'Tis a Puzzlement

William is not the first, nor will he be the last, to liken solution of the mystery of life to the hardest jigsaw puzzle ever. The image is so compelling because in both cases the pieces are not in any order and are scattered all over, some of the pieces are missing, there is no picture of the completed work to guide us, and the identity and intent of the maker is unknown.

William's Whimsical Words:

Other than that, it's a piece of cake.
