JIPJOBXX Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 I put this up because I know some people here if not most will find this most fascinating and I have never seen something like this befor. Sit back and watch the action and enjoy! :)Jon http://www.rollingthroughthebay.com/sf1.html Quote
randroid Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 Jon, I've always held a strange attraction for "marble rolls", as I have often heard them called, and that one is certainly the most complicated and beautiful of any I've had the pleasure of seeing. The only fault I can find with it is not with the sculpture but with me for not being able to stand next to it so as to view its every detail. Thanks for posting. -Randy Quote

55 Fargo Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 who the hang is Jove???? Job........... Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 No, Jove. Job's unlucky cousin. Quote
pflaming Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 1325–75; Middle English < Latin Jov- (oblique stem of compound nominative Juppiter father Jove), akin. to deus god; cognate with Greek Zeús (genitive Diós ) Zeus Patients or "Patience"??? Jove / Jupiter were the supreme gods of Roman and Greek literature. By Jove is another way of saying "BY God". and the phrase 'patience of Jove' = the patience of god. I'm beginning to think that old truck restorers also have the patience of jove. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 by Jove, live and learn..in all my life I always assocaited patience and Job as being were hand in hand...never have cared for the od gods of lore..just too many and they were all quite embellished Quote
chopt50wgn Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 it's not Job or Jove, it's Jobe............. Quote
55 Fargo Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) it's not Job or Jove, it's Jobe............. Well thats how it sounds, and how we in the English speaking world pronounce it. But in the Old Testament, originally written in Hebrew dzoub,translated to English, it is the "Book Of Job", not sure if the King James Version changed to Jobe Edited January 15, 2012 by Rockwood Quote
55 Fargo Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 By Jove,I think we've got it! Now thats original:p............LOL Quote
randroid Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 Gents, I still think it's a pretty neat marble roll regardless of whichever ancient deity may or may not have been credited. -Randy Quote
JIPJOBXX Posted January 15, 2012 Author Report Posted January 15, 2012 Well I already spent a few moments here saying I spent four years in the forth grade trying to learn how to spell and this only proves it!!! Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 I think you should go out and sit on a heap of ash and contemplate just what you have started... Quote
JIPJOBXX Posted January 15, 2012 Author Report Posted January 15, 2012 Oh well no big deal as it the thought that counts-J Quote
Frank Elder Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 It was Dr. Jove seeing he has "patients"............ Quote
