Protesters chant slogans against President Pervez Musharraf's administration, demanding the arrest of thieves who stole a pair of shoes believed to have belonged to Islam's prophet, Mohammed, from a mosque, Saturday, Oct. 19, 2002 in Lahore, Pakistan. The sacred shoes were stolen in July from a 400-year-old mosque in the central city of Lahore, but no arrests have been made. (AP Photo/K.M. Chaudary)

Whew I just got back from searching the entire internet for a picture of mohammed. I was hoping it would have a shot of his slippers. Knowing what they look like would help us find them quicker. Perhaps we could trade them back for an Iraq/N. Korea disarmament. Unfortunately the only photo I could find of any mohammed

was this one-eyed criminal and it don't show his slippers!

Looks like a subluxing L elbow to me. He, like most of his ilk, is probably unable to scratch his ass without hitting himself in the head with his elbow. And that was before he suffered his first subluxation...

Payout for pork shoes

27Jun02


A MAN was today awarded more than $60,000 after breaking his arm when he slipped on a greasy pub floor caused by a patron who wore pork chops for shoes.

Troy Michael Bowron, 25, sued the Jannali Inn, in Sydney's south, licensee Kelly Wells, and pub patron Ross Lucock over the incident on November 30, 1997.

The NSW District Court was told Mr Lucock strapped the pork chops, which he had won in a meat tray raffle, to his feet after being told he would not be served more alcohol because he was barefoot.

Judge Anthony Puckeridge today found the pub and its licensee breached their duty of care by failing to clean up the greasy trail left by Mr Lucock.

He ordered them to together pay damages of $61,515 to Mr Bowron, of Oyster Bay, also in Sydney's south.

However, he found Mr Lucock owed no duty of care and dismissed the claim against him, ordering Mr Bowron to pay all of Mr Lucock's legal bills.

"I find the area in which the plaintiff slipped was greasy and that he slipped as a result of that grease being left on the floor ... because of the actions of Mr Lucock," Judge Puckeridge said.

"I find the first and second defendants, as occupiers, failed to take reasonable care and avoid the forseeable risk of injury to patrons by failing to clean the area in which the plaintiff fell."

This report appears on news.com.au.

If all pictures of Mohommed are banned, how do they know it was a picture of him? What do they compare it to?

Shoes fly goodby
And camel pan dowdy
Makes the Moose-limbs cry
And the crowd get rowdy
Shoes fly goodby
And the "peaceful" get rough
Oh, I never get enough of this wonderful stuff!

I have it on good authority that the picture I posted of him was taken during a candid moment when his handlers were occupied with the . . . ummmm . . . errrrr . . . uhhhh . . . goat.

That's why the guy in the purple dress is saying, "Help, my elbows are whack and I can't straighten them out. Plus, they smell like goat knees."

Well, you can knock me down,
step in my face,
slander my name all over the place.
Do anything that you want to do,
but uh-uh, honey, lay off of them shoes
Now don't you ... steal ol' Mohammed's shoes
You can do anything but lay off of Mohammed's shoes.
