Reply #13: "Where was the universe created" [View All]

[carolinayellowdog]

Hey,

This one's kinda poignant rather than irritatingly dumb. In a public library where I used to work, I got a phone call from an elderly man with a deep question. He said "I know what the Bible says about the creation of the universe, but what I want to know is *where* God created it." My first answer didn't satisfy him: "There wasn't any *there* then." Nor did my second : "No one knows." He was clearly disappointed and believed that I could look the answer up in a reference book, but was too lazy to help him.

As for a just plain dumb question, "Do you have any American novels?" takes the cake. Although we do regularly have people protest after faxes have been sent, wanting to know why we are giving them back their original when we were supposed to send it somewhere.
