i'm not enough of a bible scholar to be sure. in any case, one of the glories of latin is that numerous syntaxes are possible without garbling meaning, so either will do.

english translation: "let there be pickle. and there was pickle". it's our local version of genesis.

He Riotact, you know earlier on you said that, in your factory you deal with 'thingamajigs' and 'whadyacallits'?
I was wondering whether you also have anything to do with oojamaflips and dooberries?
The reason I ask is that my thingamajig has lost its oojamaflip and I also need a dooberry to fit on my whadyacallit. BIGAL

Riotact, perhaps you'd better send your colleague down to the stores to ask for a long weight.

How many pickles does it take to change a lightbulb?

Baron Grim Posted Aug 2, 2004
Ummm... 175?
5 to grasp the bulb and 170 to rotate the ladder.

but why would pickles be changing a light bulb if they can just plug themselves in?
