Michiel, 
	"I will rise" means "rising to the occasion", "rise to ask a
question", or "rise to the bait".  "Rise to the bait" means some one
has made a statement that is "loaded" or "baited" and is hoping
someone will be gulible enough to ask a question about it.  Then the
fun begins. : )    
	Also there is "trolling" which means the above and  has become
Internet slang, along with such terms as "flame" "spam" and "Macing"

 So the subject was Rib Removal, and since no one asked "why?" I
figured every one was waiting with "bated breath". 

So I asked....

Which in itself is a troll, and the answer....

Which seems to prove there is more than one god, at least on this
list, or only one more theosophist on this  list.
