Humor my humours : fun an' games with the SBL ::
Paul Nikkel - at Deinde - has a nice touch with his piece offering glittering prizes for the best paper titles from this year's SBL programme. Categories include an "Award For Transgressive Punctuation". In view of two contestants in Paul's "Keeping it Real" category:
Embracing Wonderland: Chasing Gnosticism Down the 'Rabbit Hole' of The Matrix (Ross E. Winkle)
John’s Apocalyptic Matrix: Violence and Virtual Reality Ancient and Modern (Jon Paulien)
I'd offer an award for the classic cult pop-cultural item that is most often mentioned in SBL paper titles!
Since I shall not be able to be there, there was the added joy of NOT reading just to see if my title was mentioned - though if you ARE listed he poromises a real prize!
