One of my chores today is to fix the RATS NEST of wires around our computer. It’s a nightmare and we’ve just added a router to the mess which has spilled us over the top. That got me thinking of the RATS NEST that Father Angelo envisions as the female brain. You know, the rats nest around our computer doesn’t look pretty, but it does some pretty amazing stuff. I realize we can now go wireless on some things, but disregarding that newer phenomenon, without all those wires, our computers just wouldn’t work right. The lovely, neatly wired circuit board that depicts the man’s brain (according to Father Angelo) is far more limited, I should think.

However, I enjoyed Other Mary’s thoughts, too. See, ladies, we really can dress modestly … it’s really the wiring in our heads that men cannot even see that makes us desirable. And, yes, God clearly made us with these differences … the boxes need the wires and the wires need the boxes. It’s a mystery that we really should laugh about more often … we take this mystery way too seriously these days.
