one of life's larger mysteries

[adelaidesean]

Why does the sun shine?

To read my answer to this very important question*, click here and scroll down past Noam Chomsky, Uri Geller, Bob McGrath (the longest serving human actor from Sesame Street) Steve Box (twice)--no, keep going--Elliott Goblet, The Blanks (Ted's a capella group from Scrubs), Michelle Rodriguez, Alan Fletcher, Kyle McLachlan's dog Mookie, and a picture of John Rhys Davies. Then keep scrolling, 'cos you'll also find Aaron Allston, Warwick Davis, Donatello from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Nick Earls, Peter Combe, and a whole lot more.

I never thought I'd be on the same page as Joe Dolce quoting Emanuel Swedenborg.

* TMBG fans will appreciate the difficulty I had not answering "The sun is a mass of incandescent gas / a gigantic nuclear furnace / where Hydrogen is built into Helium / at a temperature of millions of degrees" etc.

Bob McGrath is Sesame St, not Play School!

Yargh! Of course he is. Consider it fixed.

nothing wrong with quoting the tmbg.

Absolutely not! But I thought I'd better find my own words before channeling the two Johns. :-)

[maelorin]

probably safer too :p

Thanks for the plug!

Amazingly, only one of the thirty-or-so responses resorted to TMBG lyrics, which is nothing short of miraculous. Don't take the easy way out, kids: quote the Johns responsibly.

"I never thought I'd be on the same page as Joe Dolce quoting Emanuel Swedenborg."
Oh, I'm definitely saving that one for the back of the debut novel.

My pleasure! It was a lot of fun.
