such a power move to start the hymn Jerusalem with "and". All these other hymns are like "ooh hallelujah" and "ahh almighty" but Jerusalem's just like "WE'RE MIDWAY THROUGH A CONVERSATION ABOUT ANCIENT FEET. GET ON BOARD"

God is my witness that this took place. One day we were guests in a certain village and the Circassian who was our host wished to do a good deed. He went outside where he tarried a while. When he returned he brought a dinner-spread made of elk" skin, also a wooden trough like a small vault or portico (latif ravak gibi)full of honey and other troughs with cheese and basia. "Eat, O guests, may it be permitted, for health of my father soul," he said. We were starving, as though we had just been released from Ma'noğlu's prison, and we laid into the honey so fast that our eyes could not keep up with our hands.
But the honey was full of strange hairs which we kept pulling out of our mouths and placing on the spread. "Eat," said the Circassian, "this my father honey." Our hunger having abated, we continued to eat the honey at a slower pace, separating out the hairs.
Meanwhile Ali Can Bey, a native of Taman in the Crimea, came in. "What are you eating, Evliya Efendi?" he said.
"Join us," I replied. "It's a kind of hairy honey. I wonder if it was
stored in a goatskin or a sheepskin."
Ali Can, who knew Circassian, asked our host where the honey came from. The Circassian broke out weeping. "I took from my father grave," he said. I understood the words, but didn't quite grasp the import.
Ali Can explained: "Last month his father died and he placed the corpse in a box on a branch of the big tree in the courtyard outside.
Honeybees colonized the area around the groin and penis. Now, as a special favor, he has offered you honey with his father's pubic hairs.
These are the hairs you have been separating out while cating the honey."3" Ali Can said this and went out.
I followed him, with my gorge rising and my liver fairly bursting.
"What kind of trick has this pimp of an infidel played on us?" I cried.
Then what should I sce? Our Circassian host also came out, climbed up the tree where his father was and refastened the lid of the coffin-box, all the while weeping and eating the horr…

There have even been studies to determine the effectiveness of prayer. For example, the Study of the Therapeutic Effects of Intercessory Prayer (STEP) randomly allocated over 1,800 cardiac bypass patients into three groups: patients in Groups 1 and 2 were prayed for and not prayed for, respective-ly, but did not know which was the case, while Group 3 knew they were being prayed for. The only apparent effect was a small increase in complications in the group that knew they were being prayed for: one of the researchers commented, It may have made them uncertain, wondering, "Am I so sick they had to call in their prayer team?

Measuring happiness is hard, whereas deciding whether someone is alive or dead should be more straightforward: as the examples in this book will demonstrate, survival and mortality is a common concern of statistical science. But in the US each state can have its own legal definition of death, and although the Uniform Declaration of Death Act was introduced in 1981 to try to establish a common model, some small differences remain. Someone who had been declared dead in Alabama could, at least in principle, cease to be legally dead were they across the state border in Florida, where the registration must be made by two qualified doctors?

Reactionaries' calls of 'decline' is just the mirror to leftists' invocations of state illegitimacy in that both serve to open the state to looting.
