Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

Now all we need is for that to, um, hook up with the flying spaghetti monster and we'll have a new creation myth!

wouldn't Adam have had knowledge, just not the knowledge of good and evil.
My basic stance with any Christians who want to debate me on my faith is to state upfront that I am unable to KNOW God's will and unwilling to be so arrogant as to claim my understanding of all God meant in the past or means in the present. I can pray and do my best to live a good life.
That usually bothers them enough to give me time to excuse myself.

They were all right feet, except the latest one is left.
Oh, this one broke the pattern? Rats. I'm relieved I didn't hallucinate the whole thing. But where did I hear about it?

Ewww!!! Elective surgery to increase height
Limb lengthening is a surgical technique that can be done to treat medical conditions or make someone taller for cosmetic reasons. The thighbones are sawed apart and an implant is attached in the break to add length to the bone. According to a Details magazine article, around 4,000 people around the world have had cosmetic limb lengthening (CLL) surgery. Apparently, it's an increasingly popular procedure for medical tourists who go to places like Brazil, China, and Egypt where the surgery is cheaper.
Now, surgery to reduce height I can understand....

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
People who think the US should be a Christian theocracy probably feel persecuted because it isn't.
When I was in the Freak-Ass Church, we talked about this all the time, and what "being persecuted" meant -- and I assume still means -- to us (them) was that when we tried to proselytize, people weren't interested in what we were selling.
Plus, the whole thing where Christians were (are?) mocked for being uncool, non-drinking, non-partying virgins.
Occasionally, we'd get letters from missionaries we supported who would talk about being the victims of actual, you know, physical violence, and we'd have our viewpoint adjusted momentarily that, yeah, nobody is assaulting us for peddling God, so we're NOT REALLY PERSECUTED.

I just realized that other than the door-to-door Mormons (who are always very polite), the only type of proselytizing I get is always people telling me I need to accept Jesus because I am obviously going to Hell because of the way I dress. Which doesn't make me want to spend time talking to them, go figure.
