Bill Nye, the Science Guy, delivered a speech at a Waco community college where he wowed the crowd with lots of fun science facts, including pointing out that the Bible isn't entirely factualy when it comes to science. Well, actually, that part didn't go down well with the entire audience:
The Emmy-winning scientist angered a few audience members when he criticized literal interpretation of the biblical verse Genesis 1:16, which reads: “God made two great lights — the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.”
He pointed out that the sun, the “greater light,” is but one of countless stars and that the “lesser light” is the moon, which really is not a light at all, rather a reflector of light.
A number of audience members left the room at that point, visibly angered by what some perceived as irreverence.
“We believe in a God!” exclaimed one woman as she left the room with three young children.
“God made two great lights — the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.”
Plus the fact that the moon isn't alway out at night. So night doesn't get governed that well....
As a general rule, I think it's best to stay away from religion when in Waco.

And sometimes you see it during the day. Bad moon! No biscuit!
Oh! A woman mistook the other short-haired black chick in the room for me this morning. I'm in the dealership waiting room after having rented a car, waiting for them to have it ready.
The rental chick with whom I'd dealt comes back and asks for me by last name. I start to stand up as the other black woman does too. Rental chick looks at her and gestures for her to go get the car. The black woman looks confused for a second and asks her to repeat the last name. Hearing it, she sat back down, and I got up.
Rental chick asked me pissily "Why didn't you answer when I called your name?" "I started to stand up," I said. What do I know? Other people have had my surname in the past and will continue to in the future. Also, I'm not Mrs.
The mistake was funny. The pissiness was...well, she strode quickly to the car, with me limping behind. She paused once to look back at me and then kept charging forward and waited twitchily at the car for me to catch up.

Thank you! I was wondering if I had missed something. Particularly since this comment came right after the sucking on the sweet and salty balls comment.

P.S. If you are writing to point out that "Canadian" was on the list twice, please be aware that that is because I hate them double. If you are writing to point out that "Star-Bellied Sneetches" was misspelled, then please be aware that I also hate nit-pickers.

Well, it's making up the time for when it takes a night out. Besides, that sun isn't always on the job. Eclipses, anyone?

You forgot the happy ending where you kravved her, she peed herself, and she limped back, pissy in a whole new way.
