Interesting stuff on the Divine Pageant site. I don't think I can take much of it seriously, but as a fiction writer it's a goldmine. There's a page linked on the main site that hints at the 12 Tribes origin of Europeans. The theory is likely a load of hot garbage, given what's known about the pedigree of European genetic stock. The lineage is ultimately irrelevant anyway, since a covenant faith isn't limited to one people anymore.

I admire the straight HTML of the site, but he also uses the Comic Sans font in places. That's a red flag.

*sarcasm warning* Yes, the greatest heresy of all is using Comic Sans.

Hathaway is truly eclectic in his tastes. I'm sure my weirdness also sends some folks into a complete tizzy.

Thanks for commenting on the divine pageant site. I have been lurking over there trying to figure this guy out. A most interesting post is of his last day on earth, all that he experienced right on his death day. I don’t really understand what you mean by comic sans? Could ya elaborate?

It's a joke, Denise, from back in the days of Windows 95, or maybe longer. At any rate, in the late 1990s, a lot of people were enamored by a font that Microsoft released as part of their basic collection of Web fonts, called "Comic Sans" -- a sans-serif font with odd shapes. It's okay for little bits of text here and there (like text on a comics drawing), but it's awful for reading. I knew people who printed long school papers using it. Teachers and professors went nuts. It's not good on the eyes. At about the same time, when ordinary folks discovered the Internet and started creating their first hobby web pages, it showed up again everywhere. People who actually understood the art of making web pages for readability would complain about that. It became sort of the symbol of air-headedness on the Net. Thus, anyone who uses Comic Sans font on their website are people who can't be trusted to tell you anything that matters, for example.

That’s sad and funny. So maybe the divine pageant is a comedy site(just kidding, but maybe I’ll look at it that way)

The Divine Comedy Pageant, Dante's lost addendum.
