No one knows for certain what languages Jesus wrote and spoke.
Aramaic yes but maybe Hebrew and Greek as well?
This image is edited from an inscription with the name Yeshua in Aramaic.
Here's an example of the related Syraic script used in a mosaic.

Paul Felton's TEN (Anti) Commandments
It is possible to write a funny critique of typography!
Have you seen this book by Paul Felton
?
Yes this is the same book not 2.
One side has the "Ten commandments of Typography" for Students and Designers but the other side has Felton being joyously irreverent about guidelines for typography.
This is a must read! Really! Do make an effort to borrow or buy it!

100 OZ %
I've created a new version of my 100 % OZ design
Here's a direct link to RED Bubble for you to use or share with friends
100 % OZ by Julie Vaux
You can get a variety of different colors for backgrounds and there's a sticker too.
Got an "ethnic" friend who's born and proud of being Aussie where ever their parents or grandparents came from?
Maybe you havea "koori" friend or workmate?
Give them as a sticker or tee so they can visually rebuke a certain kind of bigot!

Kamisaka SEKKA at AGNSW
AGNSW
the Art Gallery of NSW currently has an exhibition of works by Kamisaka SEKKA and other Rimpa artists.
Here's one of the many fine works on display which include fabric designs, lacquer, ceramics, screens, and prints as well as books and paintings.
The exhibition is on two levels. You have to buy youR tickets at the main lobby desk and then go downstairs and after viewing there upstairs again. There are escalators and lifts.
Enjoy viewing these works if you're in sydney from June to August 26 2012.
Do note the exhibition is briefly closed July 23 and 24 as some of the more fragile works have to go back into storage to be replaced by others but your ticket covers both shows so you can visit twice!
finally here's the cover of the catalogue:
