This may be the final straw of a fallen race, just before the
rapture.  Interesting timing.  God may be saying, "Enough is enough."

But things are never too serious or too bad for a good joke....

Did you hear about the chimp at the zoo who was given two books: one
was a copy of Darwin's book on evolution, and the other was a copy of
the Bible?

This caused the chimp to really get confused.  He now didn't know
whether he was his keeper's brother or his brother's keeper.
