I just wished Ms. Kara a happy birthday, and I told her that her present was still coming. She said, "That's ok. I'll be celebrating my birthday for a few more weeks."
Zoe: Uh huh. River, honey? He's putting the hair away now. River: It'll still be there... waiting.

Spike's Bitches 37: You take the killing for granted.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I seem to have succumbed to this cold I've been fighting on the eve of a routine DRs appointment. Can I can in sick to my doctor?

Genesis' order is: land plants, the sun and moon, aquatic life and birds, land animals, humanity.
Huh? Granted, there seems to be earth before sun, but it looks to me like: heaven and earth, light and dark, sky, land, then vegetation.
And I'm going away to prep for class before you get a chance to respond. Sorry!

Have y'all seen Ricky Gervais' stand-up routine about Genesis?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Third day: land vegetation (v11-12). Fourth day: sun and moon and stars (v14-18 - note that, by a neat trick, evening and morning were already rocking around before the invention of the sun). Fifth day: aquatic life and flying birds (v20-22). Sixth day: land animals (v24-5), then humanity (v26-30; we needed more in the way of operating instructions).
The stuff on the first and second day doesn't include living things, and therefore doesn't have much bearing on the evolutionary time sequence. Neither does the creation of the sun and moon, of course, but since he got started on plants the day before I included them.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

We're the ones responsible for programming the TiVo. It takes some training.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Do the two different accounts of creation in Genesis agree on this?

Kangaroos TiVo their young! In times of drought, they can hold onto a fertilised egg and pause its development until times are better. They lack the rewind function, though.

How about skipping commercials? That'd come in handy for, say, adolescence.

Our wings are not tired.
How did sun get created after plants? Isn't photosynthesis essential for plant growth?
