    Anybody want to guess what this image is trying to convey (don't worry, it's SFW and KSS)? I'm not at all sure, but I can assure you it's not what you're thinking. ;)

    Its from the Quran. The very top is "In the name of God, the most merciful, the most gracious" in simple calligraphy. The "pron" depicts pronoun I guess.

      People can find humour in many things; it does not mean disrespect for you or your beliefs. I can see the humour, and I can see the message.

      Just say 'NO' to evaluated arguments for diadic functions! Ash

        I don't get it. looks like a syntactical/grammatical analysis of a Coran verse. Maybe you just giggle whenever you read or hear "pron" ? :confused:

        Watched code never compiles.

          Pron = Pronoun, the hi at the and of BiYad_hi_deterimes whose hand [yad], the this case the Subject of the sentence. It must correlate in subject of the sentence "he" (alladhee). The Bi is positional (in): Yad = Hand Yadhi = His hand BiYadi = in his hand. AL Mulku is easy: Al is the definite artice, "the". Mulku has the same root as King [Malik], so a possible translation would be kingship over dominion, although the word in Arabic might be used to mean a concept that is a mixture of both that we don't have.* Together these two term form the subject of the sentence (this is the same as the subject in English). The remaining part of the sentence is the "News" - literally the new information about subject, in the this case that he is blessed. Alladhee is he, this must (and does) agree with the personal pronoun on the hand. The verb is blessed, this completes the news, and makes the sentence grammatically complete in Arabic (like a subject/predicate combination does in English, or so I'm told). Subject: [he, ] In whose hands is dominion [,] News: is blessed. The original translation has more of the impact of the Arabic, as it places the subject towards the end of the sentence. I've taken the liberty of moving he from the news to the subject. Have I laboured this point enough now?????????? Hopefully somone Arab will come along and correct my many probable errors, modern formal Arabic is a *fantastically* complicated language, and Koranic Arabic is by all accounts much harder. * I hate to let the team down, but I can't work out why Mulku and not Mulk, I suspect it is because it has to agree with "he", or it puts the dominion "in the hands"

          Sort of a cross between Lawrence of Arabia and Dilbert.[^]

                  You can still be arrogant and even an arrogant SOB, just not self-righteous. :)

                      Thanks for the heads up, but... Normally I don't have a problem with religion, until religious people try to tell me what is good and bad and what I can and cannot do or even should and should not do. As far as I am concerned, those people can worship the Flying Spaghetti Monster, just so long as they don't force spaghetti on me every Sunday. And as far as religious people not liking comedy that makes fun of religion, I bet they really don't like George Carlin and Tim Minchin. But, there are a whole lot of people who do like them and I appreciate their entertaining me. If those people don't like it, they don't have to listen to it. I didn't post that image with the associated commentary to make fun of religion. I posted it to make fun of a peculiar combination of words. Because I find it funny that things can be interpretted in multiple ways. And I'm pretty sure a few others do too.
