Tonight will probably be a further escalation of the Paris Intifada/Jihad. How many cars do you think the Muslim terrorists will burn tonight?

Just under a thousand because the government wants a lower figure.

I have been troubled by the numbers throughout this entire escapade. I once had a friend with a Peugeot that caught fire all by itself, two times that I know of.

1500-2000 nationwide.

Awww... you're gonna play a range?  C'mon.  It's a slow Sunday, and it is your thread, but we really ought to peg one number per poster.

I'm thinking 853.  I clearly have much more faith in the inherent goodness of man than you do.

I'm wondering how many police stations are going to burn tonight.

1143

I'll take the under by five.

That means nothing, doesn't it?

If we guess correctly and "win," do we get one of those Ann Coulter dolls, like other times?

Hey, this is kind of a fun idea. Another good pool would be to guess when the first car will burn in Germany. And while burning a French made car should be considered an act of mercy, it will be a real shame to see BMW's, Mercedes and Porsches go up in smoke.

What I'm wondering is...do they have a Ministry of Burnt Autos that actually goes around counting the number of cars that got torched the night before..."Alors,Jacques.....they got another Renault over here"

After listening to the French on the bully pulpit criticizing America for everything from global warming to the Democrat caused crisis in New Orleans, I can only think of one man to quote right now.

H. Rap Brown.

How many rampaging mohommedans are going to get clubbed over the skulls by baton-wielding French police trying to assert order?

Sadly, I'm guessing that's a big round 0. I'd love to be wrong.

Hopefully over 10000

But, more realistically...2500 max.
