Quote of the day


Received via e-mail from K.R.:

"If the Good Lord wanted us to have a metric system, He would have had 10 Apostles instead of 12."

    Now that's a good one. Of course, there's the 10 Commandments...

    The metric system is French. Nuff said. Besides, I like living in a tradition preserving society like America. HA

    8 Fingers, 2 digits, just to be pedantic.

    Plus, there were 13 apostle's in total. St Matthias was selected by the remaining apostles to replace Judas Iscariot.

    I visited his tomb in Trier, Germany last year. Very humbling experience.
