Biblioblogs April Top 50

May 4, 2009

The April Biblioblog Top 50 has been released, and apparently first century philosopher Philo prophesied about this month’s list:

And I know not if anyone would be able to celebrate the nature of the number seven in adequate terms, since it is superior to every form of expression.1

Hmmm… I wonder who occupies the seventh position in this month’s ratings?

    Hmmmm…

    What number immediately precedes “7″?

    This blog moved up 12 places on the Biblioblog Top 50; 12 is the sum of what two identical numbers?

    The answers, Jake, are 6, 6 and 6: 666!

    In addition, as we all know, “agathos” is the root word of Agatha, as in “Agatha Christie,” the famous mystery writer. Obviously, one choosing the name “agathos” would be interested primarily in obfuscation!

    Also, “agathos” has a passing similarity to “agony,” which Peter warned about:

    Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. (I Peter 5:8, ESV)

    Sounds pretty “agonizing”! (Or should I say “agathizing?) And did you catch that? “Sober-minded!” …but how has “agathos” employed himself in recent years (when not catching pucks in his teeth–another painful venture!)? As a bartender! He doesn’t even deny it, the brazen cur!

    But there’s more! Jesus Himself warned us:

    The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. (John 10:10a)

    See? More pain! Notice, as well, how he further muddies the waters by approving comments like this one? It’s all part of his diabolical plan!

    The true enemy has been exegenating, theophilizing, and generally misleading us all right here! It is not Obama the Beneficent, but Scotteriology‘s own agathos! You, sir, are a very Sneaky Pete, indeed!

    Or… well… maybe it’s Jim West.
