I like it! I’m going to share that with my son. My wife got a kick out of it. For some reason, it doesn’t down load unless I click on it–but great illustration of how need drives character.

Just google ‘Pontius Puddle’ and then click on the ‘Images for Pontius Puddle’ link … and then peruse to heart’s content. I downloaded it from there.

Anyone who has ever seriously considered Quantum Mechanics, General Relativity, and what happens to the ice-cream that slips down the outside of a Minkowski Cone, will realise that the present cannot be a precise instant because of the quantum uncertainties involved in measuring any distances of 10^-43 light-seconds or less.
Within that distance things – even time – get smudged; for, as I like to phrase it, our Creator, who keeps all things in being, is a bit short-sighted, hence things get a bit fuzzy close up; very precisely fuzzy, though, so we can calculate from Heisenberg’s mis-named Uncertainty Principle the precise strength of reading glasses He needs; opthalmologist Dr Richard Dawkins has now come up with a figure of precisely +3.14159265358979323846 dioptres, suggests He has been drinking so much He’s permanently pi-eyed, (which explains the platypus) and advises Him not to take up watchmaking.

Is it bad that I am hung up on the fact that God can’t spell “of course”?

Translation error. I’m certain it was inerrant in the original autograph!

Not sure I’m “getting” very many of those layers, but the situational humor and picture alone make it fun too.
Reminds me of a couple of far sides that I bet are plastered on anthropology professor doors - speaking of having fun with evolutionary misconceptions!

Nah they’re evolving too. A broad backside will surely make sitting on branches more comfortable.

At a debate I attended, Eugenie Scott, a physical anthropologist, invited everybody to get up and stretch. She said, “It’s too bad ischial callosities dropped out of the human line.”

One less thing women feel pressured to enhance with plastic surgery. And we have memory foam now, so no big loss.
