A couple nights ago, the router fried.
It was a Lynksys, plain jane-o little wonder that made me wireless.
Well, it went quick and without warning.

The router I got is also a Lynksys, and it is an E1200 Wireless N300 router.
The question I have is why would it take forever to load web pages? It takes almost 20 to 25 seconds for a long thread (here) to fully load, and it's choppy. (Yahoo takes about as long too.) It takes a little longer here when I post a reply. I have cable internet. Supposed to be blazin fast, but atm is tortoise sloooooooow.
It isn't just the computer acting weird too. iPod touches load their gamey little apps twice as slow and the xbox 360 wouldn't connect when family tried to play CoD.
:(

I thought it was a joke until I found the article.
imo, that is a very disrespectful thing to do to a beloved animal friend.
We have home funerals if one of ours pass. Making a toy out of a dead pet bespeaks to me of a troubled mind that could do such a thing...

Never mind God, do you know there is no reliable scientific archaeology evidence that King David existed.


There may be. One never knows when dealing with unravelling mysteries that are thousands of years old with languages no one really speaks, let alone really can understand.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avraham_Biran
In 1966, Avraham Biran began the project with which he has been most famously identified: the excavations at Tel Dan in northern Israel, where he dug for more than 30 years. The 5,000-year-old "Tel" is a mound formed by layer-upon-layer of remnants from civilizations that once occupied the site.

In the Tel, Biran discovered the largest religious site ever found that dates from the Israelite period. The excavations revealed fragments from the period when the Cannanite settlement of Laish was re-settled by the Israelite tribe of Dan, although this point is based on the Bible and no evidence has proven this. Dating from the earlier period of the patriarchs, Biran excavated an arched gate, as well as a tremendous dirt wall that surrounded the city.

Biran also found artifacts from the period of the Jewish monarchy – the city's defenses, walls and gates as well as the High Places of the Gate mentioned in the Bible. Biran's most important discovery at the Tel was an inscription on a slab of basalt, known as the Tel Dan Stele, that consists of 13 lines in ancient Canaanite script that mention The House of David. Regarding the significance of this inscription Hebrew University archaeologist Professor Amnon Ben-Tor said:[3]

In this inscription, which dates to around 800 BCE, Biran believe that a king from the House of David is mentioned as being struck down in the battle with the Arameans. This is the only extra-Biblical source ever found to date that mentions the existence of the Davidic dynasty and it indeed is an extra-Biblical source that confirms the existence of David as a real historical figure. During the last few years a number of English and Scandinavian researchers have published works suggesting that the kingdoms (and figures) of David and Solomon are literary inventions rather than historical facts.


If anything it adds spice to converstation. What if, what if not.

Who said 10 months to a year, Chris?!?
The lines is "40 days and 40 nights ...".
Not that that makes the story true or untrue, either. But I do not recall any version of the story where it stretched 10-12 months.


Noah and his family were in the ark for about 370 days (by calculations of the author of the source). Below is a breakdown, which might also help answer your question if you were only wanting to know how long the earth was covered with water.

His answer was based on adding these numbers together:

40 --the number of days it rained (Gen 7:17)
110 --the number of days "the waters prevailed on the earth" (Gen 7:24)
73 -the number days the waters "decreased" ( Gen 8:4,5)
40 --assuming "end of forty days" followed the previous 73 days (Gen 8:6)
7 --days waiting for the dove to return
7--days waiting for the second time he sent out the dove
7 --days waiting till he sent out the third dove
29 --days needed to finish out "601 year, 1st month, 1st day" (Gen 8:13)
57 --days needed to finish out "2nd month, 27th day, the earth was dried"
____
370 Days
Then God told them to leave the ark (Gen 8:15,16)

I am not fluent in bible speak, but I think his math is flawed, but mebbe not. I think he counted 40 twice, I don't know. Removing that 40, that's 330 days and that's about 10.5 months...

It could have been a global event, because many civilizations have mythological stories involving floods. What if they were all retellings of an older great flood?

Here is a compilation of flood legends that have a similar ring to the story of Noah.
