[QUOTE=wisernow] I feel sorry for the guys who wrote those stories. Had it been me, I would have at least made sure that all questions and loopholes were covered. [/QUOTE] And the Lord said, “I give unto thee the _ex machina_”. 😃 ---

So, how did Noah get the Kangaroos? Did he travel from the mid-east to Australia and collect samples? What about New World animals? How did he save the alpacas? He must have been one busy dood. ---

[QUOTE=Stranger On A Train] And they’re not nearly as uptight about the whole sex and nudity thing. [/QUOTE] I see you haven’t read the King Ambrosius Version, especially the one illustrated by Frank Frazetta. Before that I had no idea how big the Virgin Mary’s boobs were, nor how muscular were her thighs. By the looks of it she stayed a virgin because no penis was hard enough to break her hymen, but we now have an idea what happened to Joseph–I think she ate him. ---

[QUOTE=Pushkin] How many different ways are there to serve fish? [/QUOTE] If fish are anything like shrimp: > [@Bubba](#): > > Anyway, like I was sayin’, shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. There, uh, shrimp kabobs, shrimp creole…shrimp gumbo, panfried, deep fried, stir fried. There’s pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp…shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich… that’s, that’s about it.
