One day a scientist found out how to create people the way God did, so he called God and said "I know how to create people now, we don't need you anymore." God says, "okay then, show me!" The scientist says, "First, you grab some dirt. . ." and God reaches down and grabs the scientist and says, "GET YOUR OWN DIRT!!"

That's not gneiss!

There was this biologist who was doing some experiments with frogs. He was measuring just how far frogs could jump. So he puts a frog on a line and says "Jump frog, jump!". The frog jumps 2 feet. He writes in his lab book: 'Frog with 4 legs - jumps 2 feet'.

Next he chops off one of the legs and repeats the experiment. "Jump frog jump!" he says. The frog manages to jump 1.5 feet. So he writes in his lab book: 'Frog with 3 legs - jumps 1.5 feet'.

He chops off another and the frog only jumps 1 foot. He writes in his book: 'Frog with 2 legs jumps 1 foot'. read more »
