Nuts in a box

A very few nuts in a box will, when shaken, produce a lot of noise. In other words, the noise mustn't be taken for an indication that there are a lot of nuts in the box. Cristina Odone (h/t Archbishop Cranmer) has pointed out that the National Secular Society can boast only about 7000 members, about the same as the British Sausage Appreciation Society.

Nuts: OK. But please don't mention sausages on Friday!

Father, did you have to post about sausages? On a Friday? In Lent? That's really piling on the agony :-)

Still, once Lent is out of the way I think we ought all to join the British Sausage Appreciation Society. Partly to swing the statistics against the NSS; and partly just … because.

Don't forget that the Reformation started with sausages (in Switzerland, at any rate). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affair_of_the_Sausages

Completely off point, Father, but you might be interested to know that Splintered Sunrise (http://splinteredsunrise.wordpress.com/) is back and blogging about matters Catholic again.
