Random Quote
What was God doing (in His Time) for an eternity into His past before He Created the Universe Ex Nihilo? God existed by Himself through an Eternity before the Creation without needing a Universe. Why did He suddenly desire to create the Universe?

Oh pointy pods, oh pointy pointy...
I wonder if there are any more poems about cephalopods, because there probably should be.

It looks like a very pointy, spotted fingernail. Definitely time for new glasses.

Like a cute little sperm (and that bring in my memory something about the tales and childrens and angry mother in a previous post...)

Adapting a verse from England's Greatest One-Armed Poet:
O pointy squid, o pointy pointy,
Anoint my head, anointy-nointy.
