Day 6 - Nimrod

As I was reading in Genesis Chapter 10 this morning, my mind began to wonder as it does so often. Basically Ch. 10 is about Noah's 3 sons and their sons and which sections of the world they migrated to after the flood. My mind first began to wonder when I began to think about Noah's grandsons and their wives. Their wives had to be either cousins or siblings. Yuk. There was no one else to marry. I get so distracted when I start analyzing things like that. I do that not only when I read the bible but basically....let's see...all the time! Mike was trying to teach me to play the guitar. I have no musical knowledge at all! He was trying to teach me the strings. I got distracted because there are 2 E strings. My argument was how will  I know which E to play when someone says"play the E string". If there are only 6 strings, why does there have to be 2 E's. Musicians are creative people, why did the first musician that "named" the strings not come up with another letter. That just doesn't make since to me. Mike very patiently tried to explain it to me and finally just gave up. I always want to analyze and know the "why's, how's , what's. etc."  See, I told you I have absolutely NO knowledge about music! So back to Noah and Genesis Chapter 10. After spending about 15 minutes thinking about the "kissing cousins", I got to verse 8 "Cush was the father of Nimrod, who grew to be a mighty warrior on the earth. He was a mighty hunter..".  My analyzing continued. I always thought when you called someone a "Nimrod",  you were insulting them. I had no idea I was actually calling my husband a "mighty warrior" that day. Just kidding :) So I then had to research word origin for Nimrod. The urban dictionary says that the negative nimrod possibly came from a Bugs Bunny episode from the 40's when Bugs Bunny refers to Elmore Fudd as "a poor little Nimrod". Here is a link http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=nimrod
Not that the urban dictionary is the most reliable source of factual information, but I found it interesting none the less. SOOOOOO, I always very thankful that God loves me and doesn't hold my "analyzing" against me. Thank you God!!!

PS: Does anyone know anything else about Nimrod or about E strings?
