A while back I had mentioned something about a sign outside my hometown that says, "Jesus is king of Cuero"...I shit you not, here it is:

Well, how about that? He's really moving down in the world. First he's king of the universe, then world, now just a little town. Who did he piss off?

And what an exciting place it looks to be king of at that. I think it suits him

I was under the impression he was the Prince of Peace. I thought daddy's job was to be king?
I would post a sign in response: "Satan is De Fuhrer of Cuero."

I dunno if either of you play Unreal Tournament in any of its recent incarnations, but when you blow up a Redeemer, an announcer voice informs you in the same manner, and that'd be the voice I read Susan's response in.

Really? I've never understood why they have so many different variations of "the" and have never taken the time to study when to use which one. Do you know?
De
Die
Der
Den
Das
derjenige
dasjenige
diejenige
.... Any more?

. The German language is quite complex. Even after living for more than 7 years in Germany, I am still struggling with the grammar. BTW: "De" is not German, it is Dutch (Nederlands) and what is missing is in your list is "Des".Quote from: "Wikipedia"German nouns inflect into:
- one of three genders: masculine, feminine, or neutral.
- one of four cases: nominative, genitive, dative, and accusative.
- two numbers; singular and plural

Quote from: "karadan"Wasn't there written in the bible that we were all sheep and that Jesus was a lamb or something? Lambs are cute, so maybe that is why Jesus is special.Quote from: "Hitsumei"Well, he was suppose to be king of the Jews, but look how that turned out...

Quote from: "karadan"It's cause He was sinless. He died for our sins without having committed one Himself. Plus that whole He is God thing.Quote from: "Hitsumei"Well, he was suppose to be king of the Jews, but look how that turned out...

I reckon the part where jesus rolled a phatty and shared it with Mary Magdalene was omitted from the bible because it would go against the sin thing - sharing something with a woman, that is.
