Has anyone noticed how many of the villains or lowlife characters have Italian names? Seems pretty funny to me. Also, the plot of the first Harry Potter book is nothing but a blatant rip off of Star Wars, only geared towards women and children instead of the 18-34 year-old men. If you don't believe me, here's the link that emphasizes it the best.

This twentieth century double differential algorythmic ode basicaly takes the form a rant by , in this case, by a disillusioned bass player.

Last days of the Dead (6/8 GCDC) by X.P. Penfold

These stories are true only the facts have been changed
to make it more interesting they're rearranged
and I changed the names

Now Frank's burning babies on homefires of blazing
bibles of music and somewhere in Fordham
Marty plays Cajun with Will and dedication
They'll be there on Sunday
Mourning the death of a band that was reggae, calypso, rubbish

These stories are true only the facts have been changed
to make it more interesting they're rearranged
and I changed the names

Four clicks for the drummer who came in too late
to save a number of screaming girls crushed
in the rush for the bass man
who ran away to live with Rachel
E viva Pamplona

The singer starts the old tapedeck, puts a tape around his neck
as he stands on the chair, for the final replay
a thin man in the shadows, kicks the chair away
and Rob's the hangman
of any little sense that he had.

These stories are true only the facts have been changed
to make it more interesting they're rearranged
and I changed the names, then I changed 'em back again

Do you know why islam proclaims Jerusalem one of *their* holy sites?
Do you know why Sunnis and Shi'a fight each other?
Did you know that at one time Christians and Jews were considered lesser allies to islam and their early rulers?
Are you aware that 'infidel' cannot be applied to a Christian according to the Koran?
How rooted in history are islamic atrocities?

In my article, "The Holy City of Jerusalem and the Ummayyad Caliphate," I address the history of atrocities as well as how the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem became a 'sacred' site.

No politics. Only the objective groundtruth from a combat veteran that has been to both fronts of our War on Terror, backed up by independent research and historical study.

today.

A huge meteor has knocked us out of orbit.

Buildings are collapsing, the earth is being ripped apart.

A volcano rips open under Bill Or'ielly's feet and that bastard finally dies.

Everything you know and once knew is coming to an end.

What do you do?

How many more Jews would have been born if the holocost (which was the death of 6million jews) never occured? How many more people would be alive if Hitler never reigned (i think the total deaths were about 12 million)?

I'm playing at a local farmer's market this weekend to earn some money for a trip. Knowing that there will be a lot of young kids around, what are some good kids tunes that I can play for them? So far, I'm only thinking of Mary Had a Little Lamb, Are You Sleeping, Happy Birthday, and All Around the Mulberry Bush (the monkey/weasal gag), and Twinkle Twinkle.

Any other ideas?

The Clarihew is a four line poem with the rhyming scheme aa-bb where the first line is the name of the subject of a poem.

Examples:

BF Skinner
Found a way, a sure-fire winner
To condition a rodent, and that
Is like pulling a habit out of a rat

Lt. Col. Oliver North (retired)
Lied to congress and that got him fired.
His PROFS notes, he appeared to lose,
And now he's working for Fox News.

Poem: NAILS: "Whenever the bright blue nails would drop down on the floor of the carpenter shop, St. Joseph, prince of carpenter men, would stoop to gather them up again. For he feared for two little feet, that the bright blue nails their soles would pierce--I don't remember the rest, it ends with Jesus having His feet nailed to the cross . Any answer would be appreciated! This is from an old Catholic reader that I had in the early 1940's, in St. Louis, Mo.

Prey

The arrows fly by, missed,
My flesh kissed, grazed,
They will persist, hunting me,
I hear grunting, they’re slow;
And I, unwanting to die…run.
