Only on Sundays while He's resting and has time to kill.

(you a George Carlin fan as well, MK?)

Another God question: if He/She/It/They did in fact create us, who created He/She/It/They?

He/She/It/They came through a 4th dimension into nothingness, found it boring and decide dot create a race of sub-intelligent creatures (to them) to pass the time with. Never the less they soon tired of the earthlings and abandoned us to our pitiful existences.

Do people in Australia/New Zealand call the rest of the world 'up over'?

No, they prefer Doublespeak. The rest of the world is referred to as "Un-Down Under."



Any truth to the rumor that the Aussies/Kiwis refer to North Americans as "The Bastards Whose Ship Captain Remembered to Turn Right at the Azores." ?

Hey, if you're willing to buy into scuttlebutt rumors told onboard prison ships bound for the far side of the world, I've got a bridge to sell ya. :P

Speaking of down under, why do conies and kangaroos travel about by hopping ?

They do it to stay vigorous and not turn into phonies or anyhoos.

Speaking of marsupials, why were they always depicted as boxers in cartoons?

Because they're very uncomfortable when used as briefs. (And 'roos always hop because they're only halfway finished evolving the capability to fly.)

NEVER generalize. It is people like you that give stereotyping a bad name.

Speaking of dogs, why are Boxers called Boxers?

Because they used to make boxes (and good ones at that!)before humans first enslaved and then inbred them into servile stupidity. Duh! :P

Did they name the Thesaurus after a Dinosaur with an exceptionally large vocabulary?

No. They named it after the first dinosaur that believed in God.

Why isn't the word palindrome a palindrome?

Because we're hooked on "Phonics", not "Foniks"

Why don't 'restrooms' have beds?
Why do people say they 'slept like a baby', when babies only sleep for 2 hours at a time?

It's one of those strange anomalies of the English language.

Is God bi-polar? (due to the drastic shifts of ideology in the Bible... :roll: )

Probably, as well as bi-partisan, bi-sexual, bi-lingual, bi-weekly, bi-monthly, bionic and bi-annual.

Speaking of God again, do you think He still takes it seriously if Catholics eat a hot dog on Friday?

I don't think so. Some cleric with an eating disorder came up with that one.

Is "ma'am" a euphemism for mammaries? :?

No. They're elusive buggers--they always manage to get away. :P

Why do cigarette lighters warn you to "ignite flame away from face and clothing" when they know you're going to do the exact opposite? (if you're a smoker, of course)
