Nayab: "No, I mean, the Bible never says stuff like 'And God saw that 
what he made was complete crap, so he started over.' It's always like 
'And God saw that he had done it right the first time. And he was 
pleased about how cool he was.'Be cool like God and don't mess up!"

spittled all over me!"
- Ms. Cyrier, in the first meeting of her Spacetime Physics class
