Immediately he told his signalman to send a message, “Alter your course 10 degrees south." 2. Promptly a return message was received: “Alter your course 10 degrees ...read more

    I sometimes wonder whether God has structured these ten commandments with the most obvious sins first and the least obvious or most subtle at the end.
