Can I also make my own canonical version of the bible?

[–] PoastRotato@lemmy.world 30 points 2 weeks ago

Sure. Just add it to the pile.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, there's an XKCD for that too. Just change "standards" to "bible versions"

If you find enough people who agree to your canon

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This is objectively the best canon, and everyone shall agree

Everyone knows the doctor that created Mary Shelley in Frankenstein's novel doesn't have a name

Book's within arms reach but can't be bothered reading it cover to cover to confirm... but plausible.

The book is the captain's retelling of the ravings of the doctor as he lies dying on the ship. Followed by his retelling of the monster's story.

I don't recall the doctor's name ever being mentioned.

He’s just « The Doctor »

The creature (to avoid the M word) only learned speaking while listening to a family who lived in a cottage in the woolds and we get so much back story about them, it's amazing

And then a gorgeous Arab woman rolls up with a couple of servants in tow and that's how he learns to read. That book is plain nuts.
