It appears to be the majority of Doctors most Americans can afford...

This is not what I thought they meant when they said universal healthcare.

Child: Mom can we have universal healthcare? Mom: We have universal healthcare at home. The healthcare we have at home:

It’s easy, pick any doctor in your network.

Excuse me, my esteemed aerial cephalopod, but I don't see a doctor in front of your name. Those sodas didn't end up hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt getting their doctorates to be dissed by you.

I'm far too modest to mention my 6 years at Harvard Medical School followed by a 4 year residency at Johns Hopkins and, of course, my 134 published papers in medical journals.

a 4 year residency at Johns Hopkins

I smoked pot with Johnny Hopkins... It was me, Johnny Hopkins, and Sloan Kettering... And they were blazin' that shit up everyday!

I didn’t go to college for eight years just to be called Mister Pepper

Me trying to explain the backstory of Britain's longest-running sci-fi series

Doctor:I'm the doctor. Me: dr what? Doctor: no no you're supposed to say who. Why did you say what. Doctor who intro starts and the title is "the carbonated waters of Mars"

You missed Professor Peppy.

I know there's probably more, but i feel like this one is important.

He's not a real doctor!

Back in my soda drinking days, Dr. Thunder was pretty legit.

It's a damn good replacement for Dr. Pepper, even today. Hell of a lot cheaper if you ever buy in bulk.

Fucked up in the crib sippin dr perky

Can you imagine if you went to the E.R. and were told your attending physician was Dr. Perky?

I respect any soda that puts in the time and effort to earn a doctorate degree. You know who I don't respect? Mr. Pibb, who can can take his undergrad ass and fuck right off.

Excuse me, but Pibb now identifies as Xtra, not Mr. I think we should respect their gender identity.

It doesn't take a medical degree to know that stepping on a cushion would be comfy.

In the name of the Coke, the Pepper, and the Holy Sprite.

Not pictured: Dr. Smooth

(although it's been a long time - maybe they don't make this anymore?)

My favorite dumb Dr. name was "Dr. Furr's" from Furr's supermarkets in the 80s

There is some erotic Dr. Furr fan fiction that will not surprise you.

I’m not sure how Roy Furr would feel about that. I wish I could find a photo of some old guy from the 60s to link but apparently it’s also the name of an Internet marketing person.

Dr PeePee when

As a former soda enthusiast I will always die on this hill. Dr. Pepper is Dr. Pepper. No, your Mr. Pibs and Dr. Thunders are not "basically the same thing," just give me a damn root beer instead!

Doctor Snag down there trying to hide from the police after the college students made a game out of mixing him 1:1 with whiskey and making pledges drink until they fall over.

If that's real, and not AI, that wins. Store brand of the year.

*ravenous

It's ravenous wolves, not ravening. WTH does that even mean?

Okay but it still says 'ravenous' in the original.

There are multiple translations of the bible. Anything but the original Hebrew is a translation after all.

TL;DR: Ravening seems common in the King James Version and some of it's derivatives, while Ravenous is common in more modern translations, even the strictly literal ones.

From Bible Gateway:

  • KJ21, ASV, BRG, DARBY, DRA, GNV, JUB, KJV, AKJV, NMB, RGT, WEB, YLT say ravening (13)
  • AMP, DLNT, EHV, ESV, ESVUK, EXB*, LSB, LEB, MEV, MOUNCE, NABRE, NASB, NASB1995, NCB, NKJV, NRSVA, NRSVACE, NRSVCE, NRSVUE, OJB, RSV, RSVCE, & TLV say ravenous (22)
  • AMPC says devouring (1)
  • CSB & HCSB say ravaging (2)
  • CEB, EXB*, GW, NOG, & NLT say vicious (4)
  • CJB, NIRV, NLV, NTFE, & VOICE say hungry (5)
  • CEV says "wolves who have come to attack you" (1)
  • ERV & ICB say "really dangerous like wolves" (2)
  • EASY says "like hungry wild dogs" (1)
  • EXB says "dangerous like wolves [underneath/inwardly they are ravenous/vicious/ferocious wolves]" (1, only one to say vicious)
  • GNT says wild (1)
  • ISV says savage (1)
  • PHILLIPS says greedy (1)
  • TLB says "wolves and will tear you apart" (1)
  • MSG gets rid of the metaphor entirely (1?)
  • NCV, EXB* say dangerous (1)
  • NET says voracious (1)
  • NIV, NIVUK, EXB* say ferocious (1)
  • WE says "wolves, bad animals that kill sheep" (1)
  • WYC says "wolves of raven" (1)

That's 13 which say ravening, 22 that say ravenous, and 27 that say something else.


Lets ignore the frivolous rewritings and retranslations and go with popular books. This list is biased toward new versions because it's partly based on bestselling versions, but if you have readership data, I'd love to see it! In no particular order: The New International Version (NIV), the King James Version (KJV), the New Living Translation (NLT), the Common English Bible (CEB), the New American Standard Bible (NASB), the New English Translation (NET), the New Revized Standard Version (NRSV), and the English Standard Version (ESV).

  • NIV: Ferocious
  • KJV: Ravening
  • NLT & CEB: Vicious
  • NASB & NRSV & ESV: Ravenous
  • NET: Voracious

King James seems alone with Ravening, but I know many people are King James only, so that's pretty common. New International Version not being either Ravening or Ravenous surprised me, but there you go. Ravenous is definitely common in modern versions, including the NASB which seems to be very literal.
