10. speaking of Ave Maria...
Edited on Sun Nov-18-07 04:15 AM by Syrinx
That reminds me of the Ave Maria Grotto, constructed by a Bavarian monk, at a monastery in Cullman, Alabama. I'm not really religious, but I think it's pretty cool.

Ave Maria Grotto, known throughout the world as "Jerusalem in Miniature," is a beautifully landscaped, four-acre park designed to provide a natural setting for the 125 miniature reproductions of some of the most famous historic buildings and shrines of the world. The masterpieces of stone and concrete are the lifetime work of Brother Joseph Zoettl, a Benedictine monk of St. Bernard Abbey. Begun as a hobby, with various materials he could find, and infinite patience and a remarkable sense of symmetry and proportion, Brother Joseph re-created some of the greatest edifices of all time.

11. I thought he was dead for the longest time
Although since there's a Snopes article about that, presumably so did a lot of other people.

15. That is so untrue.
About your being shallow that is; not your dorkhood or Mr. McFerrin's easiness on the eyeballs.

16. Why do you say that about yourself, Heidi?...
...Part of being a dork is to be completely oblivious to one's own dorkiness -- Hence, you couldn't be a dork.

Now stop saying that.

:D

18. Even if I were a true dork,
I wouldn't mind. ;)

Actually, the whole thing of me being a dork started a couple of years ago when I got new glasses after many years of wearing _only_ contacts. :)

20. Ah, I see...
...Well, I'm relieved to know that you know you're not a dork -- not that there's anything especially wrong with being one.

21. Not a thing in the world wrong
with being a dork. I find dorkishness extremely endearing. :7
