Depressing statistics. Tom Send a noteboard - 05/06/2010 02:11:40 AM
I posted a review of A Syro-Aramaic Reading of the Koran, a very dry and academic text about passages in the Koran that defy translation. It got 118 Views, 24 Replies.

I then posted a review of one of the best books published this year, the Big Butt Book by Dian Hanson. It got 60 Views, 6 Replies. WTF? People are more interested in obscure Koran passages than a nice ass?

Worst of all fared my post about the death of Russian poet Voznesensky and the dying art of Russian poetry. It has 33 Views, 4 Replies.

I wrote half of the replies in the latter two and slightly LESS than half of the replies in the first one.

What is the world coming to?
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

I don't look on the other fora much yet, so I didn't know. *NM* - 05/06/2010 11:10:27 AM 172 Views
