There are more lions and tigers in the United States than in the far east and or
africa. There are more of these creatures in America, in Zoo's and private
collectors alive than in the continents that they come from. The second part of
this trivia, is most "foot ball coliseums "are shaped and designed like the great coliseum in Rome,
hummmmm....... just a thought, if ya can connect the dots.

[UberVernunft]

ummmmmm, midget christians, tenderized.

That was part of the infamous Roman sandwich known as the "trilogy". Other ingredients included mouth watering goat cheese and filet of moose.

Believe it or not!

What does LION and TIGER GUMBO taste like?

[dighton]

At last, some interesting facts.

[damnlimey]

The correct plural of "moose" is "moose." There is no change. This is just like "deer" or "elk," who also have no alteration: the plural is just like the singular

You're both wrong,it's "Mooii"

There are 21,000 lions in Africa.

No wonder it took you so long to reply. You were counting them?

Banking on American stupidity, by Michelle Malkin
Some American banks just don't get it. Here we are, at war with deadly foreign terrorists who exploited our lax
immigration policies, and what are these U.S. financial institutions doing? Making it easier for illegal immigrants
to do business inside our borders.

Terrorism vs. Tyranny - Which Is More Dangerous?, by Andrew Johnstone, RPh/MD
Americans are certainly up to the task of getting back to our normal lives - I'd trust any U.S. citizen to unfailingly
choose the best option for long-distance phone service, or the best accessory package on a new minivan. As far
as our ability to respond intelligently, rationally, or effectively to terrorism, I have my doubts.

SHEEPLE AND SUNSHINE PATRIOTS, by Mel Young
In 1814 we took a little trip along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip. We took a little bacon and
we took a little beans And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans". It's quite a stretch of time
between 1814 and 2001.

How To Control People, by Charley Reese
The difference between true education and vocational training has been cleverly blurred. Here are a few tips on
how smart people can control other people. If any of this rings a bell - Well, then wake up!

The Regime of Fear, by Joseph Sobran
A new Andrews McKenna Research poll has asked an interesting question and gotten an interesting answer. It
asked: "Which do you worry about more: receiving an audit notice from the IRS in the mail [or] receiving anthrax
in the mail?" The IRS beat anthrax handily - - 50 per cent to 32 per cent. And the IRS did it without benefit of
hysterical publicity.

The Taliban of the West, by George Monbiot
Another term for "full-spectrum dominance" is absolute power. The pre-Enlightenment has just been beaten by
the post-Enlightenment. As the last fundamentalist fighters are hunted through the mountains of eastern
Afghanistan, the world's most comprehensive attempt to defy modernity has been atomised. But this is not, as
almost everyone claims, a triumph for civilisation; for the Taliban has been destroyed by a regime which is
turning its back on the values it claims to defend.

Microchip Implants, Mindcontrol and Cybernetics, by Rauni-Leena Luukanen-Kilde, MD, Former
Chief Medical Officer of Finland
In 1948 Norbert Weiner published a book, CYBERNETICS, defined as a neurological communication and control
theory already in use in small circles at that time. Yoneji Masuda, "Father of Information Society," stated his
concern in 1980 that our liberty is threatened Orwellian-style by cybernetic technology totally unknown to most
people. This technology links the brains of people via implanted microchips to satellites controlled by
ground-based super-computers.

From this website:

"There are no sound estimates of the total number of lions in Africa: guestimates range from 30,000 to 100,000 (Stuart 1991, P. Jackson pers. comm.)."

Any numbers on the total number in zoos in the U.S.?

[TomB]

Your ability to cut-and-paste is certainly without peer.

if it's on the internet, it MUST be true. Right?

[NeonKnight]

One more little known fact. Most of N. America is actually a green house gas consumer. Whereas it is true that we are the largest producer of green house gases in the world, we are also one of, if not the most, consumer of such gases, and our output of these gases to the rest of the world is negative. We not only have large amounts of forestation, both tropical and northern, but we are also surrounded by oceans.

[It'salmosttolate]

Your comments are on the internet so what you're implying MUST be true. Right?

What ARE you implying?

[TomB]

What ARE you implying?

That you are a COMPLETE fruitcake.

Estimates for lion population vary a lot. My 21,000 number was a zoo estimate (from the National Zoo), which tend towards the lower boundary.

Any numbers on the total number in zoos in the U.S.?

Here is an excerpt from the North Carolina Zoo (http://www.nczoo.org/press_release/Endangered.htm):

Currently, 58 pedigreed African lions are maintained in 18 institutions in North America. An additional 30 institutions participate in the SSP by holding non-pedigreed lions and supporting SSP research and conservation projects. Current projects investigate genetic, reproductive and health issues to assist lions in captivity, as well as in the wild.

That doesn't give an exact number, but just based on the number of zoos and related facilities, it should be obvious that there are more lions in the wild. (The NC Zoo estimates only 10,000 African lions).

Thanks for doing my surfing for me.;-)

So, in review, is there ANYTHING in the original post that isn't wrong?

[machman]

Mr. Christian, this book’s author, presents documentation that the movie studio which produced the Gladiator epic actually admits in one of its own publications that the movie is patterned after what is arguably considered to be the 20th century’s greatest mind control cinematic production, the celebrated Hitlerian documentary, Triumph of The Will, directed by famous German photographer Leni Reinfenstahl. In a separate book accompanying the movie, its makers reveal:” “Gladiator Director Ridley Scott wanted Commodus’s grand entrance into Rome to echo Nazi-era propaganda films like Leni Reifenstahl’s Triumph of The Will.

It's in the DVD too. They are trying to make a point, about Commodus especially, comparing his love of "games" and splendor to that of Nazi's flair for the same thing. Why do you think they put in Wagneresque music in those scenes? They are comparing the power of the Emperor to Hitler in a way.

To make Gladiator somehow satanic just seems looney to me.

[Romulus]

At last, some interesting facts.

You know why the French public urinals are called Vespasians, don't you? Building massive amphitheatres costs a lot of money. The Emperor Vespasian, who was famously close with the money, imposed a pee-pee tax on Rome's public urinals (urine contains ammonia, which was used to launder woolen togas). When his son and heir Titus objected to this innovation in pub[l]ic finance, Vespasian held a coin under his nose and commented dryly, "Non olet." "It doesn't smell."

I think the theme of this entire thread is beginning to emerge.

[dighton]

I didn't know they were called that or why, but do now. Thank you.

There is no coliseum in Rome. There is, however, a Colosseum.

There is no Colosseum in my Random House Webster's. There is, however, a coliseum: "a large building for sporting events, exhibitions, etc." .

Coward that I am, I checked before posting my # 56. But I defer to the mighty Romulus ... in matters Romeous.

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

WHOOPEE

[Restorer]

Now for the clincher: In The Final Jihad, this supposedly fictional novel by Keating, the terrorists are apprehended when their car is stopped by an Oklahoma highway patrolman for a broken taillight. This, of course, we are told by the FBI, is exactly how the real Tim McVeigh was caught.

Well, actually I believe he was stopped for driving without a license plate. But maybe it didn't happen that way if it wasn't in the script.
