    Bruce Mowbray: So far (first week), just Dickinson and Whitman....
    Wol Euler: wow, talk about being thrown in at the deep end
    Bruce Mowbray: They have "inspired" me to ask a question in the Sunday school class....
    Wol Euler listens.
    Bruce Mowbray: Is the "Jesus" portrayed by John's gospel more like Emily Dickinson or like Walk Whitman?
    Bruce Mowbray: ha ha!
    Wol Euler: O.O
    Bruce Mowbray: Walt*
    Bruce Mowbray: sry.
    Wol Euler: well that is a first.
    Bruce Mowbray: yes, I would say it would probably be a 'first.'
    Bruce Mowbray: But it might get themn thiunking a bit...
    Bruce Mowbray: outside the proverbial "box," as they say.
    Bruce Mowbray: also thinking*
    Bruce Mowbray: Right now, I think my typist is voting for Whitman... although Emily is running a close second.
    Bruce Mowbray wonders if they do this sort of think in the "Creativity" course.
    Bruce Mowbray: thing*
    Bruce Mowbray: or, perhaps discuss wild boars (was that in Sweden or Germany?)
    Yakuzza Lethecus: nah, i was just googling for the both
