    Great, today I had been at a funeral, and as soon as the priest said: "Saint Paul to the Corinthians...", I recalled this and I had to hold my breath for an hour or I would have started laughing out loud in the middle of the service. Thanks, Eddie: you made a better person of me. :D

    Wouldn't be unfair to say this man literally shaped my life. First saw the DVD of his 'Circle' show when i was about 12 or 13 back in 2003/4 and nothing was ever the same after that! xD Finally got my dream of seeing him live in 2009. What an absolute hero and legend of comedy.

    He is Brilliant across the board. Learned in so many areas; "Cake or Death" all the quips he throws out, like vegetarian painter, fact! Ended up in a ditch covered in petrol--fact! Number of deaths for each country, dead on accurate! Then he can turn around and w/out saying a word, just facial gestures, slight finger, & minute movement of right hand (palm); Eddie has the audience in stitches for more than two minutes! Genius! Oh, topic? Huh. Hint: Jerry Dorsey.

    'Love, Paul (Saint).' Very, very Monty Python. No wonder John Cleese called him 'the lost Python.' You can almost imagine his complaint letter: Dear Paul (Saint), I wish to complain in the strongest possible terms about the letter you wrote to the Corinthians. I know many Corinthians, in fact I am one, and only half of them put socks in their toasters. Yours, Eddie the Non-Corinthian (Transvestite, exec., PhD in comedy, so on and so forth)

    SAINT PAUL SAID: "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. (...) And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." 1 Corinthians 13

    there was a code in the numbers, it varied according to the roman authority of the day, i don't remember where i learned it but the guy was jewish and a scholar of ancient texts. so it's wasn't 666, and the same things with alot of the images in the revilations. they were meant for the time the people wrote them as a cryptic way of wishing the end of roman control know the comment is old, wanted to say it anyway.
