A kilted Scotsman was walking down a country path after finishing off a large amount of whisky at a local pub. He felt quite sleepy and decided to nap against a tree.
As he slept, two female tourists heard his loud snoring. When they found him, one said, "I've always wondered what a Scotsman wears under his kilt."

She boldly walked over to the sleeper, raised his kilt, and saw that he wore nothing at all. Her friend said, "Well, the mystery is solved! Let's thank him for sharing!"

She took off her pretty blue hair ribbon and gently tied it around the Scotsman's endowment. A while later, the Scotsman was awakened by the call of nature. He raised his kilt and was bewildered at the sight of the neatly tied blue ribbon. He stared for a minute, then said, "I don't know where y'been laddie... but it's nice ta see you won firrrst prrrize!"

Every three-year old knows God did it, and created Adam and Eve, if that wasn't the truth, why wouldn't we be teaching them about monkeymen and space aliens, or whatever it is your religion believes.............

to SDW:

Thanks for compliementing on my Avatar picture. The black and white yin-yang is the traditional symbol for Taoism. When Buddhism merged with Taoism to create Zen Buddhism, the Buddhist symbol of the red and black yin-yang was chosen to represent their faith. Mine is actually older, but the two are actual the same when you get all technical with it.

Based on the 2004 election, the Coalition has 19 of the 36 Senators who are not up for election on Saturday -- 4 in Queensland, 3 in New South Wales, 3 in Western Australia, 3 in Tasmania, 3 in South Australia, and 3 in Victoria. The ALP has 14 -- 3 in New South Wales, 3 in South Australia, and 2 each in Queensland, Tasmania, Western Australia, and Victoria. The Greens have 2 -- 1 each in Tasmania and Western Australia -- and Family First has 1 -- in Victoria.

To keep its majority, the Coaltion needs 20 of the 40 Senators up for election. The easiest way for the Coaltion to get 20 is to get 3 from each of the states (for a total of 18) and 1 from each of the territories. The question is whether you think the Coaltion can accomplish this goal? If you think they are going to fall short, in which state (or states) do you think the Coaltion will fail to get 3 Senators or in which territory (or territories) will the Coaltion fail to get a Senator?

Halfway down the trail to hell
In a shady meadow green,
Are the souls of all dead troopers camped
Near a good old-time canteen
And this eternal resting place
Is known as Fiddler's Green.
Marching past, straight through to hell,
The infantry are seen,
Accompanied by the Engineers,
Artillery and Marine,
For none but the shades of Cavalrymen
Dismount at Fiddlers' Green.
Though some go curving down the trail
To seek a warmer scene,
No trooper ever gets to Hell
Ere he's emptied his canteen,
And so rides back to drink again
With friends at Fiddlers' Green.
And so when man and horse go down
Beneath a saber keen,
Or in a roaring charge or fierce melee
You stop a bullet clean,
And the hostiles come to get your scalp,
Just empty your canteen,
And put your pistol to your head
And go to Fiddlers' Green.

Pius XII entlisted a Jew to save him from the Nazis

"I’m not a believer, I don’t go to church, but if I found myself before Pius XII I’d get down on my knees, because if my children and I are in existence, we owe it to him."

Silvio Ascoli, Roman, class of 1945, was emotional as recounted the story of his father Bruno, "of the Jewish race" according to the norms of the infamous racial laws, whom the Vatican saved from deportation by enrolling him in its Guard.

Last June the Cardinal Secretary of State spoke about this: "In October 1943, aside from the police and the Swiss Guard, there was also the Palatine Guard. To protect the Vatican and the extraterritorial holdings there were some 575 Palatine Guards.. Thus, the Secretary of State asked the powers occupying Italy to be able to take on another 1425 people for inclusion in the roles of the Palatine Guard. The Jewish Ghetto would just a little distance away…".

Now a new witness testifies to the help.

"My father was born in 1910, my granfather’s family belonged to the Jewish community in Ancona, and his sister with her husband were to be deported to Auschwitz." Bruno, who died in 1970, was the son of a mixed marriage and didn’t frequent the Roman Jewish community. On 28 October 1938, just after the racial laws went into force, the man asked to be baptized.

But it was too late to escape the jaws of the regime which were closing around the Jews. The parish priest tried to help him, writing that Ascoli had attended catechism since August of that year, but it didn’t make any difference.

"My folks tried to approach the Ministry of the Interior, attesting that they weren’t enrolled in the Jewish community. But the response was that whoever had a Jewish parent, and couldn’t prove he belonged to another religion at the time when the racial laws went into effect, was considered to be a Jew. My father was baptized to late. for my family this was a terrible blow."

Thus the Ascoli were forced to declare at the Governor of Rome’s offices their membership of the "Jewish race". Two years later, in 1940, Bruno married in church, a Catholic, Maria Bianchi, even though the marriage could not have civil effect. "My mother married him knowind that things could go bad." The couple found a place in the via Famagosta in the Trionfale quarter.

In October 1943, after the arrival of the Germans in the capital, Bruno Ascoli became a wanted by the police. "One day the fascists and nazis showed up at the house and asked for my father. Luckily, he was out. My family managed to let him know not to come back." Bruno escaped and briefly found a place in the loft of the repair shop of a tire dealer. "He stayed there for two week, and my mother went secretly to take him something to eat. But at the end of October, the tire dealer made him leave because it had become too dangerous to keep him there. That is when, thanks to the concern of an uncle who worked in the Vatican Museum as an usher, my father came to be enlisted in the Palatine Guard." Bruno Ascoli became an auxiliary of the Pope’s honor guard, and could live at the Vatican.

"He saved his skin! He stayed there for a few months. There are photos which show him in the Palatine Guard uniform within the walls of the Vatican. In December 1943 he got precious safe-conduct papers from the Holy See attesting to his membership in the Pope’s honor guard." Silvio, the son, explained that he was in a kind of rotation, in the attempt to save as many persecuted people as possible.

"In the first months of 1944, the Holy See told my father about another hideout, in the Via Mocenigo, near the Vatican walls, close to a wood warehouse. This proves there was an organized network of aid and assistance. I also told this to my children: if the Vatican had not helped my father, I would not be here. I believe that Pope Pacelli chose well: no public denunciations which would have provoked acts of repression – I don’t dare imagine what would have happened had the SS entered the Vatican – but rather give concrete help to the persecuted."
