Yes, this is a very common, confusing question and a good one for a real brain-wrenching boggle. The number of theories are also something to boggle at. Did we arrive with the Big Bang? Did we evolve from surviving dinosaurs? Are we really fifteenth cousins, twice removed, of the ape? True, we do look marginally alike to monkeys, but are we of any relation to them? Or were we formed like planets, from a ball of gases? Perhaps we evolved from plankton or beetles, maybe even daisies. This is surely something worth debating; Our Purpose In Life and How We Got Here.

To the previous message is only one thing to say: Don't talk when you're drunk!

That my fellow researcher is a confusing question, to which I am in a confused state,
so I shall try to answer it with as much confusion as I possibly can... here it goes -->

We are hear because we think we exist.

Did you know that in every pigeon there is a mouse controlling it with a tiny steering wheel and paddles?

Don't give away all the mice's secrets. People tend to disappear when they do that.

Why are we here? What's life all about? Is God really real or is there some doubt? Well tonight, we're going to sort it all out, 'cos this is the meaning of life. What's the point, of all this hoax, is it da chicken and da egg time, are we just yolks... eep. Sorry, had a minor Python relapse there. Look at it this way - there IS no point, no great cosmic purpose, then we can stop worrying and enjoy it while it lasts.

We are here to drink lots and dance with members of the opposite sex, as much as possible. Leave pigeons out of it!

Yeah, so get out there and have fun! Where did pigeons come into it, anyway? Let's stick with the idea that we are here to have some beer, go on a rollercoaster, throw up, have dinner with a friend (make that a very good friend), and go home. (With the very good friend). Does that sound cool and froody or what, people?

I am here because I can't be there. I am working on being in two places at one time but have not mastered it yet. So when I do then I can be here and there.

in such discussions my mum always used to say "because I said so"-replace parent figure with divine parent figure (who is-of course somewaht more omnipotent)and it might be a clue towards a cure for bleeding ears(why not eh?)
