    Oh, don't you just love these medieval meetings?

    “Electrocuted and suffered a heart attack” In reality he held onto the supply and suffered a 50 or 60 cycle per second race of his heart until it effectively stopped with all the valves open and his blood pressure dropped inducing the coma.

    Doesn't say what condition he was in for the two days but I know one thing for certain: he was not dead for two days.

    So one of the penguins threw her rosary down the well to a girl had fallen into. Was there any water in the well and how deep was it (if any)? I bet the rosary was tied to a rope!

    Another “nun-to-be” had her throat slit by an angry would-be suitor when she refused to convert to Islam, but a mysterious “nun in blue” is said to have saved her life. That was lucky, wasn't it. Her suitor needed to be taught how to use the knife by the sound of it.

    All fodder for the terminally mentally ill of the RCC if they really believe this crap.

    Old fart they are not Palestinian nuns...They were Ottoman nuns. There was no such thing as Palestine in those days and there never was.

    Go back to the slums were you belong, ignorant and usefull idiot.

    @1. I'm not saying you're wrong but “there are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy” (Hamlet I.5:159–167).

    It's the year 1550. Explain a helicopter, a jet aircraft, a moon rocket.
    It's the year 1600. There's a mine collapse. 33 people are trapped 2,300 feet underground. Help them survive and get them out.
    It's 1780. The first military submarine is in trouble and is on the seabed 2,000 feet below the surface. Recover the crew alive.

    And that's just technology that we might have developed. Try some other options. Do you know what your mind can do? Can something be levitated? Perhaps you should open your mind!
    @2. Who is this old fart you are addressing? Although I am happy to agree that, as a country, “palestine” doesn't exist. Nor do “palestinians”. They are just thieving, muslim arabs. Once one researches the subject, it's clear that the murderous hate cult of Islam needs to be destroyed. And its adherents with it. Why does main stream media refer to 'peaceful' muslims, 'moderate' muslims? Don't they all read the same book?

    @ 3 Conqueror

    WTF are you on about in par. 2 and 3? Please put the thing into context for me so I have a chance of understanding you.

    Getting close to the end of month, so Conqueror doesn't have his welfare check yet.

    From the ranting above you can clearly see he has gone back to his usual habit of drinking methylated spirits.
