3. You just answered a long sought mystery...

...why the Knights of Ni wanted a shrubbery...they wanted to commune with g..o..d...

4. he means it's all nonsense no matter the method

5. Atheists seem to have a better sense of humor

than "believers" for some reason.

[Ohiya]

6. There are many here among us...

Who feel that life is but a joke.

10. But you and I, we've been through that

And this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now
The hour is getting late

[Brainstormy]

or are you being sarcastic?

[NeoGreen]

8. I don't think SH is being...

...obtuse, and would argue he has never demonstrated the ability to be obtuse.

However, there are many, and many here on DU, who make it their modus operandi.

In other words, it's not the employment of the inadament object that's the problem: it's the anachronism.
