My comment was only intended to highlight Jones' lack of virtue.

Happy to be corrected if I'm wrong.

What the flying duck?

Hmmm.. that bible... I still wanna own a Russian... Well, a Canadian would be still ok, if no Russian expendable...Chalsall would be ok, if nothing better available... or... is he Barbadian now? I don't need a Barbadian... what should I do with it?

You can have Victor Bout, for all I care, but the scholastic question remains: is Russia a neighboring nation to Thailand? If memory serves me right, you can have burmese, malay, laotian and cambodian slaves (according to the Bible).

Hmm... you know... grr... arrr... you are right about that...

But for the pleasure and the honor of it, I will move back to Romania...

(in spite of the thing that... technically.. well... there is no borderline between the two, anymore... Or.. is it? I still don't know who is holding the Snake's island now...I promise I will google for it)

edit: ok, an Ukrainean would suffice... (what the hack! I would swear that that island is Russian territory! those guys wanted so bad the control in that part of the black sea! but well, I left since over 13 years...)

(hehe, don't be angry with me, I am just joking, on your and Chris' account, even I don't give a sh!t, the following is a fact: I grew up hearing every winter that "everything that is bad comes from the north east"...)

it doesn't make it less stupid that he survived, only less tragic.

Hear, Hear.
People who do this sort of thing in the name of Christianity really give us a bad name. The majority wouldn't even consider doing a lot of what actually makes the new these days. A fair bit of the good stuff is censored/not front page news these days.

Full report at the BBC. I love blasé reaction.

On closer inspection, the foliage looks rather more like Cupressus x leylandii than Quercus robur to me. I deny all responsibility.

I am reminded of a very early Bill Cosby routine. His story speculated on running off the road, hitting a tree, and then telling the police, "I was driving down the road, minding my own business, when this tree jumped out of the woods and bit my car!"
