He done blowed up real good!
I love the last part of this:
Qari Zafar, a commander of Pakistani militants, has accidentally punched his own one-way ticket [he blew himself up] to Paradise.
[...]
All you ever hear is “If you die while committing jihad, you go to paradise and get 53 or 72 or 99 virgins (or whatever today’s number is). But we never hear them say “beautiful virgins.”So we have a question about the whole virgin thing. What happens if you blow yourself up, get to Paradise and find out the reason your 99 virgins are virgins is that they’re so fat, ugly and repulsive that no one wanted them?
#39 Dayum! You have to bring Salma up. That broad is hot!
I would dare say that Native American girls are way prettier than Aztecs and there should be some relation between them.
Same thing can be said about Caribes (one of the venezuelan tribes), you can find very pretty girls. Easier to find a pretty Venezuelan or Colombian or Brazilian broad (south American in general) than it is to find a nice central American one.
the better question here is “do you still get the virgins even if you go solo when you blow up?” is it the thought that counts?
#41–ha, ha. Pedro==you crack me up. You zoned out on Salma and forgot to insult anyone.
I guess maybe you are a heterosexual? Course, Salma would do that to anyone.
#43 Bobbo – Don’t give up on Pedro: I have a very gay friend who thinks he might be able to go straight for Salma.
#44–Animby==we are on the same page. I’m not gay, but I’m here for Pedro, no matter how yappy and annoying he is. Its a measure of our own humanity when we reach down to help those such as him.
But just imagine: Salma Hayak. For me, if she were only a bit “taller.” Pedro might wish she were a little hairier? ==== and the objectifying begins! Hah, hah.
I dated a ballerina once. As close to Hollywood as I ever want to get.
# 45 bobbo said “I dated a ballerina once. As close to Hollywood as I ever want to get.”
My first wife was a dancer on TV. Boy, did you luck out.
Of course, the dancing she did was not as classy as ballet but it was a step up from a strip club.
#45 I think you’re closer to the pond than you want to admit to yourself. Don’t get too close to Dallas
Ahhh, Bobbo! He cares about you. He worries about you. I think this may be the start of something wonderful!
Pedro–didja ever hear the joke “My Mom doesn’t understand that calling me a son of a bitch says something about her?”
And just what (err – who?) is the pond in the scenario you create?
Ha, ha.
I’d much rather talk about Salma Hayak or doing Kegel exercises with a dancer, than getting any closer to Pedro’s imaginary sex life.
#49 Well, you do a hell of a job proving otherwise. Keep hanging around with Dallas. Remember, forgive yourself because it’s not a choice.
they’re fat, ugly and repulsive American gals that look like Cheney and Meg Whitman!
#3,
Oddly enough, there is a theory that it is encoded information. Supposedly the number 72 creeped into multiple mythologies (or religions, depending on your viewpoint) as it has astronomical significance. For example, man was split into 72 languages after the Tower of Babel. Also see Egyptian Osirus’ conspirators (numbering 72).
72 happens to be the number of years it takes the Earth to precess 1 degree.
Alix, yes.
The shift is 1 degree in 72 years, where the angle is taken from the observer, not from the center of the circle.
Discovery of the precession of the equinoxes is generally attributed to the ancient Greek astronomer Hipparchus (ca. 150 B.C.).
BubbaRay,
Yup, Hipparchus discovered it for our times. That does not mean that it was not known before.
@Bobbo… sorry I missed the on-going discussion.
God allowing evil does not make God less than good. The Biblical God (and even the Greek gods) wanted people to honor them (just with different reactions to those who dis/honor them.) The Biblical God does not make us to be, or expect us to be, robots, and you are an example that! If humans were good because they were compelled, or if some supernatural occurrence forced them what would that prove? We are free to choose; belief in God or not, being good or not. Two points: God can handle whatever choices we make. Our choices do not make God good or bad. Epicurus is wrong in saying that because evil exists, God is either enjoying it, ineffectual or incompetent. Did Epicurus expect a God to change brain cells to prevent even the evil intention? a God to stop the tidal wave, the earthquake, the volcano, the hurricane? God seeks change, that evil can be changed to good. Oh, and the wave, hurricane and other natural “disasters” are only seen as evil from our perspective. The hurricane, for example, is a balancing act, transferring the heated tropical air into the higher latitudes. It is only evil when it floods our home.
