  You guys are too young to remember, but when I was a child there was a movie starring Debbie Reynolds about a real Belgian Dominican Sister nicknamed The Singing Nun -- also the name of the movie. Sister Luc Gabriel achieved a lot of fame in the early 60s and one of her songs, "Dominique", was a number one hit in the US. I was learning to play the guitar and my sister and I learned the song in French and sang it often. It was such a happy, peppy little tune and, because of that and not knowing French, I didn't realize until I was in college that it was a song about Saint Dominic, the Dominican order, and the crusade against the Albigensian Cathars in Southern France. While Dominic was more about preaching and mercy with the Cathars, the peppy little song celebrates how "Dominique, notre Pere, combattit les Albigeois" -- "Dominique, our father, fought the Albigensians". I don't sing it anymore...

  Don't let Dan lead you astray! Bill Murray wasn't even part of the Season 1 cast of SNL and the skit was by Steve Martin and Bill Murray, no one else. Let the truth set you free!

  Thank you for this knowledge and your continuing effort to educate the public about the Abrahamic religions.

  Oh, so the early Christian Fathers were upset about a bunch of people coopting their religious beliefs to create an entirely new religion! How about them apples? 😂

  I just read Aprils book about gnosticism and countercultures. Get her on the show soon!

  Hey, Dan M. FYI, Bill Murray wasn&apos;t in the first season of SNL. He replaced Chevy Chase early on. So, while the &quot;What is That?&quot; skit is famous, it&apos;s not first season. The first episode was hosted by George Carlin, who wanted to be the permanent host of the show.<br><br>Also, hi to Dan B. Microfiche is flat. Microfilm was the one that rolled.

  Sounds like that exhibit would finally make all the people who took one year of Spanish feel validated when they talk about the biblio-tech<br>(I&apos;ll see myself out)
