A.I. Atheism Incompossible

An atheist was spending a quiet day fishing when suddenly his boat was attacked by the Loch Ness monster. In one easy flip, the beast tossed him and his boat high into the air. Then it opened its mouth to swallow both.

As the man sailed head over heels, he cried out, "Oh, my God! Help me!"

At once the ferocious attack scene froze in place, and as the atheist hung in midair, a booming voice came down from the clouds, "I thought you didn't believe in Me!"

"Well, to tell you the truth," the man pleaded,
"until now, I didn't believe in the Loch Ness monster either."

The Way They Were

Tuesday With Another

Today in 1964 the Beatles had their first #1 hit in the US - I Want to Hold Your Hand. It remained #1 for seven more weeks. Fifteen days later they would appear for the first time in the US on The Ed Sullivan Show. I can recall rushing home from my Methodist Youth Fellowship meeting - not wanting to miss a moment of their performance. Five songs! Of course, with all the screaming, one could hardly hear them singing.

Oh yeah, I´ll tell you something
I think you'll understand
When I say that something
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand

Oh, please, say to me
You'll let me be your man
and please, say to me
You'll let me hold your hand
Now let me hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand

And when I touch you i feel happy, inside
It's such a feeling
That my love
I can't hide
I can't hide
I can't hide

Yeah you, got that something
I think you'll understand
When I say that something
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand

And when I touch you I feel happy, inside
It's such a feeling
That my love
I can't hide
I can't hide
I can't hide

Yeah you, got that something
I think you'll understand
When I say that something
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your ha-a-a-a-a-a-and

Their third performance on Ed Sullivan.
Wow - they look like babies.
