Arrrrg! My comments on my own post are going into moderation. When will it end?

Hopefully never. What would we do if the Uncommonly Dense Comedy Train ever came to an end?

It would be like the end of Ocean's 11. We'd all meet in Vegas, celebrate and then poignantly go our separate ways..

I don't care for Vegas. It's obnoxious. Meeting at Waterloo, Belgium would be appropriate, but too expensive. Meeting at Dover, Pennsylvania would be appropriate too, except that it's in rural Pennsylvania and who wants to go there?

You could meet in Dover Delaware, instead. A symbolic link to the big event, and plus there is a great NASCAR track the--the Monster Mile.

Hey, Arden, this one is for you:

I PERSONALLY have witnessed a bona-fide New Testament-level miracle.

I don’t expect you to believe on my say-so, but I have witnessed, not on a stage a hundred feet away, but less than 10 feet away, a woman’s leg grow about 1 1/2 inches. She was born with one leg shorter than the other. There was no song and dance, no raised voices, no spectacle, just a short request to God to heal her leg, and it did. In front of my eyes.

So yes, I believe in miracles.

You might be able to apply this to solving your, umm, little problem.  I know you need more than an inch and a half, but every little bit helps.  Go ahead.  Mrs. Chatterbox will thank you.

I wanted to reply to this one with my testimony regarding David Copperfield making an Air Force jet disappear on my tv, not ten feet from me, but my comments on UD seem to have been getting caught in the spam filter lately, so why bother.

Are they getting dumber, or am I just suffering a bout of TARD burnout?

Someone over there is posting under the nom de tard "Kairos", but so far, they've only hit a couple paragraphs tops per post, so it can't be the Real McTard.

I think Quantum Mechanics reveals the “miraculous” foundation upon which God has built our reality. For though Quantum events obey strict probabilistic rules that gives them a coherent structure in our reality, this does not detract, in any way, that the events are supernatural events in the first place, indeed they are blatantly defying our concepts of time and space every time we observe them happening in experiment.

There's more!

That whole, entire thread is a miracle!  It's a miracle that those people can chew gum and walk at the same time and dress themselves.

It's as if we are right back in the Middle Ages!  If I still had a puppet, I could make a lot of money selling to those rubes over there the old Sacred Fragments Of The One True Cross ™ that I happen to have handed down to me.  If there realy WERE a god, he would resurect one of my puppets from the Bannination Cave - or at least get me a Moses-Type Miracle™ like:  PharohDaveScot !  Let My Puppet Go!

Nothing like sitting around the cave fire swapping stories about the miracles the sun and rain gods do.  Or sitting around the pc swapping stories about the miracles that JC and his dad do for all The Good Christians.

And a Big Welcome Back to BA77 - Maybe the new meds are getting him a little relief from all those voices.

"Miracles assume that God steps into the natural world and intervenes. Thats fine. However, I think people should not be so quick to assume this happens in our our lifetime. Maybe one in a 100 years?"

IMO, the 'natural world' is one infinitely big miracle composed of an infinite number of
little miracles.  That's because you were given an infinite mind just like your maker's.

Hero, that's a UK address and phone numbers.  I'm pretty sure the Wallace at UD is a Yank.  If you have an edit button I suggest you remove the contact information: I doubt the Wallaces of Surrey will appreciate being called in the middle of the night to be accused of tardary.

http://blog.coincidencetheories.com/ is what is linked from his profile in comments on ERV. It certainly seems packed with tardy nuggets, so it's probably the right one.

WAD on the irony of "Imagine":
 
Quote
Is “Imagine” Even Copyrightable?
William Dembski

Yoko Ono, as many readers of this blog by now know, is suing the producers of EXPELLED for using a brief clip of John Lennon’s song “Imagine.” One of the stanzas of the song reads:

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

Is it possible to copyright a song that disavows possessions (copyright being a form of possession)? Once Ono realizes the self-referential incoherence of her suit, I trust she’ll drop it.

Another irony: The principals at Premise Media are contemplating the first line of this verse.

I happen to know that Mrs NoLarjCoks is very, very sweet and tolerant. Take her lack of complaint with a pinch of salt.

After all, she was kind to Richard Hughes who is, and I cannot emphasise this strongly enough, as attractive to women as a particularly nasty road accident between a busload of haemophiliacs and a lorry transporting rotten silage and hypodermic syringes full of warfarin.

I know. Kristine told me. And she's a witch so it must be true.
