Mohammad is a joke

Poor Zappiro... first he does this on Draw Mohammad Day...

Wich of course gets him fatwas and all sorts of hate mail from disgruntled tantrum throwing muslims that causes him to see a therapist...

He should have done it this way...

What I find the most amusing is that every second muslim is named Mohammad! What's up with that? If it is so bad to draw an image of the esteemed prophet surely it is even worse to use his name in vain by naming every Tom, Dick and Harry Mohammad?
They really need to join the real world and grow up as a religion, or is that also taboo and not haraam?

Cloud Cuckoo?


So... Mr Microsoft wants to add a dollar or two to advance the idea of enhancing cloud formation.
" Even if that goes well, the technology has a long way to go before it can significantly alter the climate — a recent study showed that it would it take 1,900 ships at a cost of over $7 billion to stop Earth’s temperature from rising."
Bully for him... I just have some doubts, because we all know how well his Software works... Blue Screen of Death comes to mind, plus those ships look top heavy... I wonder what will happen with them during hurricane season?
I say leave nature to do what nature does best... at present it seems to be cooling down the earth quite well, the past summer here in SA has been cloudier and wetter than normal... I wonder why?

Iguaçu Starry Night


We saw it by day... it is always amazing when I see something about Argentina on the news or other media... that feeling of "Yes... We were there!"

Thank you Moondancer for sharing that trip, it was worth it, enjoy the Girls Weekend!

The stars are bright tonight
And I am walking nowhere

Guess I will be alright
Desire gets you nowhere

And you are always right
I thought you were so perfect

Take you as you were
Have you as you were
Take you as you were

I love you just the way you are
I love you just the way you are
I'll take you just the way you are
Does anybody love the way you are?
Aaa aaa aaa

The stars are bright tonight
A distance is between us
And I will be ok
The worst I've ever seen us

And still I have my weaknesses
And still I have my strength
And still I have my ugliness

But i, i, i
I love you just the way you are
I love you just the way you are
I'll take you just the way you are
Does anybody love the way you are?

Aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaaa

I love you just the way you are
I love you just the way you are
I'll take you just the way you are
Does anybody love the way you are?

Aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa

Star, star

VPOW!


As an armchair vulcanologist this website is just amazing! From now on VPOW is bookmarked just like APOD!
The power displayed by nature just makes me stand in awe at the glory of God's creation.
