This provides a good opportunity to share Artemisia Gentileschi's picture of Jael killing Sisera.

I'm no expert and unfamiliar with the story but are we sure she wasn't performing early brain surgery for a head injury? Burr holes for an extradural haematoma? The Incas and the Egyptians knew all about it I believe.

ScrimpshawTheSecond · 24/07/2020 20:28

Trepanning gone terribly wrong?

FloralBunting · 24/07/2020 20:31

I think it's fair to say that driving a tent peg through the skull of a sleeping man is probably not a great surgical method in any culture.

Oh, and you can definitely begat with your coat on. It's very continental.

ScrimpshawTheSecond · 24/07/2020 20:32

Ah. Fur coat, nae knickers, we call it up here.

ClocheEncounter · 24/07/2020 20:35

The Book of Judges contains (chapter 4) the story of Deborah, prophet and Judge of Israel, before they had a monarchy. Deborah calls Barak, military leader, and tells him to march against the Caananites (Sisera being their general) and God will give them victory.

“K,” says Barak, “but only if you come.”

“K,” says Deborah, “but since you won’t take my word/God’s word on this, Sisera will be delivered into the hands of a woman”

Big battle, Sisera flees the battlefield and comes upon the tent of Jael, wife of Heber the Kenite, with whom the Canaanites have an understanding.

She speaks soft words to him, gives him a drink, lets him fall asleep and then rams a tent peg through his skull. And then walks out and tells Barak, “hey, are you looking for Sisera? Because well...”

And then there’s a victory song about how great God, Barak, Deborah and Jael are.

So no, definitely not trepanning Grin

ClocheEncounter · 24/07/2020 20:36

Took too long typing all that out, Floral beat me to it!

FloralBunting · 24/07/2020 20:36

"Sorry, Sisera can't talk right now. I totally trepanned the fucker."

rednsparkley · 24/07/2020 21:10

This all sounds very promising makes mental note to purchase Sunday Times

Loving the artwork too

BitOfFun · 24/07/2020 21:37

Stonewall me, these paintings are marvellous!

CatandtheFiddle · 24/07/2020 21:48

TransgenderTrend, LGB Alliance and Safe Schools Alliance. The first two are well known as being anti-trans so I'm out

What evidence do you have that they're anti-trans? Unless you define pro-same sex relationships (LGB Alliance) as anti-trans.

If that's your definition, most things in this world are anti-trans, including women's rights.

FlaviaAlbiaWantsLangClegBack · 24/07/2020 21:59

Trepanned the fucker GrinGrin I've been looking for a new username and that has promise Grin

Just got an email from KJK-M (Standing For Women):

I know that this weekend is going to be nearly as good as next week..... keep your eyes peeled.

THIS IS NOT FAIR.

Well! What’s happening next week? A continuation of this weekend’s event?

Are the red tops coming to take over the UK then?

FloralBunting · 24/07/2020 22:40

What's red and sits in the corner?

A naughty bus!

RedToothBrush · 24/07/2020 22:41

Hmmm this might be bad news for those looking for judicial reviews...

... this really could screw gender critical women seeking to overturn institutional nonsense which is rewriting the law in practice.

This concerns me.

Keep eyes on this developing. Its more important than rumours about those beginning with S.

FloralBunting · 24/07/2020 22:49

It should concern us, Red, definitely.

I'm just feeling pretty positive about what's already in the pipeline. There's always going to fresh hurdles thrown in our way. We leap them as they come.

EmbarrassingAdmissions · 24/07/2020 22:54

Given the number of captured organisations and how readily some MPs are lobbied, you're right to flag this, Red

nauticant · 24/07/2020 22:56

I'm with FloralBunting. If Johnson acts to limit the effects of judicial reviews it will be to limit the scope of judge made law where no law existed before rather than those challenges which oblige public and other bodies to comply with existing statute law such as the Equality Act 2010.

BiologyNotBigotry · 24/07/2020 23:53

I'm loving the little segue into biblical discussion... Personally, I love the story a little later in the book of Judges, chapter 9, where a woman drops a millstone on Abimelek & cracks his skull. He's still well enough to ask his servant to stab him so no-one could say he was killed by a woman. If he was conscious then maybe he could've recovered but, nope, he'd rather have his mate murder him just in case... Oh, the shame of being killed by a woman!

ErrolTheDragon · 25/07/2020 00:10

There used to be an interesting poster on the philosophy&religion boards with the NN HolofernesHead.

FannyCann · 25/07/2020 00:16

I'm loving the little segue into biblical discussion.

Excellent diversion Biology

I often wish I could wind up on a desert Island with the Bible, Shakespeare and another book. If I never escaped at least I'd die educated. Assuming the island was a lush and bountiful one so that one's time wasn't wasted scrabbling round trying to survive.

And thanks for the explanation Floral and Cloche.

Trepanned the fucker.

That could almost be the biblical version of a sex game gone wrong defence. Grin

TinselAngel · 25/07/2020 00:40

You'd end up either eating or burning the Bible.

FloralBunting · 25/07/2020 00:46

The pages in bibles are usually really good for roll ups, so if there were any interesting herbs on the island, you could use the bible to, erm, be enlightened...

McDuffy · 25/07/2020 05:55

Up early with my crap-sleeper kids, can't see anything at first glance in Saturday Times!

MrsJamin · 25/07/2020 06:46

I checked too. Perhaps it's going to be in the sunday times?
