“Suppose it's all true and you walk up to the pearly gates and you are confronted by God. What would Stephen Fry say to him, her or it?”
Stephen Fry:
“I will basically, I'll say, "Bone cancer in children? What's that about? How dare you! How dare you create a world where there is such misery that is not our fault! It's not right. It is utterly, utterly evil. Why should I respect a capricious, mean-minded, stupid god who creates a world that is so full of injustice and pain. That's what I'd say.”

Hollywood wit Dorothy Parker was staying in Hearst Castle, the home of WR Hearst ('Citizen Kane') and 'actress' Marion Davies.
Parker was asked to leave, for 'indiscreet behaviour' (i.e. bonking), which was frowned upon.
In the guest book, she wrote...
'Upon my honour, I saw a madonna,
standing in a niche.
Above the door of a well known we
and a first class son of a bh.'
Beat that!
