While I'm a little uncomfortable blowing my own strumpet, there was an exchange once in another, now ex-forum, which developed the idea of tea as the divine power solving everything. I invoked a prayer to this miracle beverage, ending with
"In the name of the samovar, and of the infusion, and of the Holey Bag, perforated two thousand times for the refreshment of our sins."
Then followed an interesting argument from another member as to why it was invalid and why talk of teapots and Holey Bags was just a red herring. My off the cuff reply that
"A red herring in a teapot is a completely different kettle of fish"
was not only nominated Quote Of The Year, it made people eject sundry fluids from nostrilic apertures and finished up in the signature of at least one delightful person.
But there is one in this august community of which I am particularly proud. Basically, someone was trying to argue the validity of bible through archaeology with Min, to which I felt obliged to point out that
"Arguing points of archaeological history with an archaeological historian is like attacking a lion with a leg of lamb. Choose your battles more wisely, is what I'm saying."

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
