses in wacky personas in his absurd sketches.
i was cracking up so hard laughing in parts, such as in response to his impersonation of stephen hawking singing "anarchy in the u.k." oh, i was in tears!.

This is a great hoax I've been following....
by Leolaia ini posted on this once before, but it is really turning out to be a fun thing to watch every day to see what happens next.
this is a weblog of a purported (read: fake) national guard soldier in baghdad who has gone awol to find an elusive iraqi doctor to treat him for his sickness, which he thinks might be due to the du muitions.
anyway, the site originally seemed to be an anti-military kind of radical site, but it has quickly degenerated into a soap opera between the soldier and his wife who has been pissed off at her husband for not coming home, and now turns out might have been cheating on him, and meanwhile he is running around baghdad with an attractive iraqi women.
