In her new diary, Anne Strieber writes: “I was thinking the other day about what a really FUNNY book the Bible is. I’ve always thought that people take it MUCH too seriously! Because they stick to the flowery King James version, instead of more modern translations, they miss the wonderfully ironic sense of humor that Jesus and the New Testament writers had (The quotations below are from The Unvarnished New Testament by Andy Gaus, which is my favorite modern translation).

A weed called switchgrass makes the best biofuel. BBC News reports that “switchgrass-derived ethanol produced 540% more energy than was required to manufacture the fuel.” What is this extraordinary plant and where do we find it? It turns out it?s growing wild on the prairies of the United States.
