Admittedly he is from Glasgow so would have to be about 4 foot 2 before he could earn a soubriquet based on being diminutive.

Sanders' first name is PharOAH, not PharAOH (I just noticed this).

I think Sanders first name was originally Farell and Pharoah started off as a nicknmae

- some people can't be changed or fixed, don't bother trying- 5 cent candy schemes are easy. Walk up to the counter, say you got like 1.50 - they will say "that's 30 candies". While they're not looking or busy, throw in an extra 5-20

That a groundnut = a peanut. So groundnut oil, which I regularly cook with, is peanut oil. Had no idea.

A nickname given to him by Sun Ra. When Sanders first arrived in NYC his nickname was "Little Rock," because he was from Arkansas.

that the immaculate conception refers to the conception _mary_. i was in my 40s when i learned that.
― Hunt3r, Wednesday, 11 July 2018 18:48 (five years ago) link
"of _mary_"
however the immaculate collection is of _the_ madonna iirc

Did not know. But you could fill a Bible with what I don't know about Christianity.
― This Casserole is Divine! (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 11 July 2018 19:07 (five years ago) link
wait what?i thought the immaculate conception was about the conception of JESUS within the body of Mary (the immaculate heart of)mary herself was conceived immaculately?
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Wednesday, 11 July 2018 20:55 (five years ago) link
that doesn't sound right at all
I think the idea is that the 'vessel' that bore Christ had to be without original sin, so Mary was born sinless to bear Him.

Xtianity is bizarre
i thought it just meant the conception of jesus was done without sin (filthy horrifying sinful human sexual activity) not that she was born "pure"are you serious?

wowwell i'm glad i decided at age 7 that christianity/catholicism wasn't for me -- at least it didn't take me forever to learn that
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Wednesday, 11 July 2018 21:07 (five years ago) link
tbh there is no age I have been at where I haven't learned some bit of catholic minutiae that has blown my mind
it's a heck of an institution and swarm of beliefs

feel like i really should have known that too, but i didn't
otoh i'm not catholic, and it's really silly

There's a lot of lore around the birth of the messiah that maybe hasn't traveled down the centuries. Joseph is made a lot more 3dimensional in medieval lore from what i've seen. Seems to have a backstory that show's him to be an old man or middle aged which turns up in folk songs etc.
& various heresies came up about how sacred exactly Christ and his mother were appeared and caused rifts in the church that needed to be sorted out.
― Stevolende, Wednesday, 11 July 2018 22:59 (five years ago) link
tbh the immaculate conception thing is a really convoluted dive into the “humans are born with sin” thing and leads to some really dumb and philosophical questions, like: are miscarried babies in hell or purgatory, because they weren’t baptized! wait, do we think purgatory is real now? and is there a limbo, because purgatory sounds harsh so maybe there’s another thing toorecent popes have weighed in with stances like “hmm, maybe”

it's almost as if insisting on the literal reality of a single ludicrous impossibility has extensive implications that require all sorts of mental gymnastics

honestly I think very few of the clergy give a shit and it’s mostly really pedantic parishioners bugging them with questions “do you think jesus had a boat?”“uh he was a carpenter but lived inland and uh... ask the bishop”
