Can't have been a Marathon, must have been a Snickers.

Which of course stands for:

Satellite Navigational Intra-Cosmic Kinetic Exploration Re Spacetime.

thankfully they didn't work for Telstra or the order for the new universe would be cancelled twice and God would be put through to to a help desk in manilla.
'but i promised everyone the universe would be ready on saturday'
'can i ask you a few security questions first? what was you mother's maiden name'
'i don't have a mother, i am sui generis, outside time and space'
'so its pointless asking for your date of birth'
'fraid so'
'or your address for the last three years'
'nope'
'or know a current customer of telstra?'
'oh...er...i think satan has a mobile'
'with telstra?'
'no, he set up his own network called T-Mobile so he could spread anger and frustration throughout the world'
'that's fine, they are a sister organisation with Telstra and we share the same mission statement. the universe should be connected next thursday. in the meantime feel free to use our 16k mobile link.'
which is why the universe has taken 17 billion years to download so far.

I've had T-Mobile for years, they're excellent!

glad to hear it. actually it might have been 3 mobile. anyway they took £500 out through a closed direct debit for a pre-paid number that had been cancelled and tried to bill us for another £250 3 months after we complained. they had highjacked the account from t-mobile in the first place by pretending to be t-mobile.
which is why i get confused. or was it the other way round?

Well, if you're going to be serious...the BBC expounded a number of alternatice theories including "Inflation" and "Wave Theory" all of which left me dazed and feeling as if I'd been clubbed ober de head.

If I had to go for anything I'd say our universe was the result of an over-filled black hole which came to the end of its life and "blew up".

Unfortunately this theory doesn't envisage parallel universes which I have to say I'd like to exist, and which are part of most other theories.

Alternatively we could stay stoopid and accept the babel fish and the paranoid android, and stop denying that it's all made of custard and anchovy relish.

(I wonder what language the babel fish talk to each other in?)

BIG CORRECTION

The Universe was not created on a Thursday. Any fool knows that.

It was created at about 2.30pm on a Saturday, at about the time we get stuck in to our fourth pint in Durty Nellies. That's when the parallel Universe really gets going.

.
So Thirsty afternoon was on Saturn day, hence the rings.

This was followed by Son day (when all sons remain in bed) and Moon day (when we all have to expose our buttocks), and then - obviously - Shoes day.

Having got the new shoes we're then ready for Wedding day, which, being a bit wearing, needs another Thirsty afterwards to recover.

And what better way to unwind than to move quietly into Fry day, which of course is so named because one must only eat fish & chips. This celebrates the fact that Jesus Was A Sailor, as we were told by Leonard Cohen in "Suzanne". Also known as POETS day.

So that's 8 days a week, as originally discovered by the Beatles in 1964:

SON day
MOON day
SHOES day
WEDDING day
THIRSTY
FRY day (POETS day)
SATURN day
THIRSTY
.

Very, very clever Ray. I shall not be going to any wedding today though
