Decalogue

Did you know that Catholics and Lutherans have separate commandments for not coveting your neighbour's wife and not coveting your neighbour's field? As a Protestant, though, I am only transgressing ten percent when I yearn for an iPhone. Only, I am a bit worried about what would happen if you were, as it happened, sideways for perfectly legitimate reasons, i.e. maybe you were lying down on a sun lounger or abseiling somewhere (the last one sounds a bit frivolous but really I'm sure I'm quite frequently sideways). The automatic horizontal/vertical sensor would make it harder to read, is my point.

Also I want one of these things to convert tape cassettes to mp3 so much that I may even part with money and buy one. It would be the ideal way to fill up the remaining 27Gb of my ipod.

I also want some things on ebay like the Virgin Mary in rhinestones, or a medal for being a champion in the socialist order (only $35). This medieval seal has an insectoid pelican on it. I recently put something on for 1op which I felt too guilty to throw away, and it just sold for £8.20 including postage. Madness!

Although according to some interpretations it's OK for me to want an iPhone as long as I don't want to deprive someone else of one, so that's alright.
