So Zipporah took a flint, cut off her son's foreskin, and threw it at Moses' feet. Then she said, "You are a bridegroom of blood to me!" Exodus 4:25

Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. Genesis 19:32

He that is wounded in the stones or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord. Deuteronomy 23:1

Yet she became more and more promiscuous as she recalled the days of her youth, when she was a prostitute in Egypt. There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. Ezekiel 23:19-20

Good review of massive MoMA exhibition of one of Germany's greatest artists in the last hundred years. http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2014/apr/17/alibis-sigmar-polke-moma-exhibition-review

"...Nobody can deny that Belgium has a rich history of art. From the Middle Ages to the Twentieth Century, Belgians have been at the forefront of the art world. Names such as Reubens, Breughel, Magritte and Van Eyck are practically household names. Well there is another name that should be added to that list: Wim Delvoye. "'Who?' You might ask. Well to provide a little bit of background, Wim Delvoye is a Belgian neo-conceptual artist who “is involved in a way of making art that re-orients our understanding of how beauty can be created”. His most famous piece is a 'comment on the Belgians’ love of fine dining' which, obviously in Belgium, means a machine that makes poo. I’m not sure what made Wim wake up one morning and decide 'what the world needs is a machine that makes poo'. Anyway, the poo machine – or 'Cloaca' as Wim prefers to call it – is a real thing and apparently he even sells the “smelly” turds for $1,000 each." “Cloaca” in motion http://pethatesblog.wordpress.com/2013/04/19/belgium-the-country-that-cant-take-a-joke/

And there is the core philosophy of this site. Enacted not only in the resources devoted to site development, maintenance & operation, but also in management's attitude and behavior in moderation/governance of these forums. All deeply appreciated by those who contribute, participate, and benefit here. Spoken by one who has the check to prove it.

And that's without even seeing how we behave in the POOPthreads.

"I'll tell you. You're young, but you're one of us, and I'm one of us, so I'll tell you. Everything. Now, say someone's one of us. . . but he's also—you know—you can tell, right?" "He's not—one of us," I said. "Right! You can tell! But sometimes—you can't tell. You think someone's one of us, but they got to him and then he wasn't any more—and then we got to him, and he was—but he still has to look like he isn't, that is, like he only looks like he is! But they get wise to him and—now he isn't again, but he has to look like he isn't—or we'll get wise—and that's a triple!"
