«I asked him [Dalai Lama] the most important question that I think you could ask - if he had ever seen Caddy Shack.»

«And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? / Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.»
«And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? / And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.»
«SACRED, adj. Dedicated to some religious purpose; having a divine character; inspiring solemn thoughts or emotions; as, the Dalai Lama of Thibet; the Moogum of M'bwango; the temple of Apes in Ceylon; the Cow in India; the Crocodile, the Cat and the Onion of ancient Egypt; the Mufti of Moosh; the hair of the dog that bit Noah, etc.All things are either sacred or profane. The former to ecclesiasts bring gain; The latter to the devil appertain. --Dumbo Omohundro»
