Dear Amado,

It is a puzzlement! cool

Maybe knowledge of the reality the missing third legged haggis is only given to the angels(of Glasgow or Cow lumbus). It is rumored to be seen only on the banks of the sacred loch in a highland mist once every hundred years for a day. It has been reported that angels gather to celebrate that day with the highland drink of ages. Following the imbibing the one imbibing is gifted with the vision needed to see the third leg. smile

It has also been rumored that the inmates are running the golden assylum. biggrin

I suspect the problem is that one variety has indeed 3 legs of unequal length - but the other one - the cute cuddly furry one is rather better equipped with 4 - set up as normal - 2 on each side, one at each corner - but remember that the unequal legs are on opposite sides of this wonderful little creature. It has taken evolution a long time to come up with this wee beastie - no not a cow'ring timorous beastie- that has evolved to this highly specialised state, that suits its surroundings perfectly

Science is a wonderful thing - when you can understand it biggrin

Dear Haggis Huggers,

I suppose the next thing you'll be suggesting is the canonization of Robbie Burns? wink

"Science is a wonderful thing - when you can understand it"

Anhelyna

Dear Angel of Glasgow,

It has been observed that scientific understanding is greatly enabled by frequent use of the highland drink of ages. Useful stuff that! biggrin

Youv'e just given me a good idea - must try some !

Thank you for that - I have a rather nice supply laid aside for an occasion like this biggrin

Alex,

Hmm - I'm not too sure about that - to be honest - I don't think there are sufficient miracles as yet

Dear Alex,

The ceremony can be held in the "Old Country" where a grand statue of Robbie can be found outside of Phipps Conservatory in Pittsburgh.

Since it's a statue, perhaps the Latins should make things rite? biggrin

Of course the ceremony can take place in a scotish rite in Glasgow in an even older country.

Oh dear - this is going from bad to worse - there is only 1 possible place for the ceremony - here of course wink . If it is done anywhere else it would be invalid.

Now - if you would excuse me for a bit - some fluid calls

The EWTN web site has been having problems for the last fortnight or so. Not sure the problem - try again in a few minutes and often it'll be back.

Dear Steve,

We used to attend the Robbie Burns' Day celebration here since that and Ukie Independence Day were often held on the same evening every January . . .

And Hetman Bohdan Khmelnitsky even had a Scots general in his army.

He said he didn't understand a word he said, but he fought like a demon . . .

After seeing "Braveheart," I can believe it . . .

Dear Alex,

Perhaps the general had one of the wee beasties for inspiration augmented with the highland drink of ages. Hence the demons? biggrin

Steve


PS That must be some celebration! Surely the level of understanding of science there in January must grow exponentially! wink

OK, I give!

Ed was haveing the same problem and since I am only two miles away from EWTN I will make the phone call.

I have had trouble accessing the document library, but not the site.

Here is the scoop. I talked to them and they said it has been down for two weeks. You can see the pages up, but accessing documents or experts is not possible.

They also said they are taking the hammer, chisel, and duct tape to it, and hope to have it up as soon as possible.

Young man that I spoke with also ask for prayer for it!!!!!!!!

On second thoughts - it might help them get the Site up properly again biggrin

The haggis probably knows as much about it as they do.
