We Get Mail

Well, not so much we get mail as I get mail, seeing as how the other contributors to this fine institution have long since quit contributing. It's all Andy, all the time! Yeeha!

Anyway, so I got mail, in response to this post, from Mary Cantell (who, aside from being the subject of said post apparently also likes to Google for her own name with wild abandon!).

Mary says:

Sorry to appear "brainless," But to quote the Creator, "The wisdom of men is foolishness to God."

(The told Noah that he was brainless, too.)

I see that Mary's reading comprehension ranks right around the same level as her grasp of science. Dear, sweet Mary, my love, I never said you were brainless. I never said that you appeared brainless.

I said you were wasting that wonderful gray matter in your head (a part of the body often referred to as "the brain," hence supporting my previous defense of my statements).

However, given your penchant for quoting "the Creator" and for thinking Noah was a real person, I might reconsider my position on the existence of your brain, if you think it'll help you sleep at night.
