ABC'z

Did you know …


That the modern Latin alphabet was originally ordered the way it is not arbitrarily, but according to a specific acronym or acrostic? It’s true!


Supposedly the acrostic is based on something said by Jesus, although it doesn’t necessarily sound like something he’d say. Plus, didn’t he speak Klingon, or some other old language? Anyhow, this is how it goes:


All Bad Children Die, Every Fucking Goddamn Horsefucker In Jesus’ Kingdom. Love Me Now Or Prolapse, Queefers. Still Thinking Up Vague, Weasely Xcuses, You Zinners?

I mean, who’s to say what Jesus talked like? It’s possible, maybe? At the very least the archaic spellings of “excuses” and “sinners” suggest that it’s not a modern construction.
