     May I have a banana?  I once entered an essay contest held by  a large newspaper. I was awarded 7th place. Not bad for someone who got C & D grades in school. Oh, wait. I forgot to mention that there were over 1000 entries?  They had a nice awards dinner for the top ten. We dined on prime rib.

    When the "Big Bang" occurred I believe everything was randomly flying around aimlessly but the visible Universe formed into galaxies, stars, planets and ultimately life.

    I know. If that isn't the hugest unbelievablest science fictiony scenario I don't know what is. I mean think about it! How is it that we evolved from all of that? I know it took billions of years Ele but even so it is way beyond my comprehension. It is said that truth is stranger than fiction. If that isn't a prime example I don't know what is! Thank you for your reply m'dear!  :)

    That is very impressive bh. 7th place among 1000 entries?  Congratulations to you! Now imagination and creativity has nothing to do with proper spelling or syntax or any of that baloney that folks try to selll you. I'm not saying your submittal wasn't grammatical.  But ideas come  from all sources. They come in all sizes and shapes and colors and value. Yours was judged valuable. Thank you for sharing that . I appreciate it!  Happy Sunday bh! :)
