Certain questions of a theological nature preoccupied me strangely. As for example.
- What value is to be attached to the theory that Eve sprang, not from Adam's rib, but from a tumour in the fat of his leg (arse)?
- Did the serpent crawl, or as Comestor affirms, walk upright?
- Did Mary conceive through the ear, as Augustine and Adobard assert?
- How much longer are we to hang about waiting for antichrist?
- Does it really matter which hand is employed to absterge the podex?
- What is one to think of the Irish oath sworn by the natives with the right hand on the relics of the saints and the left on the virile member?
- Does nature observe the sabbath?
- Is it true that the devils do not feel the pains of hell?
- The algebraic theology of Craig. What is one to think of this?
- Is it true that the infant Saint-Roch refused suck on Wednesdays and Fridays?
- What is one to think of the excommunication of vermin in the sixteenth century?
- Is one to approve of the Italian cobbler Lovat who, having cut off his testicles, crucified himself?
- What was God doing with himself before the creation?
- Might not the beatific vision become a source of boredom, in the long run?
- Is it true that Judas' torments are suspended on Saturdays?
- What if the mass for the dead were read over the living?
(It's better to create than destroy what's unnecessary)
