One question neither side can answer to my satisfaction...
Why fight like cats and dogs over it? LOL
There are freepers in good standing who seriously argue that the earth is at the center of the universe.
And who said it has to be an either/or question in the first place?
You'd think that the anti-evolution crowd would have enough faith in their views that getting the reassurance of others wouldn't be necessary.
Why fight like cats and dogs over it?
All this banter here makes me think of a poem I learned as a child. The guys been dead a long time so I am sure it is far beyond copyright, so I can post in it’s entirety.
Makes me think of us FReepers here, always fighting like cats and dogs over anything and everything!
Eugene Field. 1850–1895
The Duel
THE GINGHAM dog and the calico cat
Side by side on the table sat;
‘T was half-past twelve, and (what do you think!)
Nor one nor t’ other had slept a wink!
The old Dutch clock and the Chinese plate
Appeared to know as sure as fate
There was going to be a terrible spat.
(I was n’t there; I simply state
What was told to me by the Chinese plate!)
The gingham dog went “bow-wow-wow!”
And the calico cat replied “mee-ow!”
The air was littered, an hour or so,
With bits of gingham and calico,
While the old Dutch clock in the chimney-place
Up with its hands before its face,
For it always dreaded a family row!
(Never mind: I ‘m only telling you
What the old Dutch clock declares is true!)
The Chinese plate looked very blue,
And wailed, “Oh, dear! what shall we do!”
But the gingham dog and the calico cat
Wallowed this way and tumbled that,
Employing every tooth and claw
In the awfullest way you ever saw—
And, oh! how the gingham and calico flew!
(Don’t fancy I exaggerate—
I got my news from the Chinese plate!)
Next morning where the two had sat
They found no trace of dog or cat;
And some folks think unto this day
That burglars stole that pair away!
But the truth about the cat and pup
Is this: they ate each other up!
Now what do you really think of that!
(The old Dutch clock it told me so,
And that is how I came to know.)
