Wow! Some of this supports my theories about sin. I often wondered if there is a relationship between Sin & the mathematical sine (y = sin x). They say the Journey of Jesus parallels the passage of our sun through the seasons & zodiac houses. Anything circular can be extrapolated to a sinewave, including the horoscope. The bit about synn meaning true and archery is interesting… why am I thinking of apples right now. Perhaps when big J took the sins of the world away, sine x = 0. It would be interesting to model this. Or have I missed the mark with all this… sinning

Just like sin, the etymology of the geometric sine is also related to archery as bowstring. Probably because it’s like a the chord of an arc.
Outrageously, sine is also related to folds, bends & curves in clothes.
Are you thinking what I am thinking?

I have just discovered the meaning of everything! It’s number… Ermmm ummm
Why do I find holding numbers in my head difficult when calculating? I’m sure it was Forty-something.
Anyhow, when tired or stressed, I get very bad number amnesia.

Isn’t there a theory that manna from heaven is really one of the psychoactive ‘magic’ mushroom (sorry if this offends anyone).
Magic Mushroom, Mana From Heaven – probably a dubious theory, but you never know.
