Eyewitness Account of Sighting of Jesus Christ
"There lives at this time in Judea, Jesus Christ, whom the barbarians esteem as a prophet, but His followers love and adore Him as the offspring of the immortal high God. He calls the dead from their graves, and heals all sorts of diseases with a word or a touch. He is a tall man and well shaped, of an amiable and reverend aspect. His hair of a colour that can hardly be matched, falling into graceful curls, waving about and very agreeably crouching upon His shoulders, parted on the crown of the head, running as a stream to the front after the manner of the Nazarites. His forehead high, large and imposing; His cheeks a lovely red nose and mouth formed with exquisite symmetry; his beard thick and of a color suitable to the hair and part in in the middle like a fork; His eyes bright blue, blear and serene; look innocent, dignified, manly and mature; His hands and arms most delectable to behold.
"He rebukes with majesty, counsels with mildness; His whole address, whether in word or deed, being eloquent and grave. No man has seen Him laugh, yet his manners are exceedingly pleasant, but he has wept frequently in the presence of men.
"He is temperate, modest and wise - a man for His extraordinary beauty and divine perfections - surpassing the children of men in every sense"
Stunning. Even if it's not authentic, it makes for a stark word picture, rather than an Idol to worship.

Signs 'O The Times; Flatuphobia? Is Farting Better than Cure?
This one from a Mc Donalds tray place mat. This young man marked by the golden circle,
patronised by the Golden Arches, needs to rotate his victory sign 180 degrees. I do, however,
sympathise with the sentiment. Grin...

I Did Not Know I Cared Until....
What You Don't Know About Someone Until They're Gone...
I did not know Steve Irwin. I confess to being one of those people who felt that his persona had to be contrived. This was something I'd believed because I've met some very famous people, and had my preconceptions dashed rather unpleasantly.
With Steve, however, it appears (at least from a close reading of most newspapers this week) that this judgement of mine got rectified far too late. I read about his bizarre, untimely passing in an Australian newsletter called "Crikey" (absolutely true), then the first word which fell out of my mouth was "Crikey". No kidding. I was stunned.
R.I.P. Steve. Of all the people whom I'd expect to die young, you would have been one of the last to come to mind. And now you have passed to a better place (which is my sincere prayer), I'd like to apologise for thinking you were a fake. I've not seen so many Aussies genuinely moved since the death of Donald Bradman - and then again, I think you've knocked him out of the park with this extraordinary reaction to your passing.
Paul Hogan was quoted not so long ago as claiming that the "Ocker" was dead. I don't think so. I think the species came of age with such guys like you - with such joy of life - who put a warm face to what is now a readily-identifiable, quintessential Australian bloke.
I didn't watch too many of your shows, nor do I watch much TV at all. But, as far as celebrities go, no matter what I thought, I don't think anyone could detract from the fact that you were 100% 'fair dinkum.' God bless you mate; and for what it may be worth to Terry and the Kids, my prayers will be with all of you.
We've all lost a truly unique Australian. I'm sorry, Steve: I'll now watch your reruns. What I have seen, I have enjoyed immensely. You've certainly left a treasure trove for me to explore.
Who'd have thought this would happen? God truly takes the best first.

Escape: My Coogee Cove
My Coogee Cove
I remember that beach.
That curly, cut winding beach,
with the crevices and coves at it's edges
upon the rocky ridges of it's points.
Along the strip at Selinas...
Across from dope city,
Rock 'n Roll Paradise.
It washes my pain away.
I sit gazing out to sea
at peace...
It's tiding me clean.
And I go there often
simply
to
sit
still.
And have the roll of the ocean lull over me,
the white peaks of the waves thrash my soul
from the filth of the ghetto of Waterloo,
and lullaby my heart across those oceans
to Home.
Oh good God to go Home...
Perhaps to sleep perchance to dream?
My solace, my cavern, my own Private Idaho.
Mine.
Mine only...
I must go back there soon,
to answer it's call,
then go
Home...
And I shall wonder at it.
I'll let it in and purge me.
It shall flow through the veins to my heart,
and wash me clean and pristine.
Oh my Coogee Cove - Please take me back?
I may die without you.
