   Guessing that means I don’t have to worry about the bite of the Fast Loris, then.

   To show that at least 40 of your gods are inferior to the God of Israel. Good luck with your religion!

   I knew a number of musicians that played in that band, particularly a trombone player. He was definitely top-notch. But I too have made jokes about the silly mechanical rinky-tink “jazz” style of their music, and as a musician, have in the past jokingly imitated that style to get a laugh.

   1 Corinthians 13:13 states, “So now faith, hope, and [selfless] love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is [selfless] love."

   Seems that you don’t understand bureaucracy. You can’t just go against the rules, regardless of whether or not it makes sense. Watch the move, Brazil, to see a scary example of bureaucracy. BTW, I have worked in the Fed. Govt. for 12 years, and I learned the hard way you can’t go against the rules. I had major anxiety problems about 7 years ago because of trying to deal with those rules to do “the right thing.” Go glad I am about to retire. And also fortunate for MYSELF, I gave up trying to fight bureaucracy on the job.

   Most people do not know, that in the Bible, the Greek word translated “sorcery” is pharmakeia, where we get the word pharmacy.

   Assuming that earth’s radius is 6371 kilometers (6,371,000 meters), and there is no air (causing friction), if a hole is made from the earth’s surface to the center, the time to get to the center from the surface is t = (2h/g), or t – √(2*6,371,000meters)/9.8meters/second) = 1,140 seconds = 19 minutes. However, even if a hole were cut to the center, it would probably have air (friction). Also, g (gravity) would not be a constant value. It would become less and practically go to zero as it reaches the center, assuming gravity is caused by the ENTIRE mass of the earth.

    Is that a face on Ziggy’s ice cream in the cone?
