Muslim Cleric: Mickey Mouse must Die:


First Palestinian children are subjected to Farfur, the mouse character made for the TV Tomorrow's Pioneers. Then they show Farfur beaten to death by an Israeli agent on that same children's show.

But now Sheikh Muhammad Al-Munajid has decided to simplify things by just killing all mice.

Mickey Mouse must die for the good of Islam, a leading Saudi cleric said last month in a broadcast on al-Majd TV.

On Aug 27 Sheikh Muhammad Al-Munajid told viewers of a religious affairs programme that mice were agents of Satan and that Sharia law called for...

What is the difference between a porcupine and a hedgehog?

11/4/2009 7:09:59 PM by betplom
They are only alike superficially.

Hedgehogs are insectivores and porcupines are rodents.
Hedgehogs eat worms and insects on the ground and porcupines (in North America) eat tree bark and buds in the high branches and will chew up and destroy tools and things you touch with sweaty hands since they crave salt, and love to gnaw.
They will chew the wires and hoses under the hood in your car, so beware.

Hedgehogs are not found in America, and are just harmless.
Porcupines will also swat animals (like your pet dog) in the face with their tails, if they get close...

believes our first loyalty is to our current customers. Of course we would like to have as many customers as possible ? what sports book wouldn?t? However ? since processing has become an issue to the industry as a whole, we have had to weigh the benefits of signing up a lot of new clients versus servicing our existing clients with timely payouts and the VIP treatment we have become famous for.

Heritage Sports has been in business for a long time without ever slow paying a single client regardless of the amount they have won. Our mission statement is not only to provide First Class Wagering Entertainment but to treat every client we have like a VIP and have their money ready for them whenever and however they want it.

We achieve this goal by being invitation only.

Do animals have emotions?

In his latest book, Pleasurable Kingdom, ethologist Jonathan Balcombe tells a nice story of two fish crows he observed on Assateague Island off the coast of Virginia. "They first engaged in flight play then, over the next 10 minutes, one bird (always the same one) repeatedly sidled up to the other, leaned over and pointed his/her beak down, exposing the nape. The other bird responded by gently sweeping his/her bill through the feathers as though searching for parasites. There was every indication that they were mates or good buddies, and that their contact was as pleasurable for both giver and...

What the Bible Says About Sin

Sinner's Prayer - What the Bible Says About Sin

Sin, according to the Bible, is any action that violates the law given by God in the Ten Commandments. The law was given by God to show us what it means to live a life deserving of God's love. It was also given to show us that none of us can live that kind of life. God knew that in advance, and that is why He sent His Son Jesus to be that perfect life for us. Jesus, God in human flesh, voluntarily laid aside His God-hood to connect with us, to...

One Man's Trash is Another Man's Treaure!

Profit, Art... and Priceless Treasures... From Trash

by Jacqueline Corbett
"Dumpster diving", often a survival technique for the hungry and homeless, can, for believers and visionaries, be an exciting treasure hunt yielding antiques, vintage collectibles, and exciting finds waiting to be turned into art.

For some, dumpsters and garbage piles are sources of priceless treasures (some very eBay-able). For others, they are a stash of wonderful "raw materials" waiting to be made into objects of art. For yet others, a source of food, clothing, decorative and useful items for the home.

For those addicted, they can...

Comparison of Canadian and American health care systems - wiki

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Canadian_and_American_health_care_systems



Government and private health and public policy analysts often make a comparison of the Canadian and American health care systems[1][2][3][4] because the two countries at one time had very similar health care systems until the Canadians began reforming their system in the 1960s and 1970s. The U.S. spends much more on health care than Canada, both on a per-capita basis and as a percentage of GDP.[5] In 2006, per-capita spending for health care in Canada was US$3,678,; in the U.S., US$6,714, The U.S. spent 15.3% of GDP on health care in that year; Canada spent 10.0%.[5] In 2006, 70% of...[/1][/2][/3][/4][/5][/5]
