[Peelod]

You misspelled turd.

[VOYAGER]

The first Polish Pope was always convinced he had developed the illness as a consequence of the attempt on his life.

He donated the bullet from his abdomen to the Fatima shrine in Portugal, believing that Our Lady of Fatima had both predicted the assassin's attempt and protected him from death.

Is there an oxymoron in this someplace, hmmm?

[RightOnline]

Gee swell.

Small wonder Islam is so hated around the rest of the world.

[Verginius Rufus]

Just imagine the welcome Sirhan Sirhan would get if he were released and sent home to the Palestinian Authority.

[Cicero]

Is this a custom? If so, does anyone know the origin?

Reminds me of the story of the prodigal son.

22But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:

23And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:

24For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

--Luke 15

I think he'd be more worried about them guarding HIS back! Bwaahahaaaaaaaaaa

[Shalom Israel]

Would you like him guarding your back?

Obviously not; I'd put him out in front.
