In [this Thread, post #1](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=678290) you asked Cartooniverse what the term immaculate conception meant to her.

I don’t want to hijack that thread, but I’m curious, what does the term mean to you?

In terms of the meaning from a theological perspective, I get that the concept refers to Mary’s estate, rather than the specific act of the big fella dropping his load in her (or what have you).

No, silly. It was Joseph’s estate. Women couldn’t own property back then.

I think the goal is to eventually call everyone in the world an idiot, at which point _Smurfette_ there will feel like the smartypants-est person ever.
