Is it possible that God prays to grumbler?

No, Grumbler corrected God's grammer too often.  That is why God doesnt speak to anyone anymore.

Grammer? :x

To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

grumbler said, "Big Bang?  What Big Bang?   I didn't hear any noise.  Sound waves don't travel through space."
Wouldn't space have been dense enough immediately after the big bang for sound to travel through it?
No.  While the density of the universe was well in excess of the heart of a star, but the amplitude is too high for it to really be considered 'sound'.

He does speak.  About 4 posts after yours, for instance.

Incidentally, what I don't get is why so many of these teaparty types seem to look back to the past as some sort of tax eldorado? I mean, in 1960s, wasn't the highest tax bracket in its 80%s?

How far back is "the past"?  In the 1920s, the top rate was 25% and only if you made the equivalent of over 1 million dollars.  Before 1913, there was no income tax and virtually no federal taxes existed...so why only go back 50 years?  Because your argument likes to ignore history?

When grumbler was a boy, the tax rate was 0%.  Hunter-gatherers didn't pay taxes.

Incorrect.  The left tusk of each mastodon was sacrificed to Aeiou, the god of consonants.

I think I might have preferred the god of vowels, then.

No one could pronounce Abcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxz's name, until the Aztecs came along.
