Call me 'Cold Fish'

PaleoJudaica has a nice roundup of commentary about the quality of the Aramaic spoken in The Passion. Sounds a bit shaky.

Nothing beats a good Talmudic Aramaic put-down. My personal favorite: "Al tikrei Hamnuna, ela Kar-nuna." Snap! Oh no you didn't!

On a related note, I also noticed in the preview that Pontius Pilate quotes Nietzsche.

I'm in a bit of a fatuous mood today, in case you can't tell.

Don't be fatuous, Jeffrey.
