Off Topic:

I guess from the lack of posts here after the nice opening that I wasn't the only one having problems getting back into SIville!

Totally OT For The Atheist (just in fun, hope you enjoy)

The Atheist was spending a quiet day fishing in the lake when suddenly his boat was attacked by the Loch Ness monster. In one easy flip, the beast tossed him and his boat at least a hundred feet into the air. The monster then opened its mouth waiting below to swallow them both.

As the man sailed head-over-heels and started to fall towards the open jaws of the ferocious beast, he cried out, "Oh, my God! Help me!"

Suddenly, the scene froze in place and as The Atheist hung in mid-air, a booming voice came out of the clouds and said, "I thought you didn't believe in me!"

"God, come on, give me a break!" the man pleaded. "Just seconds ago I didn't
believe in the Loch Ness monster, either!"

"Well," said God, "now that you are a believer, you must understand that I won't work miracles to snatch you from certain death in the jaws of the monster, but I can change hearts. What would you have me do?"

The Atheist thinks for a minute, then says, "God, please have the Loch Ness monster believe in You also."
God replies, "So be it." The scene starts in motion again with The Atheist falling towards the ravenous jaws of the monster.

The Loch Ness monster folds his claws together and says, "Lord, bless this food You have so graciously provided....."
