Anatomy
Reading between the lines on my blog, you’d expect that anatomy would be my favorite subject. You’d be wrong. Sure, when it is made personal I can find it attractive, but as an academic subject, it bores me. I have … Continue reading
‘But I Wear A Yarmulke…’
D. emails: You whingeing little ponce! You write, "I wear a yarmulke and tzitzit and a beard and people still ask me if I’m Jewish." You’re NOT Jewish. A self-administered conversion doesn’t count. Rabbi Union was right. You’re a deceitful … Continue reading
