Tuesday, November 19, 2013. The Essence of Human Life. This is a reading list Lu made up using her Tobii the other day. I have been working at making pages on the Tobii of the covers of all of the books she owns (which is many) so she could choose what she wants me to read.
hubba hubba. An expression of appreciation. The phrase, along with the longer âhubba hubba ding dingâ started during World War II, purportedly from a Chinese greeting âhow-pu-howâ that Air Force pilots learned from Chinese pilots trained at a Florida base.
Tob was the name of a place in ancient Israel, mentioned in the Bible. It is said to be the land to which Jephtha fled from his brothers. The location is not definitely known, but some identify it with the region centering on Taibiyah, southeast of Sea of Galilee. Since the suffix -iYa means mine, Taibeyah means basically: My Tob or Our Tob or Me (of) Tob or us, We of Tob. In Tob, Jephtha gathered some men until his brothers wanted him back to fight against the Ammonites. The place may be the same as the one mentioned in 2 Samuel 10:6-8, named Ishtob. Some believe it should be translated men of Tob, rather than Ishtob.
