And you expected anything different from HuggyBear?

Whatever, Khem. Do you even do bees? 😛

Nope...turns out there;s an elaborate fantasy complex underpinning and facilitating that.  Fuckin turtles alllllll the way down.  Wink

Headstone of the corner, hugs.  It's actually a brilliant metaphor. I don't see why you're compelled to butcher it on behalf of pyramidiocy.

It;s the part of the rubble construction that ties two intersecting walls together and it's instrumental in the structural support of all those other rocks. You know....like our lord and savior. The passage expresses that a uniquely capable stone had been cast into the rubble, but that it would now be used to build a great and strong building. While this may sound like esoterica to the modern reader..it was common knowledge at the time of the narratives composition. Literary competency at it's finest.

You'll find alot more of that sort of imagery in magic book..constantly going on about pillars and great beams. They're not planning houses. Magic book isn't a site schematic........or a treatise on doors.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

'Head stone' not 'headstone'

Quote:Psalm 118

22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.

Since you admit that head means 'top', why can't you figure out that verse is speaking of a 'capstone' as I put it earlier?

Okay Huggy.  You're right.  Magic book is a treatise on pyramid construction. Meanwhile...the headstone is at the bottom...even though we call it a headstone.

I know, I know, it's confusing.

Maybe you should write a letter to the editor of your bible? They got that translation all wrong. The original must have been about capstones and pyramidiocy.

It's not confusing at all for those with an adequate reading comprehension level...

you seem to be the one conflating 'headstone' with 'head stone'. You do realize a space  between the words means they are separate right?

This conversation couldn't go any other way with a dude rockin a mullet.

Right, right, like I already said...it;s not a brilliant metaphor that would have seemed at once numinous and entirely grounded in common experience..it;'s a treatise on doors.

Now how do you and I go about getting magic book redacted in order to more accurately convey what it meant to say, there, and anywhere else such imagery was employed?

Can you explain for me the difference between "headstone" and "head stone"?

And shame on you for shaming his rocking mullet.

Headstone is a compound word which has a different meaning.

It's the same difference as for instance  "blackbird" and "black bird", one is the name of a species of bird, and the other is describing a bird that is black.

"head stone" means a stone at the head or at the top, on other words 'capstone'...

I notice how Khemikal won't admit he was wrong though...

See that movie "blackbird"?
