I googled a gaggle of geese (and am bored)

New Google searches!

"picture of jesus hugging someone"
"good burger Nickelodeon movies" (I'm a bit embarrassed about this one)
"dale mail"
"define the difference between divinity and theology" (you're in the wrong place, soldier)
"coffee hour"
"bowchickabowow definition"

By the way, this is some of the paid advertisements on the bottom of a google search for "yale divinity school":

Is anyone else a little unnerved by that?

Update: Oh, some poor soul googled "getting laid yale" and ended up here. How sad... (but hilarious!)

Google me this

Since I'm out-of-state and pining away for my divvies, I thought I'd compile a list of different Google searches people have done that have brought them to OH@YDS.

[any professor] + yale divinity school
tootsie roll lyrics meaning
quote on patriarchal society
graduation from yale divinity school thoughts
jake erickson and yale
beer theology
how hard get into yale divinity school
rudy darcy
lindsey theologian yale (my personal favorite)
meaning of tootsie roll
"german pop" blogspot

Added:
rock paper scissors meaning

By the way, is there some song called "Tootsie Roll" that I don't know about because I'm hopelessly out of touch with mainstream music?

Congratulations YDS Class of '08!



Nobody puts YDS grads in the corner! You're all Baby and everybody else is the awkward sister... We'll be cool one day. I'm not sure who Patrick Swayze is. Maybe Dale Peterson.

Anyway, congratulations!

Feel free to send in any overheards during the summer. Other than that, have a nice time off and try not to think too much about source criticism or eschatology.
