Gotta shout out my baddies from ancient SW Asia: Tiamat (Babylonia), Yamm and Mot (Ugarit), Leviathan (Israel/Judah). Honorable mentions for Humbaba (current profile pic) and Anzu.

But his celibacy comes to light after the wives of Lamech, who was blind, call Adam a hypocrite for ordering them to stay with their husband after he had accidentally hunted and killed Cain (who was horned like an animal) and then, reacting to that realization, accidentally killed his own son.

Incredible. I'd never read this before. Going down the rabbit hole, Erubin 18b seems to suggest that Adam was involuntarily separated from Eve for all that time (maybe as punishment for disobedience?) so his motive in the midrashim might be penitential, or at least murkier than spite.

Saw them in Portland. Great show. They closed with Scenes from an Italian Restaurant, and although the people in front of me clearly thought it was weird that I knew all the words, I am glad I was belting it out with Ken.

Let's see: I'm from NY so I love to talk about the subway and I pronounce "bagel" correctly but I moved to Minnesota ten years ago; I might now say I'm a Minnesotan and proud to be one (a Minnesotan, that is). Yeah, checks out.
