Savage Thoughts

Check out this post at Savage Minds. I had a similar post a while ago myself. The other thing that is not mentioned in either post is that it's more than likely that at least one of Columbus' navigators was an Arab Muslim, fleeing the reconquista.

But people actually listen to him. Good speech. If OBL and company believe themselves to be God(s), what faith do they believe in?

Dear Friends,

Salaam aleykum. I hope you've been keeping warm and healthy through the winter! This email includes events and updates on the Afghan Mobile Mini Circus for Children (MMCC).

MIT's Juggling Club is throwing a Juggle Mania!! benefit performance for the MMCC. Some great entertainment, for a good cause. Club President David Rush brought in Peter Panic, and I'll do a straight jacket escape while jumping rope. We all must escape from something, a bondage of some sort...

If you can make it, I encourage you to come!

Other quick updates, in no particular order:
