Day 16 – Project Day 6 – Tubusis

Woke up and have had possibly the worst breakfast I’ve ever had. Namibian porridge is rancid. Like the starchy gloop of pure glucose I had yesterday. But this time I have a bit of sugar. Added jam, but it just made it worse. Cheers guys.
Have got to teach English at 12:10. Bit worried as I don’t speak Africans. So how am I supposed to communicate with the kids? We’ll have to see.

Well… it was brilliant! Nick and I taught spelling, careers, grammar and played hangman. The kids were very good. Got to plan another lesson tomorrow. The kids sang and then prayed at the end of the lesson. It’s so different to England. We would never do something like that in such unison. Go Namibian Education System!

I’ve been told to ponder eggs a bit more, so here goes…
I like eggs. You can do a whole range of things with them. Boiled, scrambled, fried, poached, thrown. Yum yum yum (apart from the thrown one). I still don’t know why people first ate them though. I was listening to a report on the radio back in Blighty about the people of the island of Kilner (Kilner Island). The people’s main food supply was eggs. They had to climb steep cliff edges just to reach the birds’ nests. It seemed a bit extreme to me. Why risk your life for bird sperm when you could just stroll down to Waitrose? (Seriously though, I’d rather grow wheat or summat) I’d much rather grow food and survive than risk my life stealing from a dim-witted buzzard. What kind of species lives on a cliff edge anyway?
It was reported that it was very dangerous to get the eggs. Now, I’m pretty sure people, and in fact all living things, eat so they can survive. It seems these Scottish inbreds died trying to eat. Surely that’s the wrong way round? But may they were just ‘the wrong way round’.

(Princess Diana – Katherine that is brilliant!)

Right I’ve been asked to solve the problem of ‘what came first, the chicken or the egg?’ Should be easy…
We need to look at the creationist theory. The chicken therefore came first. God made the chicken on the 5th day and doth exclaimed a solemn oath ‘I doth declare this creature a chicken. From thine chicken thy shall create a sadistic, hollow franchise chain, called KFC. And I shall fill up thine belly on delicious chicken. For it is the chicken that came first’. (Genesis: Somewhere in the middle)
This section of Genesis is clear evidence of the chicken coming before the egg, especially from the final declaration. It amazes me that no one has realised this. Clearly people don’t read their Old Testament any more. It’s all hype now about the ‘New Testament’. The sequel with Jesus as the protagonist, rather than old God.
People forget that the Old Testament is a bank of knowledge long since forgotten thanks to Jesus and his cronies; commonly known as disciples. And wasn’t it also Moses that etched the 11th commandment ‘The World will knoweth of the chicken cometh first, before the egg’.

Looks like God is right. And you don’t mess with God.
