Heh.
There's this crappy TV show called Clever V Stupid and midway through it they decide to see how thick the public is and ask a question of ordinary people.
My sister popped up on it last night
Q: What is the Queen's name?
A: err....Elizabeth Tylor is it?
She was thinking of Elizabeth Taylor of course  :lol:
:lol:

To allow Muslims to finance cars, my employer has created a scheme that is apparently Islamic scholar approved: they just make the cars more expensive by the amount that interest would cost and let the Muslim customers pay off that new higher price in rates. Religion is funny.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Decoy

HMS Decoy has been the name of a few navy ships over the years.
Now....
Who the hell would be willing to serve on a ship called HMS Decoy?
Its really not the sort of name to fill a crew with confidence in their survival.
Especially next to typical British ship names like Invinsible, Resilient and Pretty Darn Great.

Could be worse, could be serving on the Pretty Damn Horrible.

Well, in the case of the third HMS Decoy, those not wanting to die, as I would note that seven of her eight sisters were sunk during the War.

I'd never let my sister live something like that down. In fact, if my sister did something that stupid on tv I'd probably be so mean to her she wouldn't speak to me for a month.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

At any rate, you probably shouldn't have laughed at a Ravens family member.  Faggot.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Several years ago I was playing Trivial Pursuit with soem friends. One of them got a question, and I can't remember the exact wording, but it went something like this, "Kazakstan's DirkaDirka Blank rivals the Hoover in size being so many dozen sof feet tall."

HIs answer was vacuum cleaner.
PDH!

I didn't mock him publicly, all my joy was on the inside.
