  A LEG TO STAND ON

  Evolutionists assume that snakes evolved from lizards, but they are hard put to explain why lizards lost their legs. In 1973 an influential Harvard University study asserted that snakes evolved from lizards to conserve energy by slithering instead of walking. Recently, however, scientists at the University of California, Irvine, put that theory to the test. They outfitted some black racer snakes with tiny oxygen masks, put them on treadmills, and measured how much energy they actually do expend in slithering. The results: The snakes either used the same amount of energy as, or up to seven times more than, legged lizards walking the same distance.

  when da ladies ask "is that a nachash in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me"

  You mean, like, when they say, "I knew your nachash was big, I knew it was pink, but what's with the eyes and tongue...?"

  I don't suppose anyone has a scan of "New Heavens and a New Earth" (1953) page 81 which has an illustration of Eve and a snake with legs?...

  OK, let's see if I can get this to work...

  I just realised that I didn't explain the above biblical theme:

• Noah and the vineyard
• Solomon's Ecclesiastical eating, drinking and vanity
• Water being turned into wine
• Shared cup of wine at the Last Supper
• Cup of God's wrath in Revelation
• Canaan was cursed for seeing granddad all floppy
• Solomon realised his vanity and commenced "blowing in the wind"
• Well, they were merry old souls, weren't they, and knew their firkins
• One in twelve men will find themselves betrayed by their closest buddy at some point in their lives - hence the advent of the purple diamond
• The cup accompanies flaming swords again - we finish as we start
