Somewhere something is about to happen.

There it was!

As you go up higher there is less air. The most likely cause is that God is inhaling and you are closer to Him. This also explains storms (even the Greeks knew that), since even God has to exhale eventually.

Meanwhile, most of the universe's troubles can be traced to God's attempt to make a stone bigger than even He could lift. He threw out His back and has been resting (again) recently.

I'm currently sitting in a 40-storey office tower wondering why we can build such monuments to technology, but still require some guy on a rope to clean the windows. As he stares through the window at me (currently typing away on this box amidst piles and piles of paper covering my desk); does he wonder (as I am doing) who has the better job?

To the OP: Paul, I can see by your name that you are a religious fundamentalist. Are you trying to convert the rest of us?

NEVERFLY: Please stop trying to hijack threads with your incessant plea that they make sense.

Big Don: what color are your pancakes?

Is it wrong to drink wine in Germany and beer in Italy?

FWIW a recent article criticized Olmstead (who built parks) as thinking "the aristocrat's taste was the right taste, and ought to be taught to the common man." I went to Kingfish on the river this weekend, and having spent time with the least common denominator, think Olmstead might be on to something... Nevertheless I do like surfing and wish Kentucky had mountains where I could snow ski more often.

franklin-wilkins-watson-crick structure of dna shows 3.4 angstron periodicity these features cause dna to be tuned to galactic exahertz xray synchotronradiation through quantum resonance. doublehelix dna shown by franklin to be antenna for receiving exahertz radiation these implications caused her to be killed so we couldnt know teh TRUTH about our ability to tune into galactic synchotron xray sources. lhc-fermilab-brookhaven are NOT particle detectors these are synchotron xray sources tuned to exahetrz frequency to control dna to make us easy for un mind control artificial intelligence programs thsi is why the internet was started by DARPA and the worldwideweb was invented by CERN. lhc exaherz synchotronradiation is bounced from ionic atmospheric trails from CHEMTRAIL aircraft and amlpified by fermilab why do you think autism rates are rising is because of DARPA and CERN experimenting with dna control through exahertz radiation. STOP lhc-fermilab-brookhaven so humankind can tune into natural galactic synchoton exahertz radiation and realize full mind potential
