I am just curious where the word blog came from. I at first thought it must have been from all those old pirate movies. You know when they say "blarrg." But then I remembered that what they said was "arrg."
Then I was thinking that the word must have originated from the phrase "BLa Bla Bla Bla." You know when you bla on someone it is to dump your thoughts good or bad out there for all to hear. Ok so you add a g to bla and you get... well you get blag with a short a sound, so that does not work.
Perhaps then it came from all those go happy star trek fans out there. You know the line. But for those who don't: "Captains Log stardate..." Now this new theory is more likely since everyone knows trekkies are also known for their techieness/internet/computer skills. It must have been that they just added a b to log and baddabing you have what we know today as blog.
Then again there is a song that Ren and Stimpy used to sing about a log and cartoon lovers could just as well of come up with the BLOG as anyone else.
(It's Log! It's Log! It's big, it's heavy, it's wood. It's Log! It's Log! It's better than bad it's Good!)
Lets see what wikipedia has to say:The modern blog evolved from the online diary, where people would keep a running account of their personal lives. Most such writers called themselves diarists ( sounds a little too much like potty talk to me) , journalists, or journalers. A few called themselves "escribitionists".
Wikipedia also had this to say: A blog : a portmanteau of web log
So there you have it folks, not to disappoint star trek fans everywhere, but actually the term "BLOG" came about simply by combining two words.
Web + Log - we = Blog
I have heard this show is atheist in nature. Not a surprise to me.
ReplyDeleteMost Christian blogs have a problem with practicing the golden rule and not respecting peoples opinions. In ancient times when the Pharisees committed the unforgivable sin God did not say your opinion has been removed because I told one of the writers of the bible to erase that comment about what all of you said about My Son from the bible. Almost nothing that was ever done in the bible was ever removed by being erased. This is the problem with Christians and the internet. When they remove the truth of what people say and act like they can love God at the same time it just does not mix just like the old saying that oil and water do not mix. That is hypocrisy at its finest when people look at what others are doing wrong without looking at themselves first.
ReplyDeleteWhy would God think it is okay for David to dance naked in the bible anyway? I heard that is what happened. That is no better than Isaiah being shameless in Egypt preaching without clothes and underwear on. What was God thinking when he had him do that? How did that make sense anyway? Why would God create Adam and Eve naked and make them stupid so they would know they sinned and would be embarrassed by being naked anyway?
