Hard to beat the idiot in charge of the Russian Army in 1914, who's long Russian name I'm never able to remember.

Sir Nit is gone!?!? That's just... wrong!
Bad reality sneaking up on one in cyberspace like that.

"Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us ...

When was the last time, if any, that nations "merged"? Not, one nation conquering another, but two or more countries merging together? Open a history book for five minutes. Unification was very popular during the age of nationalism - just staying in one country... Germany - North German C...

I have read that text book companies have actually been saying "No" to inserting creationism in them. Hardly surprising, they do have a reputation to uphold - and a market outside the Texas cretinists. Selling on the biggest market would be nice, but not if you can't sell anywhere else. I...

Didn't Texas have this fight before? And, IIRC, the cretinist lost rather badly since there were no scientific alternatives to the currently accepted theories on cosmology and evolution.

Doesn't Spain have enough problems as it is? It seems they are even willing to jump into bed with the oil-company stealing Argentinians...

Sounds more like a movie script really.

He also asked whether Malala would have received as much attention if she had been hurt in a CIA drone strike. That's actually kind of a good point, whatever else one might say about the rest. LOL! If the CIA had bombed her for going to school I think we can confidently say that the backlash would ...

Why would christian churches be so interested in scrolls that pre-date Jesus?

Evolution in action.

EDIT: Although the almost certainly was something else wrong with this fellow.

I once saw a light in the sky. It looked like just another star but it was moving. Even more strangely it was slowing down until it became stationary for about a minute before abruptly moving off at a sharp angle compared to it's original heading. At first I thought it was a high flying plane, then ...

Once might be stupidity, twice is insanity!

I would say "HA HA!" If it wasn't so damn serious.

Barbaric!

Wonderful.
I doubt this will end well.

What happened to the state HELPING the mothers? Educating them in what the should or should not do while pregnant? There are two problems for the "modern" Republican right there. Helping someone = socialism. Education = Godlessness. Much better to just throw people in jail - and profitabl...

The ones who should sue are the ones that didn't win those years. The sponsors got most of their monies worth a long time ago.

I thought Washington and Oregon was more civilized than that.

Although one really shouldn't be surprised by weird stuff in the US when it concerns the three Gs, it is hard not to be. Perhaps the US do need all those silly marriage laws that have popped up in recent years, not to prevent gays from marrying but to keep NRA members from marrying their guns, they ...
