  • Yesterday was the second night in a row that I started to get undressed only to discover a magnetic pincushion full of pins still attached to my wrist. As I stared down at it, I had a vivid flash of, as a child, laughing at my mom for forgetting she had a pincushion on her wrist when we were going somewhere. I suppose there are worse ways to become like one’s parents!
  • You can enjoy things which aren’t great art. It’s okay. In fact, it’s natural. If people could just accept that just because something isn’t great art doesn’t mean it’s bad, and that saying something they like isn’t great art isn’t a personal insult… why, then, a lot of stuffy people would have more fun and a lot fewer arguments about Harry Potter would occur.
  • As Inspector Pitt’s housemaid skillfully elicited information from said Inspector’s Sergeant by means of freshly baked cake (in my audiobook), I thought that truly, baked goods are man’s downfall. Of course the Bible can’t be literally true. If that Eden story were to be taken AT ALL seriously, Eve would have given Adam apple pie.

Who says Even didn’t give Adam apple pie? Unless my memory deceives me, the Bible doesn’t say anything about how they ate the fruit, just that they ate it. Of course, it also doesn’t say anything about apples, and the closest the Bible ever comes to describing pie is in a verse I’ve forgotten now, but it had to do with a pastry-like treat made from figs.

Well, if we’re being HONEST, pie wasn’t invented until after the colonization of America. So there’s unlikely to be any pie in the Bible.

But there you go again! The Bible is logically false, because HOW could Eden have been so great if there was no pie? ;)

Hey, we’re talkin’ the mideast here. They had baklava instead.
