God = 27 Earth-orbiting satellites

Warning: The following post contains absolutely no valuable information whatsoever... just the report of an incident that made me laugh.

A few weeks ago we were in line at the Candian border crossing, slowly creeping forward in one of several lanes. As is often the case, our lane seemed to be the slowest of the bunch, and cars on either side were inching forward at a slightly faster creep.

A car pulled up on our left and we soon noticed the driver punching up some information on her windshield-mounted GPS navigation device. By the looks of it, she really knew how to use that thing... she was pushing the buttons, taking notes, making adjustments, pushing more buttons... well, you get the idea. We were witnessing a GPS power user.

Her car continued to outpace ours, and soon she was far enough ahead for us to see the bumpersticker on the back of her car. Yep, you've probably guessed it by now, it read: "God is My Co-pilot."

Mystery solved! God works for Garmin.

So she really shouldn't need that GPS unit then should she?

When I first read the title I thought you were making a refernce to Orson Scott Card's Earthborn series.

Neat series, really, even if it IS a retelling of the Book of Mormon.

Yes but with less science fiction and fantasy motifs...

Maybe God had been holding the map upside-down again...

And whatever you do, don't ask Him to fold the darned thing. He just can't do it and then you get the old "fire & brimstone" routine going on in the car. Last time I drive that bast@rd ANYWHERE

Or Philip K. Dick's VALIS, which was earlier and better.

True, but that's not a full series, eh? I mean The Transfiguration of Timothy Archer and Divine Invasion didn't exactly carry the story over.

Hey, God got lost and the Jews had to wander the desert for 40 years! If he was my co-pilot I'd be wanting a little confirmation from the GPS too.
