"Now it is such a bizarrely improbably coincidence that anything so mind-bogglingly useful [the Babel fish] could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as a final and clinching proof of the nonexistence of God."
"The argument goes something like this: 'I refuse to prove that I exist,' says God, 'for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing.'"
"'But,' says Man, 'the Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own argument, you don't. QED.'"
"'Oh dear,' says God, 'I hadn't thought of that,' and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic."
"'Oh, that was easy,' says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white, and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing."
-"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," by Douglas Adams
As for me, I'm a former Marine, an atheist, and a court-reporting student. If you enjoy my modest selection of literature, or if you absolutely hate it, I hope you'll write me a comment and tell me why. If, on the other hand, you're looking for something good to read, I recommend visiting my dear friend MontyP. http://allpoetry.com/user/show/MontyP

bachelorette on February 7, 2006So I'm not angry any more (not that I was ever angry at you, jynx). I got 3x as many good reviews as I did bad reviews. And the bad reviews spurred me to do some editing, and I'm happier with the poem, now. So, thank you.

bachelorette on February 6, 2006
Grrr. Okay, now I'm angry. Have you any idea the kind of bs I took because you wanted to go and promote my poem? I was actually graded! My poem was GRADED! A C, by the way. Yep. It seems people either love it or hate it. Apparently, I'm too smart for my readers, yet I also use my words incorrectly. Yep. I'm pissed off, little man.

I'm happy enough.

bachelorette on January 25, 2006Guess who shares a birthday with Scotland's most famous poet, Robert Burns? You do! As well as Alicia Keys and Virginia Woolf. Congrats! All I got is Reese Witherspoon and William Shatner (though, Bill's cool, I guess).
(they need a Happy Birthday emoticon)
