People to miss
I have been having little bouts of sadness over the fact that my friend and partner in Greek-and-Latin-crime, Branimir, has carried himself off to Europe, where he will start his grad studies in Math at Germany in September. Where in the world am I going to find another person who would go to the trouble of concocting the following excessively-wordy joke for me, because I appear to be feeling down?
And I quote:
"Ὦ Μερεδί, I feel strangely compelled to console you with the following dumb "joke":
So in a parallel universe, there forms a certain religion, greatly resembling Christianity, called Dith.
And then, after 15 centuries, it really starts to disintegrate in to all manner of denominations, in the course of the Dithian counterpart of the Protestant Reformation.
And then finally, some 2000 years after the founding of Dith, the Dithian equivalent of C.S. Lewis comes into his own.
And so, were the Dithian C.S. Lewis to write, as a sort of œcumenical gesture, a book outlining what he viewed as the basic common ground of Dithian belief, what would it be called?"
If you don't get it, just google C.S. Lewis. Or maybe Indigo/Amazon him.
Me? I just love "...in the course of the Dithian counterpart of the Protestant Reformation."
