3. Atheism is a non-prophet organization.

4. If man evolved from monkeys and apes, why do we still have monkeys and apes?

5. The main reason that Santa is so jolly is because he knows where all the bad girls live.

Little Hawk asked:

4.. IF MAN EVOLVED FROM MONKEYS AND APES, WHY DO WE STILL HAVE MONKEYS AND APES?


Okay, since you're descended from your cousin, why is your cousin still around?

You might say: "But I'm NOT descended from my cousin!"

And I say: "Exactly! The monkeys and apes are our remote cousins."

They aren't my questions. I'm just passing them on from a friend in Australia. I don't necessarily believe the popular monkey/ape theory anyway. I think it might be partly true, but I'm not sure. We may have been "seeded" here in some very ancient time by interplanetary visitors. Anything's possible. I don't think "we" know as much as we think we know about that. I suspect we know very little about it.

IF A PARSLEY FARMER IS SUED, CAN THEY GARNISH HIS WAGES?

A sage may be needed to figure this out.

IF A TURTLE DOESN'T HAVE A SHELL, IS HE HOMELESS OR NAKED?

Perhaps a hermit crab should be used as the example as it can move freely from shell to shell.

The turtle is firmly attached to his.

That brings up a thought...

CAN A GROUP OF HERMIT CRABS REALLY BE HERMITS?

If ordered to disobey the order? Well, the latest order is the one that must be followed, right?

But I know what Chongo would do. He'd punch the one who gave the order.
