10. God worried that Adam would always be lost in the garden because men hate to ask for directions.
9. God knew that Adam would one day need someone to hand him the TV remote. (Men don't want to see what's ON television, they want to see WHAT ELSE is on!)
8. God knew that Adam would never buy a new fig leaf when his seat wore out and would therefore need Eve to get one for him.
7. God knew that Adam would never make a doctor's appointment for himself.
6. God knew that Adam would never remember which night was garbage night.
5. God knew that if the world was to be populated, men would never be able to handle childbearing.
4. As 'Keeper of the Garden,' Adam would never remember where he put his tools.
3. The scripture account of creation indicates Adam needed someone to blame his troubles on when God caught him hiding in the garden.
2. As the Bible says, "It is not good for man to be alone!"
1. When God finished the creation of Adam, He stepped back, scratched His head and said, "I can do better than that."

A Somewhat Disturbing Mystery

As well as being a mystery it also stirs up my curiosity in all directions, most annoying or even worrying part is that after turning it over and over all last night, I still can't come up with a likely explanation. I think I better start from the beginning.

I received a letter by post (all my friends send email) yesterday. From the sender's corner on the envelope I already thought it's strange: of a restaurant I have only been about a dozen times in about 2 years. What's more strange, my name MoiMoii, (correctly written; most people, including web friends for years, would either use one 'i' only at the end, or write it as Moi Moi or Moi Moii), so it's not a publicity flyer type mail.

The contents surprised me even further, congratulating my forthcoming birthday (on the Date section) sending me a gift of €10., cheque valid throughout the month of March. My suspicion arose when I know for sure I have never paid a bill there by card or cash, never signed anything, all visits were as invited guest. Nor have I told anybody there my name, my home address, much less my birthday date. I asked my friends who had invited me, and none of them had received such a gift nor even heard of such a practice. How on earth they know all there is to know connected with my identity? Even my Internet contacts, nobody had been told my home address, and very few knows about or bothers to find out my birthday.

The restaurant is called (Wok You), in Figueras, my nearest town. Part of an international chain of restaurants, all called 'Wok' something. This one has been opened merely 2 years ago and the others in Spain are spread out in many big cities and towns.

Should I do something? What? Go again sometime and ask? Ask whom? Spend it there? Ignore it? Write to the establishment? Where? Which one? Complaint or Thank them?
