Fries from Wendy's are okay. From Hardee's, not so much.

I like Wendy's fries best. The strips of potato skin on them are awesome.


Regarding the Pharoah, I found the confounding of Ginger with that supposed mummy in Britain when I was last searching... but I don't think it's the same thing because the pictures are very different. Maybe the body was rearranged, but I'm not certain, and I think (perhaps incorrectly) that rearranging such ancient remains in rigor mortis might damage the artifact. I still need to do some more research on the truth of this issue when I have more time.
May God forgive me if I've written anything incorrect, rude, or harmful in any way.

McDonald's used to be the best but now there is no real winner. Wendy's, I suppose, but they're just okay.

You wouldn't rearrange a body like Ginger, you'd probably destroy it (I assume you saw Arch's post on the preceding page).

We still have a Roy Rogers in our area, so I can safely say that they hold the crown for quality of fries at a fast food place. There isn't another FF place that I know of in the area that still makes curly fries.

I've never cared for curly fries. There isn't a Roy's in my area, that I know of. Burger King's used to be decent but that was many years ago.

I've been partial to Burger King's milkshakes, as they tend to be super-thick compared to McDonald's milkshakes, which I always find kind of watery.

Truly. Some might suggest that fried potatoes are proof that God exists and wants us to be happy. Dr. Franklin said something like that about beer, and I have to say it's tempting to agree. The thing is, I know how beer is made and there's no deity involved.

They're all diabolical. Seriously, every fast food chip I've ever had in the US is shocking. You seriously need an equivalent to the chips we can get in the UK.

I personally do not know. I've been raised up Baptist but there's just so many questions and when I ask such questions I get "When we get to heaven you'll know" or "That's just how God works." It's very confusing sometimes and I find myself questioning my beliefs.

No. I don't believe so. If, some day, I am presented with compelling evidence to the contrary, I shall change my beliefs, but no such evidence has yet been presented.

I believe in God because I find it impossible to imagine how such an amazing world could have come about without a creator. I have always believed in God and was raised as a Strict Baptist.

Then how the hell do you have an answer to who created the universe if you don't know who created god?

That's what's called an assertion.
