I went to [answers.com](http://answers.com) and found this: > [@](#): > > Did God have a mother? > > No, God did not have a mother. This is because God is not a person like we are; He is spirit. He never was born because He always existed. It is hard for our minds to grasp infinity because in our world everything has a beginning and ending, but God said, “I am the Alpha and Omega”. That means that He is the beginning and the end. When Moses asked God,“whom shall I say has sent me?” when he was going to face Pharaoh, God answered, “I AM” That is because God is always in the present. There is no past with God because He is Eternal. It says in Psalm 90:2 Before the mountains were born or before You brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. And again in Psalm 93:2 Your throne was established long ago; you are from all > eternity. So no one made God because He always was and always will be. And then, under “related questions,” it offered this: > [@](#): > > How do I find a g-spot in a female? Any explanations? * * * D’oh ---

Of course Fred was gay. All that time, and he never amde a move on Daphne, or Velma? And that scarf…FLAMER! * * * You say “cheesy” like that’s a BAD thing. ---

Ugh. Nothing like hitting the wrong key and posting early. Probably what happened to BornToRead, too. Anywho…I am also convinced that Shaggy and Scobby were crackheads, and that the other kids were their pushers. They must have dealt to the locals as they traveled, to. This explains how they were able to travel all over the country, and never have to worry about food, gas or lodging. Think about it. Shaggy heared a dog talk to him, he was way to skinny (a symptom of crack addiction…this is why Shaggy and Scooby could never get enough to eat), and, all it took was a “Scooby snack” to make the two of them unstopable warriors. Just look at the way they would drool over these “snacks”! If they were so good, why didn’t Fred, Velma, or Daphne ever eat one? Because a good dealer never samples his own wares. Seriously, I liked the show much better when I was a kid. Now that there are shows like Batman and Superman, much less the Simpsons and Family Guy, I really can’t watch Scooby Doo anymore. Sorry, kelli. * * * You say “cheesy” like that’s a BAD thing. ---

Sealemon88, I can understand not hitting on Velma. But your are right, only a gay would pass up the chance to make it with Daphne. ---

Sealemon88, Glad you liked the link. Yes Star Wars fans are rabid what surprised me is the Land of the Lost fans one notch above them. Just put Sleestack in your favorite search engine 🙂 There is even a LOTL discussion forum and I can’t find a _real_ forum for Scooby Doo. ---

Now I’m confused. _Who did Shaggy’s voice?_ Internet sites say Casey Kasem. I scanned the credits for Casey and my wife Scanned for Shaggy. She saw Shaggy but couldn’t read the voice actors’ name fast enough. I didn’t see Casey anywhere. _Was there more than one person who did Shaggy’s voice?_ (My wife said a bandmember did the voice once but she can’t remember the band’s name) BTW How much do voice actors make?
