There was some pretty good content in there. Some of the interviews were truly exceptional, as were some of the articles and stories. I have to agree with Coelcanth.

Honest. Back in the early years of Playboy they were paying twice the per word rate for fiction than any other magazine. Ginsberg was a contributor, Kerouac often wrote for them and Shel Silverstein did many comics. Yup, naked flesh sold the magazines but some of that profit was funneled back into getting great writers.

There were many other enumerations before and after his work. However, in complete contradiction of myself: The gematria of תורה (Torah)is 611. But if we remember, when Moses transmited the Torah to us, two commandments came directly from HaShem. So, adding those, you come up with 613. So, I guess, technically, it is gematria. Ok, this had absolutely nothing to do with the article. I just didn't have anything useful to say about Playmates. 613 mitzvot is not gematria (I don’t think) as Maimonides compiled the list, its not exactly laid out in Torah like that.

But I won't do that. You guys probably know that those pictures are fantasy art and not anywhere near realism, and that by their being portrayed as real they cast in men the idea of ideal human form and women in turn feel societal pressure to conform to this ideal which is both almost always unattainable and completely superficial, thus creating a society obessesed with outward appearance. So there's no need for me to lecture, since you already know all that.

On behalf of another group, not the Mormons at all. I dunno. Yeah, we like warm blood, within marriage. Let's have 613 weddings. When is the beach free, at sunset? With bare feet, and little candles on the tables? Moshe took his shoes off... Don't forget the mantilla. Some people think the public is being softened up to not mind polygamy.

I am hoping that they'll build up some kind of supernatural undertones with the Prophet, because I'm always into that kind of weirdness.

HBO has rarely disappointed me in the past. however, aside from Ginnifer Goodwin and Jeanne Tripplehorn, who are always excellent, i'm not loving it. and the latest HBO movie, Walkout, was really boring and didn't do justice to the subject matter. i had high hopes for Big Love.
