Understandably when one capitalizes the word He, one presumes to be referencing the supreme deity known as God. In this situation, that supreme deity is [Cecil Adams](http://www.ipass.net/whitetho/edcecil.htm). Reading through his scriptures, one does have to ask a couple questions. Just who is he? is he even human? How does he know the answers to everything? And could this turn into a debate about Mr. Adams = omniscient = our social construct ideal of God = [Chuck Norris](http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Chuck_Norris/Paradox)? One does have to notice the striking similarities: Chuck Norris is never wrong in the T.V. show, Cecil Adams is [never wrong](http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/You_have_two_cows/25).(scroll down to Straight Dope) Chuck Norris drove a Lamborghini in the T.V. show just because he wanted to, Cecil Adams can always wrest a wrong answer to the correct one by just sheer mind powers My question to you is, has anyone noticed any other similarities that I’m missing? ---

You can’t report your own posts, and most people don’t think to click on another’s poster’s post to do the report. I’ll report it just in case nobody else has. ETA: Or at least you used not to be able to. I see a red triangle in my post now. When did that happen? ---

Chuck Norris can punch through anything with his fist; Unca Cece can punch through all obfuscation with his intellect. 😃 There are many similarities… ---

So do I. I wondered about Kimmy\_Gibbler’s post and how the location could be known. Guests showing locations? I may be unobservant but I’m sure I would have noticed that. ---
