It’s not the sun…. it’s God teasing us with one of those laser pointers!

On October 13, 1917, a crowd of tens of thousands of observers, many of them Catholic pilgrims, descended upon Fatima, Portugal to witness the miracles prophecized by three local shepherd children who claimed to have seen visions of the Virgin Mary.  What started out as a rainy morning turned into utter madness once the clouds cleared up.  Waiting for a sign in the sky, many of the people in attendance began to see the sun race all over the sky, and even come downwards towards the ground.  You know, the kind of fucked up shit you’ll see if you stare at the sun for too long.  Originally skeptical of the accounts, the Vatican nevertheless would eventually recognize the visions seen at Fatima to be a genuine miracle….. believe it or not.

The only Miracles The Nest believes in…

And now Jesus tells me I should quit goofing around and start answering this week’s Share Your World questions instead.  Provided, as always, by Melanie….

I see visions of….. wait, that’s no virgin.

Can we really know everything?

Well, if you know what Silas J. Huckabee of Knob Noster, Missouri had for lunch on April 9, 1922….. then you probably really do know EVERYTHING and should really try out for Jeopardy.

What is broiled possum and chileh, Alex?

Where were people before they were born?

CAPER: Oooooh!  Oooooh!!!  I know this!!!!  Pick me, teacher!!!!!!!!!

MISS TWILIGHT: Littlest, do you know the answer?

CAPER: (Muttering) Bitch!

LITTLEST: Wh-wh-who, me?  Ummmm….. well…. Mommy says I was dropped by a buzzard when I was borned!

SNUGGLE: You dumbass!!!!  You were up your Mama’s vagina before you were born!  Just like I was before I came to school today…. heh heh!!!

TINA: Miss Twilight!!!!  Uncle Snuggie’s being a PERV again!!!!

TWILIGHT: I mean, technically you’re correct…. but aren’t you a bit too OLD to be in this class?

SNUGGLE: No way!  They kicked me out of elementary school when I turned 25, so I decided to come back and get my GED!  And, maybe, pick up a few chicks….

LITTLEST: Miss Twilight, what’s a ba-jina?

ZEEBA: Ooh!  Zeeba knows what a Ba-jina is!  My Mommy said they BLEED!!!!  (Jumping up and down on her desk) BLOOD! BLOOD! BLOOD! BAJINA! BAJINA! BAJINA!!!!!

STINKER: Miss Twilight!  I think I need an adult….

TWILIGHT: Sigh…. I knew this course was a bad idea as soon as the PTA recommended it.

Does the Law of Attraction exist?  (Law of Attraction, as I understand it, is a school of thought where positive thinking brings about good changes.  Some say it’s made them wealthy.  Others say it improves their health or their outlook on life)

Well, all of a sudden, the miracle of Fatima is not the most ridiculous thing mentioned in this post anymore!

Positive thinking just sets you up to make those kicks to the nads life dishes out hurt even more than they should…

The power of positive….. ooooooofffff!!!!

Do we love ourselves more in the virtual world and less in the real world?  If so, why?   If nay, why?

I don’t think any more of the bushy tailed, squirrely version of myself that runs this blog than I do the real version of myself who’s a socially withdrawn, misanthropic dork….

My virtual self may be a bit more full of himself, though… or full of something, anyway.

Are you happy?

If Zac is happy, then I am happy!

For whatever reason, some of my older drawings I’ve uploaded here show up as discolored.  Click on the comic and you will see it as it should be…
