because it’s the only topic left to discuss.

Maybe that’s why they jump when they say ????? ???? ????? ??, just in case he’s actually on the moon.

You seem to understand that ?? is referring to the moon. I heard about one rabbi who stopped saying that phrase once Neil Armstrong (allegedly) landed on the moon. However, I think pashut p’shat is that it’s referring to Hashem. Who dances to the moon?

showjoe, I just meant, like is that even something you must take into consideration? Not being able to say k”l? Maybe… it just sounds funny (acc. to many, k”l is a birchas haro’eh, so lichorah there’s no problem in making yourself unable to be m’kayyeim it)

CY, didn’t get your last post

showjoe: are you serious that one of the problems of being on the moon is kiddush l’vana?

Harry was having an awesome dream, with fun and laughter and everything. Suddenly Voldemort appeared and got all preachy. He woke up with (his scar hurting and) a stomachache. He wondered if perhaps it was because he drank chalav s’tam milk the day before. He went to go ask Flitwik for a charm to cure it. He knocked on the gryffin, which asked him “is it heresy to ask which came first, the pheonix or the flame?”

“What do you mean,” said Harry. “How can a question be heresy?” “Debatable,” said the gryffin, but allowed him access anyway. Flitwik said he didn’t know any good charms for stomachaches; Harry had to go to the hospital.

“But I can’t step into Maimonides,” said Harry. “It’s so disrespectful that they named a hospital that.”

He pondered his predicament and decided to go back in time and not drink the milk, but the whole time travel doesn’t make any sense, and anyway in the present he already had a stomachache and he couldn’t make it go away. UnBumping the thread about chalav s’tam didn’t help, and Harry didn’t know how to make himself vomit.

He decided to go out and RUN MOVE GO which had proven remedies (and maybe he’d also find his meds) but first he had to get his hat. Thing is, it was a chillul hashem to wear a hat that was worn by an apostate. But then he remembered Kingsley’s words echoing in his ears: She wouldn’t care if he wore the hat.

He obligingly put on his hat and left. But it was so windy that his hat kept flying off. Too bad he didn’t have a shtreimel.

The walk didn’t help; it just made his trousers, or perhaps breeches, rip.

He did a serious cheshbon hanefesh and wondered if maybe there would have been smoke alarms, his whole stomachache would have been avoided. Yes! That was it. He should go to Fallsburg, where they have smoke alarms. Anyone know what they’re learning there next z’man? He zapped his tissues into thin air and packed his bags.

Now everyone’s going to complain that I shouldn’t make a joke out of such a serious matter. what a half-crazy world.

No the story is that he induced vomiting–it could be that the milk was curdled and then his doctor told him curdled milk isn’t healthy so he made himself regurgitate.

Why does “Hashem doesn’t [do] anything for nothing” = “the world can’t survive without that thing being done”?

you’rew going to Fallsburg after getting s’micha?

All the things which one shouldn’t do because that’s what they do by a meis, (my friend’s question–) why don’t the cut the meis’s fingernails out of order, etc., and let everyone else cut it normally?

mw13: I didn’t check up the eiliyah rabbah, but the MB quotes it from him.

a circle has no beginning (just wondering if that “apt analogy” was yours or you got it from HP) but that has nothing to do w/ a chicken (or phoenix) and an egg. a chicken and egg is a straight line. The question is where the line started.

I don’t understand what it means that a circle has no beginning, anyway. Why not?

Most people don’t write on the resume what they’re looking for; whoever redds the shidduch should be able to inform the other side.

Nowadays, I think it makes more sense to boycott Danish and French products than German.

Whatever you do, DON’T self-medicate EVER.

sam2: oh. lol. sorry, I misread that.

ubiquitin I’m not sure which way I was arguing, either.

Chofetz Chaim & Bais yoseif don’t count because they mean something; it’s not their name

(Chasan sofer does count because even though it’s not his name it doesn’t mean much)

But anyway I don’t think these are analogous because it’s more like saying Yeshivas lizichron (or that was established by) Rabeinu… not like wines which is more like a tiltle

(OK, so you’re going to say that that’s what you meant here

http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/why-are-so-many-wine-bottles-named-after-rishonim#post-562691

but the truth is I meant ra”e like a title, not like a lz”n. Hope you followed me; I’m not sure how much sense I’m making.)

There’s also yeshivas RJJ.

The whole cr is a bunch of letters to the editor. <sigh>

sam2, king david wasn’t a tanna.

that’s like naming a shul R’ Akiva Eiger because ra”e was a rav.

sponsor s’udas sh’lishis in shul this week

I always had the same question. Weird name for a wine.

And Alfasi? That’s also a wine name?

I think you’re a bit overboard, sirvoddmort. “Ruin it for everyone”? by making you have to bump the thread you want? Slightly annoying, perhaps, but seriously, chill.

I once successfully killed a moth by turning off the light. It had been buzzing around the bulb, and now, since it couldn’t see, it flew touched the bulb and got burnt. I’ve done repeat experiments, though, and didn’t have repeat results.
