So what are you claiming that Catholics never set the Jews on fire? You might want to read up on the history of the Jews in Spain.

IF IT WEREN'T FOR THAT COMMA

From Eats, Shoots & Leaves

A panda walks into a café. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and proceeds to fire it at the other patrons.

'Why?' asks the confused, surviving waiter amidst the carnage, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

'Well, I'm a panda,' he says, at the door. 'Look it up.'

The waiter turns to the relevant entry in the manual and, sure enough, finds an explanation. 'Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves.'

Haven't you heard? The Spanish Inquisition wasn't anywhere near as bad as the folks who went through it wrote about.

The now confirmed death toll of the Spanish Inquisition is:

8...

...and 1 dog.

...and one donkey, which, if one is to be fair, was not a donkey at all, but more of a burro.
