In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth, the stars and the sun, the sky and the land, and all living things. God saw that they were good. But there was something missing. And there was evening, and there was morning -- the first day.

And God said "Let there be electricity, which may flow through copper wires and be readily available to each household." So God made electricity which was avilable to man. God saw that the electricity was good. And there was evening, and there was morning -- the second day.

And God said "Let there be screens which use this electricity to show images of other things, worldly or otherwise." So God made these screens, and he called them television sets. God saw that the television sets were good. And there was evening, and there was morning -- the third day.

And God said "Let there be devices which may control the image on these televisions sets, and let these devices be made by great companies such as Sega, Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft." So god made these devices, and he called them consoles. God saw that the consoles were good. And there was evening, and there was morning -- the fourth day.

And God said "Let there be contraptions which convey information to these consoles, so that man may control the images on the screen." So God made these contraptions, and he called them control pads. God saw that the control pads were good. And there was evening, and there was morning -- the fifth day.

And God said "Let there be disks which may be inserted into the consoles, and let these disks each make the effect of the console on the screen result in something different. Let these disks provide great entertainment for man, and let there be great designers to make more such disks. Let there be many different types of these disks, and let man want for nothing more." So God created these disks, and he called them video games. He separated the platformer from the Role playing game, the First person shooter from the Puzzler, and many more. God saw that the games were good, and he could finally rest. And there was evening, and there was morning -- the sixth day.

So...

God and St.Paul are playing golf...

Its the 18th hole, and God is one shot behind.

Standing before the ball, he waddles his feet to get into position, adjusts his grip... and swings...

The ball... chipped... flies, wonkily, throug the air, before comming to earth, bouncing a few times and rolling into the rough.

Suddenly a Rabbit comes onto the scene, picks up the ball and starts running across the green to the hole...

running past the 18th, an Eagle flys down, picks up the rabbit and procedes to fly away.

A wandering hunter seeing the Eagle, takes aim and shots.

Just missing but surprising the eagle so much he drops the rabbit...

The rabbit itself dropping the golf ball...

which, landing with a thud onto the putting green, rolling uphill plops into the 18th hole.

As God rests comfortably on his club, St. Paul turns to him and says 'Are you going to play golf, or just b ugger about?'

The Sony Bible of Plasiturnus Toous

In the beginning there was a big bang, Sony said:

Let there be faults! And the Playstation 2 was made faulty
Let there be poor quality games, and we all know what happened.....

And then God created woman.

And woman said "Oi! When you going to finish playing on that thing?!"

I'm not religious so I don't really believe in that.

I believe Nintendo made themselves the good name they are with hard work and detirmination!
