With apologies to Dr Seuss...
The bat who's a cat,
Came to visit one day,
And read all the posts -
Read them all that fine day.
And after some time,
Spent scratching his head,
The bat who's a cat,
Felt things had to be said.
So he took to his keyboard,
To spread the true word -
That Hawking was wrong -
Was away with the birds !
That Higgs and Bob Wilson,
Were nothing but goofs -
He knew this for certain,
He needed no proof.
He posted all over -
Over here, over there,
Not often on topic,
But he didn't care.
He'd use the third person,
When the first should be used -
We'd wonder what caused this,
Could it be too much booze ?
The sentences rambled,
Their meaning unclear-
The grammar confusing,
The syntax - just queer !
We'd try to engage him,
To explain how things are,
But nothing would sway him,
Oh good grief, not by far !
In the end though, it's best
Just to type out a "lol"
'Cos the bat who's a cat,
Is also a troll.

Re: The uses of religion
Yeah I don't know that I could ever willingly bring myself to eat a chicken's foot or a pig's brain.
I eat calves' brains when they serve them in restaurants in France.
It's always a mooving experience.

Could there be any greater conceit, than for someone to believe that the universe has to be simple enough for them to be able to understand it ?

Re: Caption Competition
"Ok, so it's agreed - we'll stick with 'Christ', but we'll drop the "Jesus" - it sells well in the ethnic demographic, but we're looking for broader appeal here."

Uxbridge English Dictionary
We have a brilliant comedy game show on the radio over here in the UK, called I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue.
One of the games is Uxbridge English Dictionary, where the panelists provide new definitions for old words.
I was very happy to find a website with a lot of them listed:
http://www.alspcs.com/main.html
Enjoy :-)
