"Mene mene tekel uparsin" is what's written on the wall in one of those Bible stories. Some Bible versions say "parsin" instead of "uparsin". The "u-" prefix just means "and".

[quoteost_uid0]Now, I *know* I've heard *that* one somewhere, too...[/quoteost_uid0]
You heard it in your American History class. "You furnish the pictures, I'll furnish the war" was said by William Randolph Hearst to Frederick Remington. Hearst was a yellow journalist who helped start the Spanish American War with his journalism.[/colorost_uid0]
