So... hmm... you tell me... which of the following is incongruous --

"Ours is a religion of peace, and if you disagree, we'll burn your embassy."

"If people made fun of the Jews, there would be outrage - oh wait - we make fun of the Jews all the time --- errr, yeah, there'd be outrage!"

"Ours is a religion of peace - and if they had killed Salman Rushdie like the fatwah called for, there never would have been this slanderous cartoon!"

Yah... you betcha, I'm convinced.

That, and does anyone know someone with a 50th percentile IQ??? I'm curious as to exactly how smart/dumb that is.

You are the large, round, friendly d20! (You probably didn't know this, but the shape of the twenty-sided die is called an Icosahedron.) You are the friendly, outgoing, outspoken, leader of friends. You are often looked up to, even though you don't normally deserve it. Most other types secretly wish they were you, and you'd give them tips on how, if only you had a clue yourself. Your charisma is often all you need, but you have your occasional moments of brilliance as well--just never when it's actually needed. You are the all-around good guy, a dependable chum, a respectable foe, and an inspiration to those who need one. Who says you can't get by on a smile and good looks alone?

Why?  Because if it's good enough for KNINJA it's good enough for me!  and the wind blow high and the wind blow low...

Congrats to KNINJA on becoming a REEEEL boy! 

- wood, it's not just for puppets anymore.

Oh yeah, and Detroit at New Years, FRIGGIN COLD!  and GREY, VERY GREY!  Oye.  Uh... and that's about it as far as Detroit goes, cold and grey.  They do have a cool lightrail inside the airport though, thought that was neat.  And I'm sick which is not hot :-/  Grr.
