Here is the first submission from someone other than me. Thanks Francis.

Unlike the world's oldest profession, intelligence gathering has scriptural authority. (See Numbers, XIII) submitted by Francis X. Archibald.

I checked out Francis' reference, and here is what it says: The LORD said to Moses,
Send men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I give to the people of Israel; from each tribe of their fathers shall you send a man, every one a leader among them." I found this from The Bible, Revised Standard version at Electronic Text Center -- University of Virginia Library

This Blog was inspired by the game that I used to play with a group of high school friends. We took turns quoting pithy maxims until we were no longer able. It was actually alot of fun, in a quasi-geeky kind of way. Use the link below to email your pithy maxim to me for inclusion. Specify if you want credit, or if you want to be listed as a pithy maxim poster. Thanks.
