linky.

Kristine or Kathryn must have written this. It was both very cool, and hilarious! I can't wait to see OSC talking person now! [Big Grin] [Laugh] [Big Grin]

Not telling us is just mean Rivka. Just like if I didn't tell you you had a big spider on your head, that would be mean.

I was waiting for someone to ask nicely. [Big Grin]

Or just figure it out, since the Hebrew, with its English equivalent, shows up in an earlier pic.

C'mon, what do you expect the podium in a hotel ballroom to say?

See, the funny Hebrew is in the pic with the book covers.

I still haven't figured out what 'KiSeNoSa"D' means. And while "tzel" means shadow, it took me awhile to decode "hegemon" in Hebrew. [Big Grin]

Of course, that's not as funny as posting after, before.

Or is that before, after?

I didn't know OSC wrote the insults for Monkey Island...

that just proves...OSC is the coolest.

And I still don't know what the podium says. Is it taken from the book titles?

Is it "Cinemateque Tel Aviv" ?

Is Hebrew read from right to left like Arabic?

Yeah, I think it's funny that they told him it was funny.

I think that 'KiSeNoSa"D' is Xenocide. That took me a while too.

not only is it read left to right, but also bottom to top. so a paragraph looks upside-down in it's alignment.
