    Gadhafi is blaming the unrest in his country on "rats". Hah! Hamsters really are sneaky, and will eventually take over the world.

            I didn't start the thread yesterday - just replied. And hamsters aren't political. They're just cute fuzzy little critters. Had one when I was a kid - my Dad called it a "rat". I think the gunpowder fumes are going to your brain. :) BTW - as I recall, you also replied with your "BACON" post. Also very insensitive as Muslims don't eat pork.

              You're assuming I wasn't completely aware of that when I posted my comment... Besides that, what gives you the impression that I - of all people here - am at all concerned about someobody's arbitrary dietary restrictions? Further, that's the muslim's cross to bear - oh wait... I think the cross thing is just for christians...

                There's nothing insensitive about BACON, I find it delicious.

                I must get a clever new signature for 2011.

                  Since it is 6:20AM here, I could use some bacon right now. [Drooling on his keyboard]

                                  IIRC you suggested he [Gadaffi] needs a beer. Now, I'm wouldn't claim to be an expert on all matters Islamic, but isn't that haram too? I hope you were duly offended by your own comment :-).

                                    A rabbi and a catholic priest are traveling together in the same railway compartment, and, as men of the cloth, strike up a conversation. After a while, the priest asks the rabbi "Tell me rabbi, have you ever eaten bacon, which is forbidden by your faith?". After a short pause, the rabbi replies "Yes, I must confess, having heard so much about it on code project I decided that to eat some bacon would be a very small sin, so I tried it. Tell me, have you ever had sex with a woman*, which is forbidden to you by your vocation as a catholic priest?" After an uncomfortable silence, the priest finally confesses "Yes, when I was very young, there was a very pretty and accommodating young lady in the choir, and in a moment of weakness, I gave in to the pleasures of the flesh." The rabbi leans towards the priest and says in a low voice "It's better than bacon, isn't it?" * In view of the apparent proclivities of priests of the catholic church, the rabbi thought it advisable to clarify the heterosexual nature of the encounter of which he was enquiring.

                                        IIRC you suggested he [Gadaffi] needs a beer. Now, I'm wouldn't claim to be an expert on all matters Islamic, but isn't that haram too? I hope you were duly offended by your own comment :-).
