Villiamsburg

In my German lesson, I had to translate the following:

Was ist Ihr Geschlecht?

Means, "What is your gender?"
It's one of those things that if you have to ask, you probably shouldn't.

I was on my bike on Saturday, pedaling through a shady grove that wasn't Shady Grove. The sun was shining, the locusts were humming, and a little butterfly was fluttering along beside me.
It was all delightful until I realized I was going the speed of a butterfly.

Did you know that warm coffee is better than hot coffee? That's a true story.

I actually had a full cup of black coffee the other day. 
I know people who drink black coffee usually have something to prove, and that was true for me as well. I had to prove to myself that it could be done.
Spoiler alert: it can be.

I was pondering deep questions today, such as "What is the meaning of life?" and "Why don't piranhas eat each other?"

Go to Yahoo! answers, and there's a few brazen scientists using words like, "instinct" and "pheromones" and all types of whatnot. But I think they're all overlooking one very important factor.

Piranha Jesus.

In the beginning, piranhas were vengeful hateful creatures. They still kind of are. Razor-like teeth and a murderous spirit did not bode well for the continuation of the species. God knew this and therefore sent Piranha Jesus to calm the stormy sea, so to speak. Piranha Jesus came and gave the commandment for piranhas love one another and not to eat each other, and so they don't. In fact, he even did them one better by dying for their past sins so that whoever believes in Piranha Jesus may have an eternal fishy life.

I mean, animals just don't wake up and know not to eat their own kind, right? Right. Something has influenced piranhas in such a deep, moving way that it caused them to refrain from eating their own kind.
Holy mackerel! What a miracle!
There is evidence of piranhas not eating each other. Therefore, there is evidence of Piranha Jesus having once lived, and once died, for the sake of all piranhas in the world.

Piranhas swim by faith and not by sight (or smell).
