Hey, if I knew how I did it, I'd tell you, lol.

BTW, do we know a red car with RIX 888 plates on here? If so, I spotted him parked off Eastern Valley Way yesterday on my way home. It rang a bell for some reason. Maybe I'm thinking of Rick from Melbourne...

If this wasnt for real it would be funny

British woman facing lashes over Muhammad teddy bear
By Africa correspondent Andrew Geoghegan
November 27, 2007 - 9:35AM
Source: ABC
A British school teacher arrested in Sudan faces up to 40 lashes for blasphemy after allowing her students to name a teddy bear Muhammad.

Gillian Gibbons, 54, is said to be fearing for her life after a group of men shouted death threats at her as she was taken into custody by Sudanese authorities.

She was arrested after parents of some of her students accused her of insulting the prophet of Islam.

Colleagues at Khartoum's Unity High School say she made the innocent mistake of letting her six and seven-year-old pupils name the class teddy bear Muhammad.

Under Sudan's Sharia law, the punishment for blasphemy is 40 lashes, or up to six months in jail.

Cheers
Michael

WTF? That's nasty!

So, you can't call your teddy bear mohummad, but it's ok to call your son that?

What sort of warped idea is that?

And to be punished for allowing it, so what? Some people should be put down!

Whoa whoa whoa people.

Let's get religion out of here please. Right now.

This is a very dangerous area of discussion. You want to debate it, go to one of the zillion sites that cater for it.

You can call me a wannabe mod all you like. I know how badly this can go wrong.

The important thing to remember is that we all have a responsibility to ensure all girls are protected from intruding and potentially dangerous snakes....

Wrong............. ........... 4 to 8 feet of shooting venom

Venom can be ejected otherwise than by a bite, as in the so-called spitting cobras of the genera Naja and Hemachatus. Some of these deadly snakes, when irritated, are capable of shooting venom from the mouth, at a distance of 4 to 8 feet. These snakes' fangs have been modified for the purposes of spitting: inside the fangs of a spitting cobra is a channel which makes a ninety degree bend to the lower front of the fang. When the snake is threatened the muscles of the venom gland squeeze the venom sack and as a result venom is projected forward. Spitters may spit thirty or forty times in succession, and even then the snake is still able to deliver a fatal bite.

Spitting is a defensive reaction only. The snake tends to aim for the eyes of a perceived threat; a direct hit can cause temporary shock and blindness through severe inflammation of the cornea and conjunctiva. While there are no serious results if the venom is washed away at once with plenty of water, the blindness caused by a successful spit can become permanent if left untreated. Contact with the skin is not in itself dangerous, but open wounds may become envenomed.

Cheers
Michael
