Received via e-mail from K.R.:
“If the Good Lord wanted us to have a metric system, He would have had 10 Apostles instead of 12.”
Peter
The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!
Now that's a good one. Of course, there's the 10 Commandments…
Good point… 🙂
He did give us 10 fingers.
Hee!
And all those fingers can be otherwise referred to … as digits. 😀
The metric system is French. Nuff said. Besides, I like living in a tradition preserving society like America. HA
8 Fingers, 2 digits, just to be pedantic.
Plus, there were 13 apostle's in total. St Matthias was selected by the remaining apostles to replace Judas Iscariot.
I visited his tomb in Trier, Germany last year. Very humbling experience.
