I'm still waiting for Phelps and bin Laden to be caught on tape givin each other BJ's in a San Francisco bath house.  :lol: However, I wonder if the bin Ladens and Phelps's of the world would vanish if the so-called "silent majority" of Christians in the US and Muslims in the Mid East stood up...

Close enough, Albie! Clydesdales are great work horses, and are from Scotland. Many of Ontario's early settlers came from Scotland, and thus brought their favourite horses. They kept on with them because the big beasts were great for hauling timber in the thousands of lumber camps in the colony...

I recently had this put to me, and to be honest I don't know where I stand on it: Average American Christians should be accountable for Fred Phelps inasmuch as average Muslims are to blame for Osama bin Laden. For you Euros who don't know who Fred Phelps is, he's the guy who runs the Westboro...

I don't know for sure, but they'll have been undefeated for the entire season, right? I'll guess at 8 games in the regular season and...three more in the post season? I dunno.You'll need to know stuff about European and Canadian history and geography for this one. Historically, why were...

So the Toronto Stock Exchange, Canada's main centre of high commerce, is in the shits today. It lost about CDN $90,000,000,000 in value just today (about 500 points lost, in all). Apparently world markets have gone crazy today too. The US markets were closed due to the Martin Luther King Jr Day...

How can Ethiopia and Africa be considered separate things? The former is a subset of the latter, you silly Mongol. It's like saying France drinks the most wine per capita, and Europe drinks the 2nd most.

Most of us on these forums are smart people. Let's use our collective brains to try to predict the future. Post what you think are plausible headlines for major newspapers next week. What do you think will be the "big story" in the world seven days from now? Will there be an assassination? Will...

The African country you're looking for is Nigeria. Can we move on now? Forostar, LC and I actually frightened our teachers in High School about how we memorized obscure fact, especially ones having to do with geography (which often come up on this thread). As you suggest, we actually DID do...

We miss ya here, you old pig f**ker. Happy birthday!

Oh fuck yes. I wholeheartedly agree here. I can't tell you how many times Latin/Classics students have attempted to argue with me on the meaning of certain words in modern English (like "decimate"). Yes, the word might have meant X in this language, but in modern English, we use it to mean Y...

Re: USA Elections: Candidates Comparison 18 straight years of government deficits? I know Germany has had huge problems in absorbing the East and no other country has had to deal with anything remotely like that, but jeebus....that's insane! Perun, your grandchildren, sadly, are probably going...

Anyone with half an ounce of sense when it comes to the 'net has been using non-MS products for years. There are dozens of great browsers to choose from, and at least five really good mail clients. Personally, I go with Mozilla products (Firefox and Thunderbird) for their ability to be...

Re: USA Elections: Candidates Comparison My ideal situation would be this: Mike Huckabee and Hillary Clinton win the nominations for their respective parties. Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich join together to run under the "Constitutional" ticket - so named because they seem to be the only...

Well played, Perun! I had never even heard about the African one. Excellent questions!

Japan still has an emperor, I believe. As far as I can recall off the top of my head they're the only country that still has one, and he performs a constitutional function like Queen Elizabeth II - a figurehead. I'm willing to bet there's a trick to your question, Per, and the real answer is...

Re: Homosexualism If you're against gay marriage, don't marry a gay person. But just because you don't like something morally doesn't mean you can force your view on it upon everyone else. I, for instance, think Christianity is evil, putrid, and one of the most dreadful forces facing humanity...

Best internet prank I've seen in quite some time. Kudos guys! You had me going until LC let me in on the whole thing.

Happy Dukeday to everyone!
