...have big, pointed teeth? If so, what does a vegetarian need with teeth like that? If they don't have big teeth, then they're not really grizzly bears, are they?

I would also love to know if Adam and Eve are shown with belly buttons or not. If they have them, then why is God shown as a liar? They weren't born, so when did they get their belly buttons?

If they don't have belly buttons, then let's look at their feet: do their feet ahve calluses or not? If not, how can they walk? Without calluses, your feet will just bleed. If they do have calluses, then how and when did that happen? Calluses imply a past history, just like belly buttons.

In fact, all parts of a body imply a past history. Bodies have to grow and develop and toughen before they can be used. All living beings depend on their past history and can't function without it. Hence if Adam and Eve are just shown as standing, then it has to be asked: when did they learn to stand?

There's also a glaring contradiction in the article:

"We are going to answer the questions Bryan wasn't prepared to, and show that belief in every word of the Bible can be defended by modern science."

and then later:

As Ham later tells me, the conclusions of modern science are not to be trusted, as they are biased by the fickle reasoning of man and a modern antagonism toward faith.

So how can they defend the word of the Bible with modern science, if they don't even believe in it?

The most amazing thing about this story is how much money is being put into pure stupidity.

...is just stupid. Hetero men are crowding into gay bars? And lesbians are right behind them? I don't think so.

...if we hadn't run into the barn and set it on fire.

That's just what the Senator said.

...then he's vulnerable to exposure. It's possible that the press--or even fellow Republicans--could find some way to goad him so that he blows up public.

Hell, Cheney might have it done.

...was all about possibilities, as were the Beatles. The Beatles were getting better all the time, and every new album was like a revolution. And if Sargent Pepper was such a incredible and magical album, and it sure seemed like it was at the time, then what incredible album might the boys come up with next?

Well, after SP, the Beatles sort of fell back and then eventually broke up. So did the 60s; bright promises segued into a dreary run of assassinations, riots, drug abuse, Charlie Manson, Patty Hearst. Disco came in and then the yuppies and then Nixon, Reagan, and now Bush. So SP stands in memory as the highwater mark of the failed promise of the 60s as well as of the Beatles themselves.

Personally, I still enjoy the Beatles but I could live without them. The Beatles were for happy, optimistic people, and I'm not like that anymore. I'd rather listen to Hank Williams or the Carter family these days. That's the stuff I understand now.

...and yet so true.

...how much I understand this article!

...and America is based on freedom. That's the big difference.

However that doesn't make us better than the Romans. We'll rise or fall or do better or worse depending on how we use our freedom. For instance, right now we're choosing to behave like idiots in the matter of Iraq. Maybe someday we'll choose to do better--or maybe we won't. Whatever we do in the future, it will be our choice. That's what freedom is about.

...Heaven will be a great white mansion in a sunny land like Italy. Tony will stroll elated into the mansion, walking on air, with a wondering, unbelieving look. The halls will be full of happy, swirling women and dancing children. Tony will walk on and on until he comes to the very center of Heaven. Now he sees the back of a giant white head and he knows that's God.

The head turns around and he sees that God has the face of Paulie Walnuts--complete with Paulie Walnut's 'wings.' And God/Paulie glares down at Tony with a digusted grimace and he says, "Ton! Whatcha ever do for ME? Where was my cut, Ton?" And Tony cringes and cries and it all goes black that's the end.

...to the orange trees. What, is it fall already?

...Berke should have a girl gone wild next week.

Then, a clueless midwestern couple in t-shirts and shorts who believe that Saddam had WMD, was behind 9/11, and that their gas guzzling careening SUV is not only absolutely safe but also absolutely green.

And then a blue haired librarian. I say that only to shake some people here up.

Oprah fans vs. Jerry Springer fans vs. American Idol fans vs. whatever that dancing show is.

A guy who blows up whenever guys are knocked or when he sees a woman dating a 'bad boy.'

Brave Sir Anonymouses.

And so on. There are plenty of living stereotypes out there and they are alive and well and ready to be used.

And no doubt someone will slam you for it. But it seem that we don't trust thinking anymore; we think thinking is spinning.

...has to be the dumbest word in politics. And yet Camille lives by it.
