Meanwhile, while I continue to hang 'round here,

I said I wasn't gonna tell ya, but

there really isn't a sound of one hand clapping.

Yes it certainly is round...I once had a large globe....thought the world of it too!. It helped with my Geography....I was brilliant at Geography at school but could not always find the classroom.

"What goes around comes around." That proves that the world is round, doesn't it?

   Is a bird in the hand really worth two in the bush, especially if it's a pidgeon? (you know what they do a lot of, and I don't mean billing and cooing!)

   Do too many cooks really spoil the broth or could it be the recipe?

Yes, Sherri Shepherd comes up with some good ones. The other day, she was saying, Jesus came first before the Greeks... or something like that. She seems to have never taken a history or science course in school.

Bill D that is because you are misquoting, it actually reads "the love of money is the root of all evil"
so who is this Keneval guy?
Mooh, you mus admit God must love idiots, he made so many of them!!
I think the "too many cooks.." one comes from they ALL try to "adjust" the seasoning and it ends up over seasoned.
while we are on the misquotes subject, the "gild the lily" one is also a misquote, it actually doesnt make much sense in that form, but the Full and actual quote is" to gild (cover with gold leaf) refined gold, and Paint the Lily"
it is a Pedantic Sunday morning!!
I am not in the LEAST surprised that That Woman believes the world is Flat, or that JC predated the Greeks and Romans(werent the romans the guys who supervised his crucifixion? oh, Time travelling Romans?) Just because she is a celebricky doesnt mean she has smarts!!

......tell ya, but ostriches do not bury their head in the sand.

   Too many cooks may spoil the broth but many hands make light work.



   A cliche is a truth gone stale with repetition.



I have books full of the first above, and a book of contradictory quotations, and a coupla notebooks of the third.

Okay then, obviously I overestimate or misunderstand The View. From some quick research it seems that they have either well informed participants, or those who are not. Is this part of its structure and appeal?

Well I guess then that it's roundish in places, flattish in others and it has bumpy bits on it.

I did read somewhere that it is closer to a sphere than than a pool ball, but I don't know how true that is.

If I were there, I would be on your side, froggie. But my sister actually likes it, which goes to show that such a point of view is indeed possible.

The Joy of Cooking has a recipe for mincemeat. It call for four pounds of chopped ox heart and 2 pounds of chopped beef suet. To this you add a lot of expensive ingredients like currents, candied lemon peel and nuts.

As Bridget Jones would say, 'Why do they do it, why?'
