Humor comes from where you least expect it (but should)

There's obviously a ton of other stuff I promised to write about - and I will, I swear - but in the meantime I thought I'd throw a little unrelated nugget at you. You know - from the suburbs of....whatever.

In the middle of some requisite quiet time the other day, I did a little research and discovered that Adonai - an ancient but still very common word in the Hebrew language for God - is quite often mistranslated. Not with a different interpretation, but an incomplete one. Incomplete isn't necessarily worse than being wrong, but it certainly keeps one from full appreciation of the intent.

In reality, the full translation for Adonai is actually "God of the unharvested fields". On a very personal and spiritual level, I find this beautifully poetic, profoundly inspiring and deeply amusing.

Oh, Betty....

Thanks to the genius of Hulu, I was finally able to sit down and watch the Saturday Night Live episode with Betty White as host. Hysterical. See for yourself.

It wasn't to anyone's detriment that about a half-dozen of the finest women from prior SNL casts got involved (the episode had a slight Mother's Day theme), but I have a feeling Betty could have pulled off an epic evening without them. Still...it didn't hurt. That being said, I think a strong case could be made for Tina Fey as the 21st-Century Betty White.
