Scratch

Here you will find older scratches, musings and other detritus that once were located on the front pages, but have now faded.

Filed away here to collect dust and cobwwwebs in perpetuity, links may break, facts may change and data may corrupt.

On occasion I may come down here to tidy, but for the most, I prefer to leave the past where it lies.

 

Why?

'Why?' was the question I asked of text answer service AQA (Any Question Answered - 63336) the other night given the conversation had gone rather philosophical. Out of the possible replies, the one I received was rather unexpected.

'AQA: There is no reason why the Red Jungle Fowl used to roam in ancient India. Like everything in nature, the chicken's heritage is a matter of pure chance.'

Who would have thought.

When I pointed out I was perhaps looking for a general answer to life and its mysteries which was less chicken orientated, I received,

'AQA: As so many parents have said through the years, the answer to the question 'why' is 'just because'. Ah, the wisdom of parents!'

I feel happier now, although I am becoming inceasingly worried about the part played by Red Jungle Fowl in the bigger picture...
