There are no whore pills in heaven  :)

There is no need, I hear it is populated only by virgins

:mmm:

You know there's a reason they're virgins.

They have the blu ray Star Trek sets.

I'm going to Valhalla. Unless I die in bed of course.
Not valorous enough.  If you really wanted to get to Valhalla, you'd go all Breivik on some anti-nuke Swedes or something.

I have yet to decide on a spree.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Yeah, my idea of heaven is somebody that hasn't learned how to give a decent blow job.

You'll learn quickly. Do they let blacks into heaven btw?

In heaven:

The police are British, the chefs are Italian, the mechanics are German, the lovers are French, and everything is organized by the Swiss.

In hell:

The police are German, the chefs are British, the mechanics are French, the lovers are Swiss, and everything is organized by the Italians.
You mis-stated the joke, slightly.  It's not "everything is organized by," it's "the bankers are..."

Do you know a version that includes Sumerians and Hittites?  :)

No.  Go ahead and tell it, if you remember how to translate it from your mother tongue.  :)

Sumerian, hell, damned near killed 'em!

In hell, the bosses are Egyptians, the lovers are Hittites and the soldiers are Sumerian.

In heaven, the bosses are Hebrew, the lovers are Hebrew and the soldiers are Hebrew.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I thought this thread was about the Republic of Heaven attacking the Manticoran Kingdom.

Just so you know, Heaven and Manticore are now allies against the Solarian League and the Mesan Alignment.

Good to know, Seige.

What? Whatever happens in the Honorverse is very important.

It is the best story about how humankind would have expanded across the stars without the Technological Singularity.

Of course, the singularity will happen long before we make it to the stars, which means we are not going to colonize any planets.
A post-singularity civilization needs no colonies, and very little natural resources.
We might still explore the Galaxy, but it will be for the sake of exploration and knowledge, not looking for colonies or resources.
