	BBC News \| UK POLITICS \| Mark Thomas: Taking comedy seriously
		Thomas was named in an e-mail sent by an unnamed civil servant saying Trade and Industry minister Richard Caborn wanted "background/dirt on him in order to rubbish him".
		Thomas' interest in drama was piqued by his appetite for politics, and by the time he became a student, he was doing benefit shows for the miners' strike and became a picket-line activist.
		Thomas added that he tried not to "dump" his politics on his children, but he would not go as far as to allow Nestlé's breakfast cereal in their kitchen.

	Bio: Coach Mark Thomas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Mark Thomas begins his 19th year for the 2005-06 season as the coach of the UW-Stout women's basketball team, took over a perennial loser in 1987, inheriting a team that won only two games in the two seasons before he joined the Stout staff.
		Thomas, who is the dean of WIAC women's basketball coaches, just two years ago toppled the 250-milestone and now has a 310-166 record, the most wins of any coach in WIAC women's basketball history.
		Thomas was named the WIAC coach of the year, the fourth time he earned the honors, and was also named the Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) coach of the year for Division III women's basketball.

	Mark's Use of the Gospel of Thomas
		Mark's reversal of their order might have been caused by his desire to conclude his narrative (2:22) with the statement "New wine is for new wineskins." The passage about the cloth patch must precede the passage about wine in order for that statement to be a triumphant conclusion.
		Mark 4:7-8 are, again, essentially identical to Thomas 9:D-E. One might then wonder what it could have been that motivated an expansion of Thomas 9C by Mark, and the answer may be that the allegorical understanding of this particular element of the parable was of particular interest to Mark.
		Mark's rhetorical questions follow very clumsily after the parable of the sower unless we assume that Mark considers the lamp's illumination to be an equivalent metaphor for sown seed, which is in turn metaphorical for the spreading of Jesus' message (logos).

	Mark's Use of the Gospel of Thomas
		Thomas generally juxtaposes sayings randomly and there is no more reason to think that sayings 65 and 66 were meaningfully connected prior to Thomas having written them down in that order than that Thomas' sayings 66, 67, 68 were meaningfully connected; those three also have nothing to do with each other.
		Mark, he contends, took their hermeneutical principle (4:11-12) and reversed it to show the blindness of those who claimed to be "select and secretly enlightened;" He cites several examples to show that Mark in various ways takes material used by his opponents and turns that material against them through parody or irony (Weeden 1971: 165-168).
		Mark begins his central section with 8:27-33 which apparently revises the Thomas 13 story without any use of the drinking motif, and he concludes his central section with 10:35-45 wherein the metaphor of drinking is crucial, but understood in a very different way than it is understood in Thomas 13.

		Thomas launches a “telephonathon”, with journalists and members of parliament barraging BNFL with questions, essentially asking if the alleged contamination is due to leaky containers in the trains or wider problems with the nuclear plant.
		Even the briefest sketch of Mark Thomas would not be complete without a parenthetical guide for those readers unfamiliar with the linguistic subtleties of south London.
		But joke-telling veers towards trouble-making as Thomas assumes the role of the herbert (slang for a rebel without a cause, prone to drinking) when he wins a scholarship as part of the “deserving poor” to study at an elite school in Sussex.
