It's called the Great Blue Hole, and it's off the coast of Belize. And yes, it does go all the way to China.

Not tonight, my friend. I am packing up my bass and heading over to a friend's house to jam and smoke copious amounts of weed. Tomorrow I shall return.

@Annarchy: Dontcha know! In related news, Bristol's future mother-in-law (Levi's mom) just got arrested for selling meth. I had to check: Wasilla isn't part of Alabama.

@thelotuseater725: Tiki takes the position of a "strong" atheist, as do I. He just exercises brevity, whereas I like to type. I'm sure that if you bought him a beer (or three) he could pontificate until the wee hours on the specifics and historicity of religion. My thoughts are much the same as his, though I feel it's more the "campfire stories of middle-eastern tribal nomads" than the caveman controlling his offspring. Unless you replace caveman with "those who wield authority", and offspring with "general population". In that case, we're one and the same.

@dieAntagonista: Thanks for the info, but there are two problems with your hypothesis: 1) The Earth was far from underpopulated by humans ~5k years ago. There were an estimated 300-600 million humans living on the planet then (ref: Population Today, Nov/Dec 2002). 2) You fail to provide any reference to your source. Sweetie, I'm a data junkie, so if you want to impress your knowledge upon me, you best back it up. Also, being a devout Jew for most of my life (gave it up and became an atheist ten years ago), I am aware of the many differences in translation and interpretation of the Bible. You are correct on your secondary points, specifically that in Judaism/Old Testament, there is no hell.

Or maybe it's Richard Branson you hate. C'mon, fess up!

@LukeV1-5: Ah, now I know where I recognize her from... Claire on Lost. I never watched the show until I caught some reruns on Sci-Fi channel. Went to the ABC site, they have all episodes streaming in HD. Spent the next month watching two or three episodes a night, more than 80 in all. Love the fucking show, and I'm not someone who watches much, if any tv. The new season premieres Jan 21 with a 2 hour special, plus a one hour catchup beforehand. And yes, they all go back to the island, wherever it might be. Lost rocks!

She's got my x-wife's lower back.

@Goldfinger: Literalism or allegory are taken as necessary to benefit those who use the Bible to promote their own agenda. For example, homosexuality is decried as an abomination in the Bible, and that fact is specifically used as a rallying point by homophobic pastors to goad their megachurch populations into defeating civil laws allowing same-sex unions. But, turn a few pages, and Leviticus also states that adultery is an abomination, as is divorce, and for that matter, eating shellfish or mixing milk and meat. But you don't hear Rick Warren telling the world that we should legislate action against adulterers. You never hear about Proposition 9, the anti-shellfish law. If there is a God, and he turns out to be a giant, black, gay lobster, then we are all screwed.

I see someone's slept off their hangover. ;)
Comment on America - Freedom for sale (2008-12-20 16:19:18)
If we had to our original objective of getting those who attacked our sovereign soil, then we wouldn't fucking be in Iraq. And Bin Laden would be dead. And we'd be having this argument over Afghanistan, which everyone seems to have conveniently forgotten about. Hussein was a prisoner in his own country, and he didn't stand for that al-qaida bullshit. Now, Iraq is a haven for terrorists. Good job, executive branch, good job.

@dieAntagonista: "but of course how can you expect such an old scripture to be 100% accurate after such a long time. " Especially since the parts about Jesus weren't written until at least 30-40 years after his death.

Comment on NSFW - Armored Woman (2008-12-20 12:19:35)
@sylvanish: Amazon women were an invention of greek mythology, possibly based on historicity. In other words, the only records of their existence stems from Greek art and literature. Oh, and they weren't from South America, but an area near Turkey.

KvC refers to the goosestepping member, Komissar-something. @dieAntagonista: Be lucky you don't have KFC. A trip through one of their kitchens, and you'd swear off chicken forever. Unless you were a fat girl who liked to bathe in restaurant sinks.
