A boy in my son's class asked the teacher the other day a question about geometry.  "Sir, if there's three dimensional things, does that mean you can have one dimensional things?"

To which the teacher replied "em, er, em I'm really not sure about that".

Michael (10) stuck his hand up and told them about lines.



Speaking of dimensions, I had an hilarious (to me) experience the other day.  I was waiting for lift - the doors opened and inside was an enormously tall woman - she must have been at least 6'6".  Beside her stood a man with a step-ladder.  It was a perfect visual joke.  I just had to back into the lift and stare at the doors while trying not to laugh.

Speaking of the comic - have you seen this story about gay "bishop" Robinson?  He claims that:

“We have to understand that the notion of a homosexual sexual orientation is a notion that’s only about 125 years old," Bishop Robinson told CNSNews.com. "That is to say, St. Paul was talking about people that he understood to be heterosexual engaging in same-sex acts.  It never occurred to anyone in ancient times that a certain minority of us would be born being affectionally oriented to people of the same sex.”

So it's a sin for a heterosexual to be a homosexual but not for a homosexual to be a homosexual.  Presumably it's also okay for a murderer to kill someone, but not for anyone else.

Glad we've cleared that up.
