    My Provacative Story

    For a school assignment, I wrote a short-story (I will not give many details, as I may wish to publish it eventually later in life :)) within a universe I've created, taking place in the relatively distant future. The short-story was a mystery about the main character, a human scientist on a...

    What's so bad about tradition?

    I've been on this forum for a few months, and have been on this earth for almost nineteen years, and I have continually, in both places, run into this idea people put out that tradition is a bad thing, that it is inappropriate or unacceptable in modern society, and what have you. My question...

    Well? I personally like mostly Folk, primarily songs in the British Folk tradition (i.e., Anglo-Canadian, Scottish, Irish, etc.), but I also like certain songs in other groups. Of course, it goes without saying I also love Jewish Folk music and derivations thereof. Also, I like Weird Al...

    A Friendly Wargame - Diplomacy

    Well, I've tried this on a forum before, but it collapsed due to players dropping out, failing to submit orders, etc. Diplomacy is a game made by Allan Calhamer in the 1950s. It simulates a world around World War I, but it is not a simulator of that war. It has been called "seven-player...

It is difficult to tell in translation, since most translators prefer to go for more literal translations over an attempt to style it as poetry, especially since traditional Hebrew poetry is, rather than based on rhythm and...
