This must be Number of the Beast week since I just found another not-so-surprising fact.
The first Apple computer was designed by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak in a California garage and sold as a kit in 1976 for US $666.66. I long guessed the Apple Computer-Devil connection, after all Eve was tempted by an apple*. Notice that both founders of Apple computers have “eve” as part of their first names and Jobs is a reference to Job who was tormented by the devil. Also Wozniak is an anagram for NAZI WOK an obvious reference to the end times when Germans and Chinese will be part of the final battle. Are these coincidences? – I think not. Apple computers are more than likely connected together using a Beezelhub.
The Mac gives you a pretty and stable operating system and you are lured in the false belief that an operating system and life can both run well if designed correctly. Windows is the operating system that correctly reflects reality. Things don’t always work as planned and clicking on things can have undesired consequences, just like life. Windows reminds us that we are not self-sufficient and working with it often leads to prayer when things inevitably go wrong. The frequent crashes remind us to pick up the cross-linked files daily and then we also ponder if there is life after “Blue screen of death.”
So my advice to Mac users is – repent and reboot.
*Yes I know the Bible doesn’t actually say what kind of fruit it was, but I will go with the common belief here.
For those out there who are superstitious of the number 666 and worry about embedded chips with those numbers or in a house address or telephone number then I will add to your superstitious repertoire.
If you are a superstitions geek then also watch out for these numbers representing 666.
Binary: 1010011010
Octal: 1232
Hexadecimal: 29A
So if when you brought your child home and made sure there was no 666 birth mark on their head like Damien in the Omen and you breathed a sigh of relief when you found 29A instead, sorry.

Dan Foote wants to make biblical figures as popular as professional athletes.
So he took a cue from the latest marketing trend in major league sports and, with his partners, started a business that makes bobblehead dolls out of the men and women of the Bible.
Now he and his partners are selling 7-inch versions of Noah, Samson and Moses for $14.99 that come with a comic book summarizing each of their stories. If those dolls are strong sellers, Queen Esther, Daniel – and possibly Jesus – could be produced next, Foote said, although another company already sells a Jesus bobblehead.
“We want to create a hunger to go to God’s word to learn more about these people,” said Foote, a 43-year-old Christian cartoonist.
“God works in strange and mysterious ways, and we want to be a part of this strange and mysterious way.”

I think that the Virgin Mary would be appropriate as a Bobblehead. After all she was the only person to continually say yes to god. Most of us are wobble (east-west direction as in no) heads with an occasional bobble (yes) to God. I can imagine a child asking their mother after seeing one of these dolls in a car window, “Who is that mommy?”, “Why that is Noah”. “Then why does he keep shaking his head like Yes-a?” I wonder if the Samson character has long hair, if he does then he would probably look someone from Headbanger’s Ball on MTV.
Catholic Light does a humorous take on Al Gore’s TV network proposal.
I can just imagine the first ratings period and them screaming “The ratings were stolen from us – we are actually number one.” They will get really upset when �Buchanan and Press� comes up number one in Palm Beach.

This letter of St. Augustine which denounced a little known heresy practiced during his time has recently been uncovered. This had previously been confused with a better known work Against the Manichees.
Against the Manikins
You say that Christ did not come in the flesh but only appeared as an animated manikin. That the purity of God could not be merged with sinful flesh and thus only appeared exteriorly to be human. You claim that God being spirit could not be incarnated as man or woman but could only have the non-distinguishing sexual appearance of a manikin. That Christ could only walk on walk because his body was in fact lighter than water. You err grievously both in your understanding of Holy Scripture and of our redemption. If Christ did not come in the flesh than the sacrifice was of no avail. If he did not shed true blood and did not share our nature than we our still in our sins. If Christ truly came as a manikin then only those stoic non moving personages in department stores are saved. The Apostle John said “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father.” Christ after the resurrection said “See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself; handle me, and see; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have.” Jesus himself taught “he who eats of my flesh will have eternal life” he did not say “he who eats of my hardened plastic body like appendages will have eternal life.” You mistake our sinful will as being equated with being in the flesh. When God created the world and Adam and Eve he said that all he had created was good. You ignore the whole of scripture and only quote St. Paul saying ” those who are in the flesh cannot please God.” Repent of your heresy which is of no avail to your salvation and remember that Christ was like us in all things but sin.
