But I honestly wondered from the Twitter shot whether it might be a beetle. I'm sure the Twitter Betters knew better. Also, too, as well, as it were, if you will: Maybe that washed-up game show host was washed up because he'd been getting ready for game show dinner.

Despite this lower-class background he had risen to middle-class status, studying physics and mathematics at Kazan Imperial University before teaching at the Penza Institute for the Nobility. Ilya married Maria Alexandrovna Blank in mid-1863. Well educated and from a relatively prosperous background, she was the daughter of a German–Swedish woman and a Russian Jewish physician who had converted to Christianity. It is likely that Lenin was unaware of his mother's Jewish ancestry, which was only discovered by his sister Anna after his death. [end of quote from wikipedia]<br /><br />i note that although his mother had jewish ancestry, using the jewish matrilineal concepts, she herself was not jewish, inasmuch as her own mother was not jewish, and thus she could not pass jewish identity down to her descendants<br /><br />not that there's anything wrong with that<br /><br />2)and while we're speaking about religion, allow me to give you the web address of<br /><br />"When Buddhadharma Comes to the West", by Culadasa - <br /><br />http://tinyurl.com/y9whng6o<br /><br />although many or perhaps even most of the western-born contemporary buddhist teachers are of jewish background, to the best of my knowledge culadasa - john yates - is not<br /><br />not that there's anything wrong with thatmistah charley, ph.d.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06303695341246058680noreply@blogger.com
