I guess under that metaphor I could say I suffer from Irritable bowel syndrome. Have you ever been accused of being DA P.I.?

Most Windows operating systems come with MS word and unless you change it's settings it will capitalize the first letter of every line. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt.
Have you read "Niether Snow"? I like it. It reminds me of driving in Pennsylvania.

The poems fine but unless you're gay avoid refering to your dick as your cock in poetry. It makes you sound gay.

Almost perfect. Line 8 is slightly different but I like your interpretation. Your line 7 and 3 is missing one word. Otherwise some damn impressive deduction on your part.

Your honor, St. Peter. I bring you exhibit A: Silent Night by Dovina. The prosecution now rests it's case.
"Wholly night" as in completely night is a weak line.
Even Dan Brown would be walking on eggshells around this one. Your showing some guts and that gets you a "You go girl" from me.

Correction: The mystery lady did use perfume after washing his feet with tears and drying them with her hair.

I thought it was with tears she anointed his feet and I don't think the original says if that was Mary Magdalene or not. It does say he cured Magdalene of evil spirits and infirmities. Pretty much all the Gospels are purported. The Gnostics were the Spocks of the Christian sects, all about logic. I think its great that Mary's Gospel is the most logic based. It's a good message to women. To not let emotions fog your thinking. How can you not adore her now? She's an elevated version of you.
The idea of a married Christ was done much better, much more original and much more feasibly in The Last Temptation of Christ.
I think Dan Brown has more respect for cheap gimmicks than for women. I hope to see the rise of the church of St. Mary Magdalene.

Boy, Zodiac's gonna have no competition on this one. Try doubling up the syllables in some of the words by doubling the vowel sounds.
Wildman= Wi/i/i/ld/man= Why/ high/ eye/ old/ man. See?
It's suppose to force you to read it the way it would sound if it were sung to generic indian music.

That's the best interpretation of the undecoded version of cryptic poem I've ever read. You know I do miss the old fart. Him and Bethy. She's somewhere singing to the robins in the trees and he's throwing his rock sculptures at them.

No. The legacy of Da Vinci and Jesus have endured some pretty outrageous blasphemy and from what I've read and seen in documentaries I'd say The Da Vinci Code falls somewhere near the credibility of Hudson Hawk. I hear the movie's coming out anyway. So for entertainment purposes it might be worthwhile.
As far as Mary Magdalene goes I think it could be any one of the many theories of who she really was, but the reason I linked you is because this is testament supposedly written by a woman. I like the idea of an equal oppertunity Jesus. I think all women should read this even if only for the sense of validation in the bible.

About the movie: If it's any consolation, I'd download it off Kazaa and watch it.

You're on track. L4 is the weakest by far. If your interpretation sounds better than the original then I may lie and adopt it as my own.

Did you read the lyrics? Have you seen the show? It's about a weakling who suddenly has superpowers thrusted on to him and he has no idea what to do with them. It's a comedy. It ends with "believe it or not it's just me". I was trying to say he's not a superhero but has been forced into being portrayed as one.
I didn't mean to break a golden rule. Just thought you'd get a chuckle out of it.

You do realize you're saying you understand what goes on in Dovina's mind and more importantly you're not disgusted.

"The Islam movie is going to be pure visually-stunning plotless ensemble drama. Maybe unfortunately. ":
Call it a satire and they'll proclaim you "the ultimate supernatural hero" genius.
Here's the greatest poetry ever written about Jesus:

Think of that generic indian music you hear in old westerns (Nahhh-nah-nana-nah-nahhh) and then try reading the poem out loud to that rhythm, then listen for the hidden words.

Thanks. This was inspired by the cleverly cryptic "r-p-o-p-h-e-s-s-a-g-r" poem by Cummings.
Line 4 is a bit of a stretch. The 1st word of L4 is "Increased".
The 1st word of line 5 is "So".
Hope that helps a little.
