[Ichneumon]

Sometimes I think God set up the universe to be as counterintuitive as possible . . . Hey, maybe that should be the new universal law! ;-)

J.B.S. Haldane already beat you to it by several decades. Haldane's Law: "The universe is not only stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we *can* imagine."

(Actually, being both Scottish and born in the 1800's, he actually used the phrase "queerer than we suppose", but due to shifting slang terms, the language in his quote is often updated so as to avoid unnecessary confusion or hilarity.)

And I thank God it is! :-)
