I was talking to a friend of mine tonight , and because of our unseasonably warm winter weather that we've had in Eastern Pennsylvania as of late the topic of "Global Warming" came up . He brought up a fairly valid point that I hadn't considered before . This mysterious climate altering phenomenon is supposedly caused by the holes that are forming in the ozone layer . The ozone layer is this invisible undetectable shield that protects us from cosmic rays and other intergalactic nastiness . Okay . If the shield is invisible , how did you see the damn hole in it ? How do you know that there was ever a ozone layer there in the first place ? How do you know that the imaginary hole in the imaginary layer isn't a good thing ? Hey , if the polar ice caps melt EVERYBODY will have beachfront property . Real estate values will skyrocket . The whole planet will look like Venice and we could all float to work in bumper boats . It would be freakin' AWSOME!!!!

Next topic . Ghosts . Ghosts are supposed to be the disembodied life energy of a human being who passed away for whatever reason . Their soul , if you will . So I brought up to my friend How come you always hear about people seeing the ghost of great Aunt Fran or Abraham Lincoln or whatnot , but you never hear people talk about the ghost of their childhood dog Sparky . Animals are living creatures too . Why no animal ghosts ? He explained to me that it was because animals didn't have souls . I asked "Who said that ? " . He replied "It's in the Bible . " I then countered with the argument that the Bible also said that a guy divided an entire ocean right down the middle with a stick and ANOTHER guy loaded two of every single kind of animal species on the planet onto a boat which he and his family then sailed around in for a month or so until the waterworks shut off . I guess THOSE are pretty believable stories so the idea that animals have no souls MUST be true . Maybe the people writing the Bible just ran out of ink or paper or maybe , I don't know , just got bored , so they omitted the book about Jesus' dog Scraps who rose from the dead to join his master . The long lost Book Of Scraps ..."and Scraps came unto the masses and said unto them "Woof" , and it was so . The world then kneweth that animals didst haveth souls-eth . "

I have such enlightening conversations with my friends .
