Septuagint 1, Laptop 0

Hi Everybody!
Yes, I've been absent for a while, and no, CPE didn't totally eat my brain! I'm back and healthy, and already in the throes of my Middler year, Wahoo!

How fitting is it, then, that my triumphant return to the blogosphere is centered around an epic battle. This battle embodies many things, Science vs. Religion, Faith vs. Physics, or more specifically the Septuagint vs. my Laptop.

In this corner, we have my Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Torah!It is used in our Greek class and various other Bible classes. It's a about the size of a double-thick Book of Common Prayer, and has been a lot of fun to page through.

In this corner, we have my laptop. One would think it would be sturdier than my Septuagint, but we've all been wrong once or twice before, haven't we?

What happened was this. I was putting a few books away on a shelf above my desk, and my Septuagint literally flew off the shelf and attacked my laptop! (Well, not literally, but it sure looked dileberate!) The result? I have two keys missing, and a great blue scar running across the lower left corner of my laptop. The book? Not a scratch. That's one tough book of Scripture!!! :)
