FastSaying

I'll tell you a secret. A raven created the world. When Noah sent him out to find land, he couldn't find any. It had all been washed away.

So he created it.

He shat the dry land and he pissed the the fresh water. Then he flew off, laughing fit to burst. So the world eas there for the dove to find.

Really?

They don't admit to it, of course. Who wants to be blamed for creating the world?


Neil Gaiman
