![]() ![]() ![]() Of all the subsites at 5MV, Five-Minute Deep Space Nine is arguably the most neglected. The only major series neither fived by Zeke nor under the control of a section head, it's been collecting fivers at a rather pitiful rate -- the recent addition of the Final Chapter aside -- ever since the site's inception. Hopefully, that will change as of today. We're relaunching the section under the able supervision of a very familiar face at 5MV: the very talented and scarily prolific Derek Dean. To start off what will undoubtedly be a long and prosperous reign of the section, Derek has fived all of the six season finales for your reading pleasure:
As part of his new status as Section Head, Derek now has a FAQ, a Fiver By Author page, and a new email address: derek@sci-fivers.com.ar. (The rabid niner fiver fans may want to write that down, but try not to overwhelm the poor guy too soon.) As with Marc in 5MNG and IJD GAF in 5MST, Derek will be responsible for fiver requests and processing guest fivers. You can also read the news arcticle for the occasion, which pretty much says exactly the same stuff. Â Enjoy the fivers, and don't forget those feedback links.[/color ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() "Mene mene tekel uparsin" is what's written on the wall in one of those Bible stories. Some Bible versions say "parsin" instead of "uparsin". The "u-" prefix just means "and". [quote ![]() ![]() You heard it in your American History class. "You furnish the pictures, I'll furnish the war" was said by William Randolph Hearst to Frederick Remington. Hearst was a yellow journalist who helped start the Spanish American War with his journalism.[/color ![]()

![]() It's gotten quite a bit of mileage since then. A variant of the line was used in the movie "Citizen Kane" (which was based on Hearst's life). More recently, it was used in the James Bond movie "Tomorrow Never Dies" by mad media mogul Elliot Carver (sort of an exaggerated Rupert Mudoch/Ted Turner type) who wants to start a war to boost his TV network ratings, and whose gleeful motto is "There's no news like BAD news!"[/color ![]()

Do you realise Zeke just how many sleepless nights I suffered over this though! (well none actually, but I might have done)[/color ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Thank God for online Bible searches. [quote ![]() ![]() ![]() 25 "This is the inscription that was written: Mene ,Mene , Tekel , Parsin [5] 26 "This is what these words mean: Mene [6] : God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end. 27 Tekel [7] : You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting. 28 Peres [8] : Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians." 29 Then at Belshazzar's command, Daniel was clothed in purple, a gold chain was placed around his neck, and he was proclaimed the third highest ruler in the kingdom. 30 That very night Belshazzar, king of the Babylonians, [9] was slain, 31 and Darius the Mede took over the kingdom, at the age of sixty-two. Footnotes 5. 5:25 Aramaic UPARSIN (that is, AND PARSIN ) 6. 5:26 Mene can mean numbered or mina (a unit of money). 7. 5:27 Tekel can mean weighed or shekel . 8. 5:28 Peres (the singular of Parsin ) can mean divided or Persia or a half mina or a half shekel . 9. 5:30 Or Chaldeans[/quote ![]() It has no special relevance. I was just looking for some foreign words in the Bible and remembered this story.[/color ![]()
