Ever done the tourist rounds in New England? Made it to the monument at Plymouth Rock? Been… underwhelmed? Well, just imagine what kids on school trips think of it: no wonder it made a list of ten lame landmarks.
Come to think of it, I don’t know why Indians come to protest here every Thanksgiving, all mournful-like. Why bother? They’ve got a memorial that, even unfinished, is already impressive.

He’s onto us!
The seamy underbelly of St. Blog’s is exposed by Jeff Miller: he says that some people listed as participants in group blogs rarely or never post. Obviously a case for some truth-in-labeling enforcement, eh?

If your religion teacher had been a mystic, she would have said….
“I want you to know class, I’ve got a touch of the stigmata today so I can’t play kickball at recess. If I fall into ectasy please don’t tape signs to me or clean the erasers in my hair. Just tell Fr. Preston to give me an obedience to snap out of it – that usually does the trick. He’s going to come by at 1 to make sure I am giving you that test and not in spiritual rapture so you’d better be ready. I appreciate the velcro you’ve given me for my shoes – I know the levitation was a little hard to take during study hall. This morning I’ll be explaining the development of Trinitarian doctrine and biolocating next door to do conferences with your parents. Billy, there is a devil sitting on your shoulder. His name is Juju and he’s about to feed you another Twinkie. You’d better stop what you are doing and pray for some self-control.”

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysian (Reuters) — Malaysian Muslim men can divorce their wives through text messages on mobile telephones, the New Straits Times daily reported on Saturday, quoting a religious adviser to the government.
Hamid Othman, adviser to Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, said divorce via SMS or short messaging service was in accordance with sharia law if it was clear and unambiguous.
“SMS is just another form of writing,” the daily quoted Hamid as saying, following an Islamic court decision on Thursday that ruled in favor of a man who served divorce on his wife using SMS.
Islamic law permits a man to divorce his wife by declaring “I divorce you” three times.
