Vendyl Jones

כ׳ בטבת ה׳תשע״א (Monday 27 December 2010)

Dr. Vendyl Jones, possibly the inspiration for the Indiana Jones character, died today. Of all the crazy and interesting characters I’ve met, he was one of the most memorable. In fact, it’s because of him that I first learned the Hebrew word טִיפּוּס, which means a character or a personality (ie, a personage – not [...]

Aphorism #3
