Talk to the animals....

I just watched a documentary on animal planet about a retired South African Park ranger, Tonie, who rescued a baby hippo and raised it on his farm. He was trying to mate it with a wild hippo who was eventually shot by neighboring farmers. When this happened, Tonie said "This is why I prefer animals to humans. God made a mistake when he created man." I don't know if God makes such big mistakes, but I often feel the same way. Animals are generally better. What can I say? I'm South African.

I would like a hippo, but I don't think he'd like the snow.

Watch this brief snippet of a wild hippo who opens the door to Tonie's house and eats at the kitchen table! Tonie's wife talks to the hippo and she actually obeys like a house pet! Incredible.

This is hilarious...

Why are Christians portrayed as idiots? Because so many of them are idiots. Case in point, Sherry Sheppard on the view today refused to believe that there were in fact ancient Greeks who were around before Christ (BC). She hadn't quite heard of the whole BC, AD thing.

This isn't to say that there aren't numerous deep and intelligent Christians around. I know many. But this religion, like all religions, attracts some serious morons.
