Rubiks Cube of Complexities

Attention please! Attention please! Don't dare to talk! Don't dare to sneeze! Don't doze or daydream! Stay awake! Your health, your very life's at stake! "Ho ho," you say, "they can't mean me." "Ha ha," we answer, "wait and see." ~Roald Dahl

The joke I promised, although I'm sad

Ok, so, the Pope for some reason decided he wanted to evict all the Jews out of Rome. Naturally, the Jewish population was none too pleased about this. So, they ask the Pope to speak with one of the wisest Jews they know. The Pope agrees, but the Wise Jew will only agree to talk with the Pope if no words are spoken, because he is almost deaf. They have to mime everything and communicate that way. So, they meet. The Pope sticks up three fingers. The Jew sticks up one finger. The Pope waves his arm around his head in a circle. The Jew points forcefully to the floor. The Pope takes out the bread and the wine. The Jew reaches into his coat and draws out an apple. Suddenly, the Pope stands up and shouts, "Fine! You can stay!" and walks out of the room. All the bishops and cardinals want to know why the Pope let the Jews stay, so he tells them, "Well, I held up three fingers to say that God is 3 persons, and he held up one to say it is 1 God. Then, I waved my arm around to say that God is everywhere, and he pointed to the floor to say that God is right here. Then, I took out our sacraments to show him, and he took out an apple to remind me of original sin, and I could see that I just couldn't argue with him anymore." Meanwhile, the Jews wanted to know how their friend had convinced the Pope to let them stay. "Well, he said he wanted us out of Rome in three days, but I said not one of us is leaving. He said he wanted us to clear out of this land, but I said we're staying right here. Then, he took out his lunch, and I took out mine."On my sidenote:I am pretty sad today. I found out yesterday that someone I used to know in St. Marys died in a car accident. Her name was Brittani. She was a freshman this school year. I used to play tether ball with her after school. And now she's gone. So, if you could just pray for her family, that if it hasn't already, it will make them consider their own eternity.

Thanks. I also found out that the other girl who died was Brittani's cousin, and the driver, who survived, is a relative of my cousins who go to the Academy.

What's their last names, out of curiosity?

Thanks, Christa!
Brittani Jeanneret and Gina Riccomini were killed in the accident and Emily Palmeri was the driver, so she is going to need a lot of prayer. I can't imagine living with something like this.

I'm actually marrying into Gina's Family. I'm marrying her older brother, Joe. Thanks for all the prayers. I'm sure they have helped. I was close to all three girls...and their death was another cross to carry.. but it is also part of god's plan.. and we're all at peace with it. Both girls have their headstones up now, and it feels as though we just might have extra souls praying for us. Thanks again for the prayers! Take care!
