Today is the memorial of Saint Sharbel Makhluf (1828-1898), Christian name also spelt Charbel, surname also spelt Maklouf: saint-link & Wikipedia-link.
Commentary: The latter-day hermit's name is spelt Sharbel Makhluf in both the parish bulletin & the AmericanCatholic.org website. The Wikipedia gives three versions of the name: Charbel Makhluf, Sharbel Maklouf, & Charbel Makhlouf. I do not know which combination of spellings is most correct, as I lack any & all expertise on transliterating names written in Syriac or Arabic into modern English's Latin-derived alphabet.
The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day
Space, "Female of the Species (Fembot Mix)" from Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery—Original Soundtrack (T.L.A.M.)
Commentary:
"Shock, shock, horror, horror, shock, shock, horror,
I'll shout myself hoarse for your supernatural force.
The female of the species is more deadly than the male.
"Oh, she deals in witchcraft,
And one kiss and I'm zapped,
Oh, how can Heaven hold a place for me
When a girl like you has cast her spell on me?
Oh, how can Heaven hold a place for me
When a girl like you has cast her spell on me?
"Frankenstein and Dracula have nothing on you.
Jekyll and Hyde, join the back of the queue.
The female of the species is more deadly than the male.
Oh, she wants to conquer the world completely,
But first she'll conquer me discreetly.
The female of the species is more deadly than the male.
"Oh, she deals in witchcraft…"
