Anglican Leaders Move to Avoid Schism...

Anglican Leaders Seek Move to Avoid Schism

It seems to me that at some point you just have to schism. As an example: When a sect within the "He-man woman haters" club (ala The Little Rascals) begins to no longer hate women, well it seems to me that you have two or three options.

1. You can change the name of the club to reflect the uncertainty of the group. Perhaps something like "The He-man mostly woman haters", or even "The He-man woman likers, with a few haters interspersed"... or other amusing permutation, ad nauseum.

2. You can split the club based on fundamental differences. The clubs that would then ensue can only be imagined.. "He-man woman haters - REFORMED", "He-man woman haters - Fundamentalist", "He-person individual regarders" (This group would not want to either include or leave out anyone...) (sheesh!)

3. Finally I imagine you could redefine the words in the groups title making them to mean the exact opposite of there original intent. He-man now = Pansy | woman now = being | hater now = trout...Perhaps the words could be defined not as opposites but as definitions that seem utterly non sequitar. (hence; trout)

Hopefully my illustration plays to the absurdity of this entire question. I find the morality of gravity to be a cramp on my lifestyle, I think I'll disregard it....AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Thank You Google - Gmail ROCKS!

This morning when I loaded the Gmail page it had a strange surprise. (Gmail is Google's free email service) It seems that Google is adding an additional Gig to all of its Gmail accounts. But not all at once, instead a little bit at a time. So for example while working with my Gmail account this morning I saw my space limit slowly increase and my percentage of space used slowly decrease. I may be really geeky, but I find this hilarious.

BTW I have 50 Gmail invitations to give away if anyone is interested in trying the service.

Oh Yeah - I hope this isn't a prank for April Fools Day. If so, I won't be happy.

My Friend Charles just wrote with this article, which I think gives even more confirmation that this is not just a prank:
