The 10 Unanswerables



According to the Old Testament Moses descended from Mount Sinai with two stone tablets inscribed with 17 Commandments. the ex-son of the pharoah was the only man in the crowd that could read, except Yahweh didn’t write in Egyptian. At least according to the Charlton Heston version of THE TEN COMMANDMENT. There could have been a thousand for all Moses knew.

The re-interpretation in the ensuing millenia have whittled the 17 to 10, although the late comedian George Carlin combined them into the One Commandment ‘THOU SHALT KEEP THY RELIGION TO THYSELF!!!’ I religiously obeyed his non-divine edict, as do an increasing number of non-believers.

American education has ignored Judeo-Christian thought during the last half-century along with geography, history, math, art, PE, and any science with an -ology at the end of the word. People know less and less. Certainly not all the Ten Commandment, however the 2nd Brain of Mankind or the Internet knows all and anyone can resurrect knowledge by going to ask.jeeves.com

Being established in a Christian nation, the interactive website had come up with its own list of Ten.

The Ten Unanswerables

1. What is the meaning of life?

2. Is there a God?

3. Do blondes have more fun?

4. What is the best diet?

5. Is there anybody out there?

6. Who is the most famous person in the world?

7. What is love?

8. What is the secret to happiness?

9. Did Tony Soprano die?

10. How long will I live?

Of course I’ve been drinking, so I will try for the 10 Answers

1. The meaning of life is simple. Live today for tomorrow you die.

2. There certainly isn’t a bearded God wearing a muumuu in the clouds.

3. Blondes have more fun, if you like blondes.

4. The best diet is excess in moderation.

5. Is there anybody out there?

6. The famous person in the world is Andre the Giant. To me.

7. Love is like pornography, I know it when I feel it.

8. The secret to happiness is loving yourself and the world around you. Even in North Philidelphia. The baddest of the bad.

9. Death on TV is cancellation. Even Tony Soprano can escape swimming with the fish on TV.

10. Everyone lives until they die. See answer one.

Not trying to be smart, for anyone who thinks that he has heard all the answers has not heard all the questions.
