You 24 fans may have seen a humorous list of "Jack Bauer facts" circulating around the Web. Getting a good chuckle out of those, I decided to launch my own. I was also inspired by the ups and downs of second-year New Testament Greek. Welcome to the nerdy world I live in.
Jack Bauer NT Greek Facts
The Bauer lexicon wasn't written by Walter Bauer. It was written by Jack Bauer.
Jack Bauer never misses a vocab question. If his answer is different, then that usage just hasn't been discovered yet.
In seminary, Jack Bauer was known to stay up for an entire day before midterms and finals. They were the longest days of his life.
The reason some noun forms have an iota-subscript instead of a full iota is that Jack Bauer was interrogating them. First he took out the right iota with his knife, then moved over to the left iota.
Jack Bauer created Koine Greek. While he was temporarily dead, he went back in time to the New Testament era and influenced the change in language.
Jack Bauer advised St. John to write the Johannine Comma, and is also responsible for the "long ending" of Mark's gospel.
Jack Bauer believes in covenant headship: "My name is Jack Bauer! I'm a federal agent!"
Jack Bauer favors neither the TR nor the NU-text. He prefers the CTU text.
While Jack Bauer was in seminary, a professor witheld vital information, so Jack shot him with a tranqulizer dart and hacked into his bank account.
When another professor gave Jack Bauer a B, Jack brought him down on corruption charges.
If (as rarely happens) Jack is stumped by the tense of a verb, he will kneecap it in order to make it talk.

That is so funny! Now we know why those Greek forms are like that…it's always good to have it explained. However, there remain many things about Greek that have not been fully explained, yet - "such and such is like that because this is Greek". ./chrisalexion_2008-10_wordpress_export_files/icon_smile.gif alt=:- class=wp-smiley Inspite of it all, Greek continues to be a very interesting language!
