Frank and Ernest by Thaves for November 08, 2009

That’s just what you would expect of twits.

Amen.

I see Herodotus with the abacus. Galileo with the telescope. Newton with the apple. Edison with the light bulb. Bell with the telephone. Gutenberg with the printing press. Albert Einstein is talking but who are the other ones. Thaves is trying to educate us again.

And my mother said it was a waste of time to read the funny’s!

James Watt with a steam engine in the back. the Chinese person (name unknown) with the compass, probably invented around 210 B.C. I’m guessing the guy with the hoe represents the invention of agriculture. Upper left is the invention of the wheel and geometry.

Possibly Archemedes with the protractor and triangle.

I see that Bell is the only one without a halo. I guess that was why he was always saying ‘Hello, hello?”.

Well done, Mr. Thaves. Well done.

Great comments today! I concur…

Spirit creatures do not have material bodies with literal wings, faces, hands, feet, or other body parts.

We usually depict angels with wings because of the symbolic descriptions found in the Bible.

There are 2 ranks of angels in the bible Seraphs and Cherubs.

Angels seen in visions did not always look the same. The seraphs that Isaiah saw had six wings. (Isaiah 6:1, 2)

Ezekiel saw cherubs that had but two faces, one of a man and the other of a lion with wings. (Ezekiel 1:5-11

Above the Ark (and its lid) in Solomon’s temple stood two larger gold-covered cherubs, each having two outstretched wings.—1 Kings 8:6-8

As someone pointed out recently, the original Star Trek postulated communicators the size of a deck of cards that you could flip open and speak to people. We now have cell phones that do that–and also access the internet, tell where you are on the planet, send text messages, play games, etc. Science fiction has been surpassed by real life!
