'Soup Nazi' to Launch Takeout Chain

Coming soon to a neighborhood near you, the 'Soup Nazi' is launching a takeout chain.



The real chef, Al Yeganeh, behind the character made famous on Seinfeld will be launching a chain of takeout soup stands. While this grouchy gourmet chef won't let you call him "soup nazi", the restaurants will feature the rules made famous on the show as well as many other features of the original Manhattan restaurant, where line of customers winds around the corner.



Good luck, Al! By the way, this is not Al.

Mozilla Browsers Gaining Market Share



While I occasionally still use Safari and maybe once a month use IE, I use Firefox both at home and the office. I guess, I'm not alone. It's very Java friendly and has very customized pop-up blocker and tabbed browsing. The newsfeed features are also a breeze as well.

The Moral Wal-Mart Question

Does the bastion of American retail capitalism, Wal-Mart operate within a moral framework consistent with Christian belief and practices?



Here's a fascinating editorial with analysis done by one of the editors at Christianity Today. A lot of food for thought in this. I especially wonder about the points made in the last couple of paragraphs of this article.

Of all things, I never suspected that I'd hear of dietary restrictons being placed on the Cookie Monster.

Manifold Sins and Wickedness

There seems to be a big deal being made about the choice of words being used in the liturgy to bless the wedding of Prince Charles and the Princess Consort, especially the phrase where they said that they "acknowledge and bewail (their) manifold sins and wickedness".



Believe me, this prayer is not a new invention for this troubled pair's wedding. For example, check out the liturgy for used by Charles's mother, Queen Elizabeth II, in her Coronation; it's found in Section 15 (the Communion).

Frankly, this prayer is found in the weekly Eucharistic service used by the majority of Anglicans in the world (Africa, Asia, etc.) as well as in those churches using 1662 Prayer Book in the Church of England, in the liturgy of the Rite One Eucharist used all across the USA in the Episcopal Church (USA), and in the primary form of the Eucharist in most of the more conservative non-ECUSA Anglican churches of America.
