Hey, as usual when I finally get to my journal I'm too tired and in a hurry to give a full account, but...

Please direct your browsers to this link. Note especially, but not exclusively, the entry titled "The Medinet-Hubbu Cippus."

Wait... pleading!? That's not what happened!

I've submitted (with their permission) a corrected version due to some minor typos, but they haven't put it up yet. Still, if you spot any mistakes, it's fair game to mention them here.

And bonus points if you can explain the pun in the title.

I need your snail mail address, and your shirt size if you wear t-shirts. I have something for you. And some chocolate coins.

I've been calling it a "Rosetta Poem" or "Rosesaretta Stone" ;)

So, are we to presume that this is the pun mentioned....or is it something more erudite?

No, I meant "why Medinet Ḥubbu?"

We had some technical difficulties with that page (I blame Microsoft...) that required that the address change. If you'd like to update your links, you can use either of these:

or http://tinyurl.com/cb68qd

Ack! I had just updated the link the other day too, at least the second time I've done so. That makes this the third--you guys seem to have a lot of trouble with your URLs!
