I'm disappointed that James 5 remains untranslated so far. Would be interesting to see how they dealt with "Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you."

It looks to me as though this Bible is similar in approach to that other great open translation of the Bible, the lol kitteh bible
