Poetry, Short Prose and Walking

During the Age of Mistaken Mythology, folk like Gabriel believed he could go backwards in time. If he could go forwards, then why not backwards (getting a loan from time he had no intention of repaying)? Of course, being the skeptic of the bunch, he wasn’t sure if he was here anyway, but I will save that nonsense for another episode.

Edgar, the brain of the bunch, told Gabriel to prove it. Brian, not the brain of the bunch, said, “Yeah, prove it!”

When the pizza delivery guy rang the bell, they all had better things to do.

James 4:13-15 NKJV – 13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; 14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. 15 Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.”

During the Age of Mistaken Mythology, Edgar wondered whether adding one to infinity made it bigger (and my grammar checker wondered if I’d ever stop writing this hollow nonsense).

Brian said that it would be bigger by one.

Gabriel said that nothing is bigger than infinity, so no.

(I had an opinion on this, but decided to keep it to myself.)

Brian asked, “How could anyone get an infinite amount of anything anyway?”

Gabriel said, “Just pretend you’ve already got it” (which is what Edgar already did).
