The Cosmic Story Part II We’ve all asked the questions, "Why are we here? Is there any purpose to life? Is there life beyond the veil of death"? Well I possess answers to these questions via a quick-route method without necessarily having 'grown' into them. I’m psychic, you see, so I’m cheati...

Once upon a time, between 500 and 1000 years ago, Buddhism was a twinkle in the Western-mind’s eye. Christianity had a firm hold on the West, and the Church was using fear tactics to capture the hearts and minds of the masses.

Awesome.” I just wondered, has anyone ever had sex in the middle of an earthquake? If so, did it make the sex any better, and make you want to shake some more? Or did it just give...

Okay, some valuable tips and some interesting(?) jargon, which may come in handy when taking those essential bathroom breaks at work: EGO POOPER: A colleague who poops at work and is proud of it. You will often see an EGO POOPER enter the bathroom with a newspaper under their arm, with a cocky swagger and a broad smile. EGO POOPERS usually let off loud farts before dropping their load, and they whistle or talk smugly to themselves while sitting on the throne. They like to leav...

Adam and Eve were created in Paradise. Everything was good, and pain and death didn't exist. God warned Adam and Eve that if they ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they would surely taste death, and would be banished from Paradise. Doesn't the underlying meaning of this story fall into place when we assume that Adam and Eve were created in Paradise-"Heaven"? After all, in order to taste the fruits of evil, they would surely have to be driven out of Paradise to ...
