What is this, Pick on Jim Day?  Two threads, written within hours, pointing out tiny nitpicky details?  Do you guys read these books with a red pen in hand?

Besides, I doubt that this is a mistake of Jim’s.  Harry is no theologian.  I doubt that he recognizes that the current Christian Sabbath is not on the same day as the historical Jewish Sabbath.

Nice catch.  I think there's a list of mistakes somewhere.  We can try to find it and see if that's already been spotted, and if not, add it.

Wait, you're saying we actually keep a list cataloging all of the mistakes and continuity errors we've noticed in Jim's works?

We are the kinda of people that reread a series several times, spend hours debating the meaning behind one obscure sentence, and concoct elaborate theories for books that have yet to be written; of course we are going to have lists for typos and textual errors.

Ah! So what you're saying is, this site is essentially a convent of monks (and some nuns) all studying the Word and applying our various interpretations to it. The only difference being that in this case, our deity is falliable.
