Interesting point. Does the phrase "for pete's sake as god intended" equate pete with god? It's possible that pete is not god and yet god's intentions are in pete's best interest, so something could be "for pete's sake" and "as god intended" without pete being god. That said, "for pete's sake" is probably a just an cleaned up version of "for god's sake", so I probably did call pete god. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow! This PORCUPINE knows at his ZIPCODE...
