Hey-seus? I'd think Jesús would be pronounced He-sús, not like in Zeus. But of course, I am a newbie at Spanish, since I've never had it...

Has anyone ever seen the movie "Wargames" with Matthew Broderick and Ally Sheedy? Joshua was the name of the computer and whenever I hear the name I always think of that.

Y'shua is the real name huh....very interesting. You know the Yuuzhan Vong name for The Prophet is Yu'Shaa. I would say that looks very close. I think the people working on the NJO had an idea of what they were doing there.

Jesus is the greek rendering of the Hebrew word Y'shua, which for some reason some people render Joshua. You had the right idea, you just switched it around a bit. Another fun Bible fact is that the book of James is misnamed. If you look at the Greek, the name renders as Jacob, but to prevent controversy when translating the King James Version they changed the name to James.

I bet the teacher found out through the internet. So technically, you didn't know because of school, but because of the computer. Why even bother going to school then?

:P
