The penalty for strict muslims who listen to music is having molten gold poured into their ears in Paradise.
You'll notice that alot of their "music" is keening or wailing ... that is acceptable.
Sounds like lib-uh-rhuls. You can have music, as long as you don't enjoy it.
Right now there is a lib-uh-rhul getting up from a fitful night's attempt at sleep. A sleep interrupted by the persistent nagging thought that someone somewhere is enjoying themselves...
Good Morning TMers. Checking in. No unusual activity to report from the Reston, Va. area. At least none that I've seen. Hope it stays that way.
Homemade Bomb Explodes Outside Athens
Wednesday August 4, 2004 4:01 PM
ATHENS, Greece (AP) - A homemade bomb exploded Wednesday near an electrical substation outside the Greek capital, causing damage but no injuries, officials said.
Authorities said it was not immediately clear if there was a link between the blast and the Olympics, which open here next week amid unprecedented security.
The device, which police say was made with a cooking gas canister and a triggering fuse, exploded in the bathroom of a building near a substation in the town of Metamorphosi, 6 miles north of Athens. No electrical facilities were damaged, a government official told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
According to the official, the culprits broke the bathroom window and dropped the device inside. The damage was discovered by an employee of the state power company.
Adequate power for the Olympics became a serious issue after a July 12 blackout that hit the Greek capital and much of southern part of the country.
Homemade explosive devices are frequently set off by anarchist groups and others in Greece, often targeting banks, businesses and diplomatic vehicles. The attacks are mostly carried out at night and rarely cause injuries.
Oh dear God!
Hi AD - No new developments here in the city either. Things are very quiet.
If I recall correctly, 8:16 a.m. on 08.06 in Hiroshima is is 7:16 p.m. on 08.05 in NYC.
For an instant, I thought of Monica...
Glad you agree!
Holy cow. You hit on it.
ROTFLPIMPLOLHAHAHAHAHA!
You're killing me! HAhahahahha!!
Ummm, wait a bit! I got that wrong!
I *think* 6 Aug 8:15 AM Hiroshima IS 5 Aug 8:15 PM New York.
Now I'm confused. Anyone out there with more active brain cells or caffine on board???
Construction equipment could be an isotope source used to "X-Ray" weldments on the job site. That would explain any lead shielding.
Thanks. Well in the window.
Might be a good day for some FReepers to take a day trip...
FYI - Here's another dead "fish story"

*sigh* I can't escape my own mind...
Not unless someone has invented a special type of nuke that only effects the atlantic croaker, prevents the dead fish from deteriorating for more than two weeks, and reverses the direction of the Gulf Stream current. But I'm sure that won't stop some people from using the dead fish as proof of the nuke story.
There's a thirteen hour time difference between NYC and Hiroshima.
Yes, I noticed that a copy of the Daniel Pearl video had been uploaded to the files folder of the abualbukhary.net site. Strange.
