Lol! That's quite the set of chompers on 'er. ;-)
#2: Nancy Snyder (naneki) on Apr 12, 2008 [SPOILER]
WOW..what a mouth! nice puzzle :)

Squinting helped me see this one from close up- really neat idea! Thanks.
#4: m2 (mercymercy) on Apr 13, 2008 [SPOILER]
Apple? what apple? why always an apple? that's not how the story went.
#5: Nancy Snyder (naneki) on Apr 13, 2008
Thats true!
#6: Gypso (Gypso) on Apr 13, 2008 [SPOILER]
Nice Marcus. I love her nose! The whole thing (in true Marcus style) just popped right out!

Thank you. :D

Mercy, just what does the forbidden fruit of the tree of knowledge look like? Apples are tasty but I really like cherries. :)
#7: Nancy Snyder (naneki) on Apr 13, 2008
No one know since it doesn't appear on the earth anymore!
#8: m2 (mercymercy) on Apr 14, 2008 [SPOILER]
The tree is protected... don't know where the apple theory came from.. never gave me eternal life.
#9: m2 (mercymercy) on Apr 14, 2008 [SPOILER]
well at least not that I know of lol ;)
#10: Marie-Louise Ambrey (marz) on Apr 14, 2008
Great puzzle, I love your puzzles, keep up the great work :)
#11: Gypso (Gypso) on Apr 14, 2008 [SPOILER]
Maybe it's simply an alphabetical assumption Mercy. Imagine if the tree held forbidden animals? Eve might have bitten into an aardvark. :D
#12: m2 (mercymercy) on Apr 15, 2008
yuck lol

My philosophy as a programmer has always been that if users attempt to use your program improperly, then it's not the user's fault, it's the programmer's fault for designing a user interface that tempted the user down the path to folly.

That tree of knowledge has always struck me as a serious design flaw. Why did it's fruit have to be so yummy? If God had said, "You may eat of all the fruit in the garden, but please don't bite that smelly old aardvark over by the fish pond" then maybe mankind would still be in paradise today.

Though, come to think of it, given Adam and Eve would have been living in that garden an awfully long time, even infinitely long, it seems pretty inevitable that they would have eventually got around to biting the aardvark, so maybe the case was hopeless however you set it up.
#14: Nancy Snyder (naneki) on Apr 15, 2008
yes - that nasty old human nature :)
#15: m2 (mercymercy) on Apr 15, 2008 [SPOILER]
Sounds like you got around to the point Jan. So the next question is why create a hopeless situation?
#16: Debra Greene (dlegreen) on Apr 16, 2008 [SPOILER]
Amazing puzzle - and who knew that Eve had access to lipstick!!
#17: Nancy Snyder (naneki) on Apr 16, 2008
it was the berries!
#18: Jan Wolter (jan) on Apr 16, 2008
Maybe it's just the extremely limited color palette of webpbn.
#19: JoDeen Mozena (ozymoe) on Apr 24, 2008 [SPOILER]
OK...I have squiiiiinted and squinted...and it just won't pop out for me. What color are her teeth?...and is the apple green? lol

Sigh...I'm hopeless.

To understand what is good, you have to know evil. God created us all in heaven, but how are we to know how good it is? So that's why we enter the physical world. We are extensions of God who is learning by our experiences. That is the meaning of life. :)
#22: Arduinna (arduinna) on May 5, 2008 [SPOILER]
The aardvark of the knowledge of good and evil!

That's going to stick with me for a while!
#23: ErgoDyne (ergodyne) on Sep 8, 2008
As Alaris said, you cannot have good without evil.

Besides, doesn't it make you feel warm and fuzzy when someone you love CHOOSES to be with you, rather than is forced to?

I love it when my niece picks me to read to her.
#24: Bionerd (nieboo) on Sep 12, 2008 [SPOILER]
i like her mouth. I like how the puzzle made no sense until I read the description and then it popped out at me.
Thanks!!
#25: Jota (Jota) on Nov 28, 2008
Looks more like snow white's step mother or is it me?

oh, now I can see it! apricots are so much more wicked tasting than some nasty old apple.

and the whole thing smells of 'set-up' to me anyway.
#28: besmirched tea (Besmirched Tea) on Jan 30, 2021 [SPOILER]
I once ate an apple, and now I have eternal life.
So far, anyway.
#29: BlackCat (BlackCat) on Jan 30, 2021
Cannot see it.
#30: Byrdie (byrdie) on Jan 30, 2021 [SPOILER]
The apple is green, the lips are red, the face is to the right and the nose at center top.
