Patrick
when Jerusalem fell to the Romans Titus couldn't stop laughing at the
fact that the Holy of Holies was empty. He thought the Jews had the
best scam going ever. Whereas the drunken Irishman, in the last
chapter of 'Under the Volcano', told Firmin that 'Mozart wrote the
Bible'.
Astrophysicists though still find their models fail: it seems that the
unevenness of cosmic inflation demands that initially something must
have been faster than the speed of light. They seem quite embarrassed
about it. It's rather like going to an old-fashioned British seaside
resort to discover at the beach a portly lady out of picture postcard,
in a floral dress, swinging a huge handbag, emerging wringing wet from
the waves calling 'Yoo-hoo, it's me, your Auntie Mabel. THAT WHICH I
AM I AM. I'm over here'
