Some dipshit motherfucker. Meat Plow wrote: > The inventor was God and the invention was called The Brain. Yes, She did create the brain, or it created itself, or She created the soul that created the brain, but I am not sure "invented" is the appropriate verb. We don't say a sculptor "invents" a sculpture or a composer "invents" an aria, we say they "create" or "compose" it. Nice bit of humorous proselytizing, though. -- Lew Ordained 2001-07-23 My church permits prostitution, but prohibits proselytizing. Sorry, I'm not allowed to tell you where to join.
