“The whole history of calendar-making is that of successive attempts to reconcile the irreconcilable, and the numberless systems of intercalated months, and the like, are thus of minor scientific interest.” ~Joseph Needham
I almost forgot to wish all of the followers of the Coptic Calendar a Happy New Millenium. In Addis Ababa, the party planners moved all of the homeless people to the countryside and poisoned the stray dogs to tidy up for the big day. What a bunch of humanitarians. I think both transient dogs and people make for a better party. But what do I know? I’m a slave to the Gregorian calendar.

I like that there are different calendars. Everyone should use mine. Year zero started 39 years ago on the 19th.

The thing that bothers me the most about that article is the fact that the Black Eyed Peas went to Ethiopia, the poorest country like, ever, to perform a concert where tickets were $150 per! What a bunch of miserable douchebags.

Oh, and also the dog poisoning thing and clearing the streets of the homeless. I’m also totally against that.

Sure you are, Michael. Why’d you pour that transmission fluid in a trough on the side of the road a few days before Jazz Fest then? Huh?

It’s because transmission fluid doesn’t kill rats, it just makes them lethargic.
Then when you get them home you just pop them in a plastic bag with a little ammonium carbonate, cover it in KY, and you’re good to go.

Hey, it’s not exactly a shot in the dark. Who doesn’t like a live rodent trying to rip its way though their colon eventually suffocating and doing a death convulsion against their prostate?
Osama Bin laden, that’s who.

I’m saying. If we stop lubing up furry little creatures to shove in our butts, the terrorists win.

I was talking about stray dogs not rats. But, I understand… when something is topmost on your mind, everything seems like it’s about that. Here’s a fetish forum that might be more satisfying for you guys:
