Cheryl, Dr. Hugh Nibley was a brilliant (if eccentric) epigrapher who was the subject of many stories that border on the legendary. Epigraphers are people who translate ancient writings. One of his collegues was onced asked "Is Hugh Nibley as good at translating old inscriptions as people say he is?" "No", replied the colleague, "No one is THAT good, not even Hugh Nibley! But he is still amazing. A few of us had spent several days working on an inscription on an Egyptian sarcophagus, but the translation still wasn't quite right. Dr. Nibley came in and took one look at it and immediately told us what it said. Once we knew, we could verify that it said exactly what he had told us." References to Hugh Nibley tend to be the stuff of legend, and are not always understandable, even to his students and his readers. So you were NOT having a "blonde moment".
