My Biography

My Beliefs

My more serious diary:
A Walk Through the
Valley of the Shadow

Today we celebrate the birthday of Joel Asaph Allen, born in 1838. He was a biologist who invented Allen's Rule, which states that short chubby critters live better in the arctic regions and long skinny critters live better in the tropics.

And now for today's logical quandary: Would it be right to invite a couple of gay guys to a stag party?

Maybe yes, because they're both guys.

Maybe no, because they're a couple.

Oh well, I'm not planning a stag party anyhow. Just exploring the outer limits of logic.

And if a priest can turn a little cracker into Jesus Christ, why can't I turn a potato chip into Abraham Lincoln?

But no fair making fun of somebody else's religion when clergymen of my own denomination are laying death threats onto each other over the utterly irrelevant partnership choice of a bishop over in New Hampshire.

Happy Saturday!

Oh by the way, if you're one of those insufferable snooty folks who think
you've just gotta have a (gasp) banner (shudder) to link to me,
I suppose I'll let you download this one for the purpose, if you really insist.
