David Plotz "blogs" the Bible here at Slate.

A blurb touting the contents of the blog: "What's really in the Good Book".

Oh good. I'm glad somebody finally figured that out.

Sitings

Five reasons I didn't post today:

5. Spent whole day trying to smoke a salmon. Much harder to keep lit than a Camel.
