Lacking anything original...

I will borrow from the genius that is Douglas Adams. This has been my favorite part of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy since the very first time I read it many years ago and I was very sad it didn't make it into the movie (which I love, so don't take that as a shot against the movie). So I'm going to share it here:

The Babel Fish...

"Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mind bogglingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as a final and clinching proof of the nonexistence of God.

"The argument goes something like this: 'I refuse to prove that I exist,' says God, 'for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing.'

" 'But,' says Man, 'the Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED.'

" 'Oh dear,' says God, 'I hadn't thought of that,' and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.

" 'Oh, that was easy,' says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.

Boredom has prevailed.

Quite frankly I have no reason to start a blog and yet here I am bored out of my mind in the wee hours of the morning creating one. It’s true, I probably could have chosen something much more productive to do with my extra time, like tackling the towering pile of dirty dishes in the kitchen. Nope. Instead I am going to start a blog in which I will post….

Well, I have no idea what I will post.

Most likely this will become a tomb for all of my sporadic thoughts, since I am no one of interest to anyone and do not fancy myself a writer with anything to contribute. I truly pity anyone who feels the need to subject themselves to the horrors that will be posted here. I can only hope that no one suffers from internal hemorrhaging as a result.
