Yep I'm a nerd. I embrace it. hey, I didn't spend that much time craming Greek and Hebrew in my head not to use it for important things, like unlocking meaning in the very word of God or coming up with cool blog names.

hebrew and it's importance to cartoons

Seth and I have been watching Futurama (oh the joys of TiVo) and Hebrew is ALL OVER THE PLACE. it's hilarious, when they want to have "alien writing" they use Hebrew, and it actually (kinda) says stuff. in one show, they crashed a bot mitzvah, that would be a bar mitzvah for robots, and there was a sign that said "this is the day of the robot" and yes robot was spelled out in Hebrew letters. In another show about the origins of Slurm, they're version of Mountain Dew, they were buying Slurm T-shirts and, you guessed it, Slurm was in Hebrew letters. Wow, I'm glad my education is good for something.
