Dinomania!

I bet if dinosaurs hadn't been made extinct, people would be much more cavalier about having their heads chewed off.

Garden Philosophy

There was a couple who lived in the house next door to me for over forty years. They raised a family there, they grew old there. Then, when they eventually became too frail to live independently, they moved to a nursing home, where they both died.

The old man used to have a bench in the garden where he would survey his domain; beans shot up poles and lettuces grew next to carrots. It was a scene of self-sufficiency and fertility.

Now a young couple with children have moved in. The old bench is gone and a trampoline stands where the beans used to grow. I looked at this and thought that it might be nice to come up with some stirring statements about how the transformation of the garden is a metaphor for the circle of life, or even that it is a metaphor for the how the materialism of this generation has done away with the austerity and authenticity of the old couple's generation.

But, to be honest I was mainly wondering how they got that "old people" smell out of the house.

The God Delusion

PREACHER: And on the seventh day, He created man.

VOICE FROM THE BACK: No He didn't!

PREACHER: You don't believe that God created the Universe?

VOICE FROM THE BACK: No I don't.

PREACHER: Well then, if He didn't, who did?

VOICE FROM THE BACK: Charles Darwin.
