Ben vs Bar





 


I don't know any fictional "Ben"s 




and I wouldn't want to start anything.
But (apparently) Ben and Bar are the same meaning, but from different Languages.

"Son"

"Famous fictional characters named Ben include Judah Ben-Hur from the novel Ben-Hur, a Jewish prince who becomes a charioteer. Another is Ben Grimm (The Thing) from Marvel's Fantastic Four, a superhero whose Jewish identity is a key part of his character. Additionally, Adonah Ben Benjamin is a Jewish banker from the 19th-century novel The Garies and Their Friends. 

OK so what do jews in modern Israel speak?
Google AI has conflicting answers.



I'm guessing that ONE of the AI's was fed bad info (I should have checked, quora or Reddit?)
No one mentioned "aramaic" anymore.
So, uhm, "Hebrew" or something resembling it.
(But I'm totally guessing and wouldn't want to read/write a book about the subject)


I took a quote from somewhere but instead of pasting a snapshot, I did a "ctrl-V" to post the snapshot.
It posted the HTML text instead, with miles of unreadable code.
I apologize. This entry does not merit a rewrite. So it might look funny.

Plus, an unreadable (by me) train of thought about Ireland came through.
If you're into reading tons of text about why people barely tolerate each other, 

Or, listen to a US republican make a speech.


I wonder sometimes why articles appear on the front page of google, 
after the obligatory political-Trumpian news.
Are they so desperate for filler?
I can't deselect politics, no one can.
so I must've chosen super-esoteric stuff Einstein would scratch his head about.




We could make tiny self assembling robots to (__?__) 
And as every sixth grader knows, "conservation of motion" goes bye-bye.
WHUT?!

Do people have fun with Flagellas?



yes,
so maybe that's why the front-page rating
