Greek and Hebrew Humor

Thanks to Michael Kruse's keen eye, here are two links to humor relating to learning the biblical languages of Greek and Hebrew.

First, Dr. Seuss Learns Greek, a hilarious takeoff on "Green Eggs and Ham".




Next, we have "Abbott and Costello Learn Hebrew", a witty takeoff on "Who's on First?"

Who knew learning languages could be so much fun? Oh? What's that? This is only making fun of learning the languages? Well, it's easier than actually learning declensions.

My Greek professor, Sam Gantt, brought in a video of Monty Python's "Life of Brian" to watch before our Greek final exam. It was, of course, the "Romans Go Home" scene. We were rolling on the floor with laughter, knowing how hard we had worked at declensions, and verb tenses. It put us in the right mood to take an exam.
