a billion seconds ago = 1971 I should learn not to forward e-mails without double checking. One day a group of scientists got together and decided that man had come a long way and no longer needed God. They picked one scientist to go and tell Him that they were done with Him. The scientist walked up to God and said, "God, we've decided that we no longer need you. We're to the point that we can clone people and do many miraculous things, so why don't you just go on and get lost." God listened patiently and kindly to the man and after the scientist was done talking, God said, "Very well! How about this? Let's have a man making contest." To which the man replied, "OK, great!" But God added, "Now we're going to do this just like I did back in the old days with Adam." The scientist said, "Sure, no problem" and bent down and grabbed himself a handful of dirt. God just looked at him and said, "No, no, no. You go get your own dirt!"

>>Scratch that. I enjoy being pedantic. Well done. And, continuing along that line, the Congress is the sole appropriative body for spending by the federal government, not the President. Aside, it would have been a good joke if TP hadn't butchered it by changing "at the rate the government spends money" to "at the rate the Bush administration spends money." But, we've come to expect no less than the worst from TP. O.J. Three engineering students were gathered together discussing the possible designers of the human body. One said, "It was a mechanical engineer. Just look at all the joints." Another said, "No, it was an electrical engineer. The nervous system has many thousands of electrical connections." The last said, "Actually, it was a civil engineer. Who else would run a toxic waste pipeline through a recreational area?"
