I once received a letter from an eminent logician, Mrs. Christine Ladd-Franklin, saying that she was a solipsist, and was surprised that there were no others. Coming from a logician, this surprised me.

An 80 year old, very nice lady presents to her new physician’s office because she has moved to a new town. On reviewing her medications, the doctor exclaims, “This can’t be right. Are you really taking birth control?”

The lady responds quickly, “Oh, Doctor, please don’t take those pills from me. Those are very important. They help me sleep.”

Her new doctor, incredulous, questions her further: “But what can you be using these for at your age?”

“Well, you see, my 15 year old granddaughter lives with me. I just grind them up, put one in her drink every night, and then I can sleep!”

There once was a man who took everything in the Bible very literally. Every day, he would open his Bible randomly and plunk his finger down. The verse his finger landed on would be his daily inspiration, direct from God!

One day, he was doing his usual routine with the Bible, and his finger lands on Matthew 27:5, where Judas goes out and hangs himself.

So the guy is worried. This can’t be right! He decides to try again. The second verse he finds is, “Go and do likewise.”

So now he’s in a panic and decides to give it just one more try. The verse he finds is, “What thou doest, do quickly.”

“My point here is that we all have our Limbo situations, border cases that seem to fall through the cracks of our soteriological systems.”.–good piece by Richard Beck. Thanks.

Man, I remember reading Dante’s Inferno. That was some gruesome and downright weird stuff!

Cold coffee and only the stale glazed donuts left. Sounds about right.
