Hans (in message 126429):
> No wonder Revelation 2:23 says, "I am he who searches
> heart and kidneys". And Psalm 26 says, "Test my heart
> and my kidneys". 

Geoff:
I am intrigued to know which version of the Bible translates these 
verses in that way.

Almost every version I checked translates your two quotes as "heart 
and mind" except, curiously, the King James' Version which speaks 
of "reins and hearts".

Hans now:
Thanks for that interesting point, Geoff. I took the liberty of changing
reins into kidneys as I didnt think many members of HPfGU would know
that word. Renes is the Latin word for kidneys and we can see how we get the
words adrenals from that (ad = to).

I also notice that many Bible translations omit the word unicorn and
substitute buffalo. If theres a Biblical scholar amongst us Id be
interested to know how such important (to me) differences can arise.

Hans (in message 126362):

> The mind boggles.

Geoff:
Yes, but is it boggling at a JKR red herring or even just her style?

Hans now:
I agree; it could be a red herring. The more you study Harry Potter the more
mysteries you solve, opening the door to ten times as many mysteries again.
