Blaugust 2/31: The Book of the Beginning of the World

This post represents my second of a proposed 31 posts for Blaugust. It's never too late to start.

So...hey! Did you see this thing when it happened to the internet?

Randall Munroe is responsible for a lot of things, through belated stumbling across the idea of geohashing, yours truly met some great people, almost died in the Australian wilderness, started blogging, and first stumbled upon that perpetual stumbling block that is Puzzle Hunts. So, when another xkcd idea went a little silly on the internet, the gang belatedly jumped on board, spending far too many hours recreating one of our favourite recipes:

How to make a dead body blonde card dinner like my mother does

Food bits: 

Ground dead body as heavy as half half half half half half half one boxed foot of water (Five hundred tiny bits)

Two cups of red food ball, beaten hard

One white food ball that makes you cry, cut small 

Half of one cup of tiny green food balls, very cold 

One box of dry blonde card food 

Hard old white breakfast water as heavy as half half half half half half half half one boxed foot of normal water (two and a half hundred tiny bits), cut up tiny 

Directions: 

To make dressing, brown the ground dead body in a big round kitchen cup 

Add beaten red food balls, the white ball that made you cry and the tiny green food balls and controlled burn them a little, for a half half half half half half half day (about ten minutes) 

.In the bottom of a food case that is safe to put in the kitchen hot box, put down some dressing. 

Cover with some hard old white breakfast water. 

Then add some dry blonde card food.  

Repeat. Repeat. Repeat until there is no food left. Make sure to end with the hard old white breakfast water. 

Burn in the kitchen fire box for three half half half half half half half days (about three lots of ten minutes) at half half half half as hot as the skin of the sun (two hundred less twenty of the hot bits we use down under). 

Cut in pieces, eat and enjoy! 

(We have learned that the hot box is more close to the hot of the sun than the food burning time is to one day. That is weird.)

So that was all well and good, the whole team played well and we all went home very pleased with ourselves. But the PsephologyKid, (who long-time readers may remember from Raptember) then sent us THIS:

The Book of Beginning the World 

 1  

1 In the beginning God made the place where He lives and the world.  

2 And the world was without form, and empty; and the dark was upon the face of the deep. And the Mind of God moved upon the face of the waters.  

3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.  

4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God cut the light from the dark.  

5 And God called the light Day, and the dark He called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.  

6 And God said, Let there be a layer in the middle of the waters, and let it keep the waters from the waters.  

7 And God made the layer, and kept the waters which were under the layer from the waters which were above the layer: and it was so.  

8 And God called the layer Sky. And the evening and the morning were the second day.  

9 And God said, Let the waters under the sky be brought together to one place, and let the dry place appear: and it was so.  

10 And God called the dry place Land; and the bringing together of the waters called He a name that sounds like "see" but is written with an a: and God saw that it was good.  

11 And God said, Let the land bring forward small leaves, the tree things you can eat which make wood drops that fall and grow into baby tree things, and the food tree giving food after his kind, which has its wood drops inside, upon the land: and it was so.  

12 And the land brought forward small leaves, and the tree things you can eat which make wood drops that fall and grow into baby tree things after his kind, and the tree giving food, which has its wood drops inside, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.  

13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.  

14 And God said, Let there be lights in the layer of the sky to keep the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for times of the year, and for days, and years:  

15 And let them be for lights in the layer of the sky to give light upon the world: and it was so.  

16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to be in control in the day, and the lesser light to be in control in the night: He made the stars also.  

17 And God set them in the layer of the sky to give light upon the world,  

18 And to be great in the day and in the night, and to keep the light from the dark: and God saw that it was good.  

19 And the evening and the morning were day four.  

20 And God said, Let the waters bring forward lots of moving animals that hath life, and flying animals that may fly above the world in the open layer of sky.  

21 And God made great big animals that live in water, and every living animal that moves, which the waters brought forward lots of, after their kind, and every flying animal with flying arms after his kind: and God saw that it was good.  

22 And God wished them well, saying, Be full of babies, and have children, and fill the waters in the thing that sounds like "see" with an a, and let flying animals have children on the land.  

23 And the evening and the morning were day five.  

24 And God said, Let the land bring forward the living animal after his kind, food animals, and quietly moving things, and angry animals of the land after his kind: and it was so.  

25 And God made the angry animals of the land after his kind, and food animals after their kind, and every thing that walked quietly upon the land after his kind: and God saw that it was good.  

26 And God said, Let us make man in our form, after our looks: and let them have control over the water animals of the "see with an a", and over the flying animals of the air, and over the food animals, and over all the land, and over every quietly moving thing that moves quietly upon the land.  

27 So God made man in His own form, in the form of God made He him; boy and girl made He them.  

28 And God wished them well, and God said to them, Be full of babies, and have children, and fix the land, and control it: and have control over the water animals of the "see with an a", and over the flying animals of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the land.  

29 And God said, Check it out, I have given you every tree thing you can eat which make wood drops that fall and grow into baby tree things, which is upon the face of all the land, and every tree, in which is the food of a tree giving wood drops; to you it will be for food.  

30 And to every angry animal of the land, and to every flying animal of the air, and to every thing that moves quietly upon the land, where in there is life, I have given every green tree thing you can eat for food: and it was so.  

31 And God saw every thing that He had made, and, check it out, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were day six.

Check it out! It was very good!

Over the next few weeks we'll be sharing the ongoing story with you here, as the PsephologyKid thinks that it's not appropriate content for his blog, and we think it's too good not to share. we leave you now with this randomly selected memory verse from part ten and two:
