> [@Eve](#): > > "Lord, I love you and I need you, come into my heart, and give me a million bucks and make me look like Geena Davis, only when she was young and cute, not now, 'cause she’s getting a little creepy-looking Shouldn’t that be “and I don’t want some my boyfriend getting genetically bonded with a fly and vomitting acid everywhere either. But, if Thine angels are buff guys, tell them that earth girls are easy.” ---

> [@Eve](#): > > Ist das so? Ich spucke auf Feder Ihrer Tante vom großen Auto in den Wolken! “Is that so? I spit on feather of your aunt of the large car in the clouds!” \* **Eve** , fun’s fun, but you lay off of his duck-aunt’s sky Buick. Okay? \*babelfish ---

> [@Excalibre](#): > > Shouldn’t “Qui scivit?” mean “who knew?”? “Cognovit” might have been the better idiom than “scivit”, but I’m delighted to have furnished as much amusement as I did. Mind you, it also taxed _my_ Latin to the very hilt. 🙂 I don’t seem to get glurge email any more. I think I scared my sister off. The one about the true nature of female beauty was a doozy. Still, on the whole, I’m just as glad. And, **Eve** , you keep fightin’ off those oppressors, ya hear? First it’s puttin’ up cross-shaped memorials to dead people, then it’s people makin’ like those little cuties in the Chick tract, y’know, the little girl explaining earnestly and with them big old eyes about how Jesus has prepared her a mansion in his Father’s house and she really wants her friend to come too? It just never ends. More power to you! ---

Would be better to subtly alter the message(to anti-god), so glancing over it wouldn’t show any differences…see how long it gets forwarded with the change [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/eve-vs-glurge-part-ii/327009.md?page=1)
