A booming voice is saying, ‘Let there be light,’ but there is already light.

Back in the early '90s I worked in a plant in Macon, GA. I used to come in early, usually the first one there. One game I always played, because I was among a bunch of bible-thumpers, was to intone in a deep voice, as I flipped the lights on, "And I commanded, 'Let there be light', and behold!, there was light upon the land."

I didn't know one of the BTs also came in early and when the lights came on, he came out of his cubicle with eyes as big as saucers. He stayed away from me from then on. :-)

In line with the Onion article, the Sumerians are said to have pictured the entire solar system, complete with an extra planet that we have yet to discover (mebbe we'll find it in 2012):

I’ve encountered the claim that the Sumerians had pictured the entire solar system and have even been presented with the image you have provided. Who knows what knowledge they may have possessed, but if that is meant to represent what is claimed, the Sumerians missed the single most impressive aspect of our solar system - Saturn’s rings. If they were represented, I’d be impressed.
