! God's Notebook 1: Material Under Declassification

...so the next week I thought, why not bring these rather fine elements together start at the bottom, earth, water... I gave it a provisional name, Material Under Declassification or MUD for short; left it around. Not much happened. Then children discovered it, loved it. Not much progress. So I added fire. Easy-peasy; hot country I'd chosen for the lab. Time later for those colder Northern hearts. Yes. Had wait a fair mantime; but it passed like no time at all. 'They' discovered bricks. Things really started to move. Or rather, rest in bijou residences. Labourers, have you noticed, get bored. Especially with no one passing to whistle at. I didn't invent the hajib, any more than I invented figleaf bikinis and shame - they did. So - bored labourer in brickyard takes out half-baked brick (like him...) and papyrus root (yeah, yeah, that comes later...) and writes rude words on brick. About his employer natch. 'Ph*** U Pharoah' Yes, it's all going nicely. Everything's god. Oops. meant to write, good..
