I hate to do a nothing post which is really only a link to someone else’s blog post, but Sam’s guest post at Feministe on mistranslation and the virgin birth (of Jesus) is a good read on something I’d been meaning to mention here.
For more mistranslation fun, check out Zechariah 9:9. That last couplet is a really common rhetorical device in the Hebrew Bible called parallelism, which basically underscores the point. Here, it means that the messiah’s gonna come into town on a donkey, emphasized because that’s probably not how people are expecting him.
Now check out Matthew 21:4-7. Most academics tend to agree that Matthew was probably the Jewish gospel writer, and pretty interested in convincing Jews that Jesus was the awaited messiah who fulfilled prophecies such as Zechariah 9:9. Unfortunately, he wasn’t too in tune with the nuances of Hebrew poetry, so Jesus is somehow straddling two donkeys while riding into Jerusalem. Maybe one was a footrest.
The Illegiterati 
Perhaps he was doing the equivalent of “roman riding” on the two donkeys? /snark
Вы говорите об Insurance Fraud одном из преступлений.Чтобы получить номера в другой провинции вам нужно предоставить доказательство проживания в ней.Можно конечно, найти друга, который пропишет у себя.Но как только случится дтп в вашей провинции и вы за него будете нести ответственность, страховая захочет разобраться что автомобиль с квебекскими номерами делал в этот момент в Онтарио.Если не всплывет ваш реальный адрес проживания, а он легко пробивается по правам (тогда вам тоже нужны квебекские), то пронесет .Иначе, страховая ничего не покроет, вам придется платить всё самому (а это могут быть сотни тысяч долларов, если кто-то из людей получил травмы), ну и заодно в тюрьму угодить.Automobile insurance fraud.A peorsn may illegally register their car to a location that would net them cheaper insurance rates than where they actually live, sometimes called rate evasion . For example, some drivers in Brooklyn drive with Pennsylvania license plates because registering their car in a rural part of Pennsylvania will cost a lot less than registering it in Brooklyn.

This organization collects information on insurance fraud, and also carries out investigations.
