I love how a famous forefather ( turned 3:16 experimenter and muser on metaphysics, etc ) suddenly throws in how he wanted to role play cheating in a hotel during the course of research in Oslo, and that was his wife's expectation if he was going to squeeze composing another book into their marriage.
It was so nonchalant it was just thrown in as if he was describing the napkin with the theory on it:

"Because we liked to have an affair in the hotel room."
"So that was the plan."

- Kristine1975 10y agoI guess this refers to Donald Knuth's "3:16 Bible Texts Illuminated": http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~uno/316.html http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~uno/316.html >The text found in chapter 3, verse 16, of most books in the Bible is a typical verse with no special distinction. But when Knuth examined what leading scholars throughout the centuries have written about those verses, he found that there is a fascinating story to be learned in every case, full of historical and spiritual insights. This book presents jargon-free introductions to each book of the Bible and in-depth analyses of what people from many different religious persuasions have said about the texts found in chapter 3, verse 16, together with 60 original illustrations by many of the world's leading calligraphers. >The result is a grand tour of the Bible -- from Genesis 3:16 to Revelation 3:16 -- a treat for the mind, the eyes, and the spirit.
