I’ve just been told for what it’s worth
(though the Church of England would never admit it)
Cockneys were first to inhabit the earth
Now would you ever Adam and Eve it?

My first laugh of the day Michael, my Tom Hanks to you.

Good write M. lol.
Did you know that Adam actually had a wife before Eve? It's true her name was Lillith and she got written out of the scripts and turned into a demon, by the early manipulators of belief, because she refused to be subservient to a man - Adam. Genesis alterers forgot to remove how she was created though, hence Genesis contains the contradiction that woman was created from Adam's rib and elsewhere states that she was created from the earth like Adam.
So christianity doesn't seem to support equality for women.
Loved your oddity this morning.
Interesting - by the way did Adam and Eve have belly buttons?
They don't show up on the X-rays from that period.
Hahaha nice one!
Did you know that Adam and Eve is the name of a lingerie store here in the US? It's quite popular. They sell all kinds of things like toys, whips, outfits; I think you get the gist.
You've given the gift of life today xD
Not sure if cockney rhyming slang translates across the pond and forgive me if you are familiar with it but just in case: Adam and Eve is cockney rhyming slang for 'believe'. So the last line reads Would you believe it.
Some time ago I wrote a poem in CRS - might look it up and resurrect it if I can find it.
I was not familiar with that term, but I'll be keeping my eye out from now on. I just like to mention the wonderful name of a shop where people purchase their unmentionables. Dusk had some fun with it so I thought I would do the same lol. Trust me buddy, I'll just come to you from now on if I have any questions regarding the fish. Google can kiss the ole' pale cheek. (It is quite useful, just not always.) Fair tidings my good sir!
Thanks Nicholas - must visit the shop when I'm next in the States. Yup - google is a bit of a hit and miss at times - have a good day.
