1. - It looks like someone in Dyersburg, TN hasn’t been listening to Bob Barker. Apparently they have a stray donkey problem. It’s stuff like this that makes it interesting to live in Tennessee. No owner has come forward to claim the donkey, so if you live in the Dyersburg area, hey, free donkey.
2. - A sushi wedding cake. Is that cilantro? Ew!
3. - Are unicorns in the Bible? Apparently only in the King James Version, every other translation seems to refer to them as wild oxen. But that doesn’t stop the idiots at Answers in Genesis from rambling on at length about the subject.
4. - It looks like Jon Lajoie has a new friend.

Wow… unicorns. Does that mean Pegasus was real, too?

In Spanish clash I always had a problem translating eat and run. I always get Comer and Corer confused. I supposed that means my mouth has bipedal locomotion too?
Is it so difficult to consider that Unicorn was the closest word the translators could think of?
Always so quick to insult, when really you should try using your brain for a few minutes.

The point here is that the some numbskull at AIG spent a lot of time and effort dreaming up that article about how we shouldn’t mock god’s special creature, the unicorn. From the article:
In actuality it all comes down to a translation issue at best. I mean, we are talking about translations of translations of ancient stories that were probably passed down in verbal form before ever being written down. To just assume that unicorns are real because some asshat committee in the 1600s wrote them into the Bible doesn’t make them real or “true in every detail.”

I once saw a large dog in front of a car with 4 old guys riding with me. One of them called it a wolf.
The “Wolf” was real. In order to understand what is meant by the words true in every detail you must understand what it means is true.
Because the name of something, or the name of a place has changed, or the idea, or the term, or even scientific principle has changed, does not make something written down at a certain time less true.

I also take issue with your disrespectful reference to that committee. Without them, you would be living in Christendom.

I’m not really sure I get that wolf analogy. I’m also aware that names change over time. The author spent quite a bit of effort justifying the use of the term unicorn for no good reason. He could have just as easily chalked the unicorn up to a mistranslation as it seems is most likely the case given that almost all other translations have it as wild oxen.
Also, please elaborate on your second statement about me living in Christendom. It was confusing as well.
