| } Dear SeEkEr:}
 } While it is noble of you to so abase yourself before me, this Oracle
 } certainly hopes you do not seriously believe your question to be an
 } insignificant one. Men have been asking themselves this question since
 } time immemorial. Your Oracle interface either has a lot of static or
 } you were bored when you asked this question.  We both know which one it
 } was.  The former, of course. (The questions do not always flow through
 } the keyboard.)  *Wink*
 }
 } Luckily I am on pretty good terms with the Big Man, Himself.  (After
 } the Plunking Me in Indiana Incident, we managed to patch things up,
 } being the only two Omniscient Beings upon the planet, we can relate
 } better to one another than most.)
 }
 } A few things I can tell you about the Dude.
 }
 } --He is bigger than you, badder than you, and knows more.  He can lick
 }     you in any contest.
 } --He has a really dark streak to Him.  Although he is Omniscient, He
 }     goes into giggle fits over Jerry Lewis' antics, which just goes to
 }     show there are some Divine Mysteries not even I can fathom.
 } --He loves you.  I do too.  When you know everything, it is a tough
 }     sentiment to avoid.  Being Omnipotent gives you another unusual
 }     perspective in that, yes indeed, both Me and Him seek to outdo the
 }     other in terms of darkness of shades come judgment day.  You cannot
 }     feel the love we feel for you, since you are doomed to die.
 } --He is a sexist.  That is why He gave men those ridiculous looking
 }     things in the middle of their bellies.  (Though I am rather fond of
 }     my own.)  He does expect you, however, to keep it sheathed at all
 }     times save when proper.  (If you don't know when that is, read His
 }     Book on etiquette. Both JPS and Oxford University publish reasonable
 }     translations.)
 } --He doesn't play by the Rules.  No getting around it.  He made evil.
 }     Bosnia couldn't occur without His tacit nod.  Power is morality,
 }     though, so don't call Him a hypocrite.  You're liable to get that
 }     Big Zot when you die.
 } --He drives a Corvette.  God loves America.
 } --He speaks in a French accent.  He is an absolute corndog, you
 }     realize?
 } --He can have any of your womanfolk He pleases.  (Divinity hath Its
 }     privileges.  *Sly grin*)
 } --He lives incognito in a Honduran condo.  You'll never pick Him out,
 }     since His disguise is Perfect.  You might spot His next door
 }     neighbor, Saint Pete, though, who wears a fake mustache and a
 }     hairweave.
 } --He does not like Broccoli.  I do.  Go figure.
 }
 } That's a pretty good broad picture of the Dude.  If you want any more
 } specifics either ask me, consult the Good Book, consult a Hare Krishna,
 } or take a look at the newspaper headlines.  He is Omni-presnt, so it
 } doesn't much matter where you look, if you have eyes to see.
 }
 } You owe the Oracle a new lens prescription.
