So, I find that the trouble with Tukang Kopi is that they don't open until 1, and I'm sure that even that is jam karet. Downright un-American. In America coffee is a pagi thang, ya know. A pagi-pagi thang.
As for Limamike, I find that they don't generally open before 3 pm. Even then, it's hit or miss.
So I drive up to Jala Food Court instead, which opens, more or less, at 11. Great. I get my coffee and find that their wifi is rusak.
Should have just gone to Starbucks and done the pelit thing kan.
Anyway, that's just all introductory. I meant to write about an article I recently read wherein a Rabbi explained that the word "rib" in the creation story (God took a rib from Adam's side and formed woman from it) is a mistranslation of the Hebrew word for the 'baculum', or the penis bone.
Now this is interesting, because a man has no penis bone, whereas most other mammals, including apes, do. Having a 'boner' is merely a descriptive term, for there is no bone involved in a man's erection, whereas the bone possessed by other mammals essentially makes erection a permanent condition. It is the woman herself who is involved in the human male's erection.
Some men will say, I suppose, 'Wouldn't women love that permanent erection', while most women might be more inclined to consider the idea nightmarish.
So where did that penis bone go in the human creature? It went to the woman. It is the woman. It is for and of and part of the woman and the woman is for and of and part of the man.
"Now she is flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone," Adam said - and could not have said more rightly.
Again, the apostle Paul would later say, 'But the man is not without the woman and neither the woman without the man."
God loves a paradox. Separate, but two; two, but one; and with God, three expressed as one.
"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him, male and female created he them."
Who can search the depths of God's wisdom, who can comprehend His ways?
