Hungry kya?

I ve a mega bug in my tummy.
I know I do, because my tummy wants food very two hours. Atleast the bug in my tummy does. Its scary when it makes squishy squishy noises when you are playing basketball. I can't describe the feeling. There IS a point to this post. I m naming my bug. It's now morgan. Murugappa would ve been nice , but its too long.
My bug is much better than yours!

Who is this god person anyway?

Things I would like to make clear before i write this.
I m NOT an atheist. I m NOT agnostic.

Lets start 55 million years ago.
It's a fine Tuesday morning and the Mr.Cockroach and his family are happily having breakfast.

Now, it's around a million years ago.(The point of the previous paragraph was to create an effect)
Early man is happily walking around on two's. I repeat.TWO's.
He has just eaten a nice big loris at his 'hungry hunters' meeting and is very happy with the way things are going in life.
Life? He thinks. What the hell is that.(Actually he doesnt think about that, but this adds to the effect)
He is the boss of his world and he is the only one who can meddle with nature. So he is very happy.
But then, who made this world?
Why is he the only one who can meddle with nature? Why is he the only sentient thing?
He doesn't have an answer and so he decides that someone made this world. And since he is the boss in the world that the "someone" made for him he wants to thank the "someone" for making HIM the boss. So he makes offerings and stuff.
This goes on for a while and then FINALLY someone ( not to be confused with "someone")
realizes that "someone" isn't much of a name. So they all had a top level bureaucracy meeting and came up with "God". So "God" it is.


Apologies to Douglas Adams and Oolon Colluphid the author of the "trilogy of philosophical blockbusters: Where God Went Wrong , Some More Of God's Greatest Mistakes, and Who Is This God Person Anyway?"
I wish I had more hitchhiker books to read.
Sigh.I miss you.
