Funny T-shirts - let's hear it from everyone

Debs_place @Debs_place (10520) • United States 4 Nov 07

We were down at Disney a few weeks ago and I saw quite a few funny t-shirts. "Here I am! What are your next 2 wishes?". "I am Grumpy because you're Dopey". What are some of the best t-shirts that you have seen? Please...

Thomas73 Being the strange individual that I am, with a somehow sick sense of humour, I really liked a t-shirt that was quite popular among the Punk community in the late 70s and early 80s. Of course, in these days of political correctness, some may find this of a...

Diabetic man having a seizure, needing medical attention..tasered.

xParanoiax @xParanoiax (6987) • United States 11 Nov 07

http://www.informationliberation.com/?id=24246 He was tasered three times. Because he didn't respond to the officers. Since he was having a seizure, I somehow doubt he COULD respond. The officer says he was being...

Thomas73 Here's more about the police's misuse of Tasers, this time in Canada: "Video footage has been released in Canada showing the last moments of an immigrant who died after being stunned with a Taser by police." Read more:

Must I get married?

lordwarwizard @lordwarwizard (35747) • Singapore 15 Nov 07

I am single, available but not desperate. Yet I can feel it in my bones that I am aging and growing older each moment. One part of me remains calm and nonchalant. Another part warns that it is time to find a girl and whack up a...

Thomas73 Getting married just for the sake of it doesn't seem to be a very good reason to me . You have to find the right partner, or at the very least someone you strongly feel is the right partner (even if we're mistaken very often). Marriage is supposedly a lifetime...

Have You Ever....

AD11RGUY @AD11RGUY (1265) • United States 13 Nov 07

given up on a great discussion here on myLot because there is someone who is always off topic and has to make you personally aware that they just don't get it? It's a great discussion and the host put plenty of good, supporting...

Thomas73 I have indeed given up on good discussions, and even left myLot for a while, because of some clueless people who respond in a completely off-topic manner. They were a minority, but still in sufficient number to ruin it for everyone else. Those irrelevant...

Would you marry a dog if an Astrologer told you it would ward off your curses?

Nic @academic2 (7000) • Uganda 14 Nov 07

Selvakumar married the sari-draped former stray named Selvi, chosen by family members and then bathed and clothed for the ceremony Sunday at a Hindu temple in the southern state of Tamil Nadu, the Hindustan Times newspaper...

Thomas73 Does anyone know if the wedding night went well? LOL Mind you, I wouldn't mind marrying my goldfish if an astrologer told me that it was going to make me rich. We should always believe astrologers. After all they have foreseen that Australia would disappear...

Rami Ayyad : Christian Martyr

redyellowblackdog @redyellowblackdog (10629) • United States 13 Nov 07

"Bible-store owner riddled with bullets." That's the headline over the story of the death of the only Bible Bookstore owner in Palestine. This brave man died so that others might have the chance to read and learn and make up...

Thomas73 Although I wouldn't call this man a martyr, due to the religious implications of the term, I find this story totally appalling. That a man can be killed on the mere basis of his philosophy or convictions absolutely disgusts me. Freedom of thought and freedom...

Thomas73 Police mistakes happen but, like surgeons, police officers should be aware of their responsibilities towards the population, and those human errors should therefore be minimal and only occur exceptionally. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be the case and many...

Thomas73 "Islam means submission to God's will" you say. I'd rather say that, like any other organised religion, it imposes the submission of a large majority to a minority of people who claim to hold some truth from an imaginary being. The word "submission" is in...

Go back in time ....

Ciniful @Ciniful (1587) • Canada 12 Nov 07

Go back in time to when you were 10 or 11 years old. Remember how we all had lists of all the things we wanted to do, what we wanted to be? Remember your goals and dreams from when you were an idealistic kid. Are you where you...

Thomas73 This is a very good discussion and it certainly made me think. I suppose that my 10-year-old incarnation would be very disappointed in the adult I've become although, in the 30-odd years since I was 10 or 11, I have travelled a lot, seen many things, done many...

Go to Hell!

Chiang_Mai_boy @Chiang_Mai_boy (3882) • Thailand 10 Jun 07

Here it is, your, own personal ticket to hell. Click the link for a virtual tour of hell as visualized by Dante in The Inferno. What circle of hell are you destined for? http://web.eku.edu/flash/inferno/

Thomas73 Brilliant site! I really liked Doré's illustrations (I have the book illustrated by him). As for the little test, here are the results: I am doomed to the 7th circle of Hell! "Guarded by the Minotaur, who snarls in fury, and encircled within the river...

Do you stir your coffee clockwise or counterclockwise?

lordwarwizard @lordwarwizard (35747) • Singapore 11 Nov 07

I was making a cup of coffee and I suddenly realized that I was stirring it counterclockwise. I know I normally stir in both directions just so that the milk and coffee get a thorough mix - but there is always a default one I...

Thomas73 This is an interesting discussion, although the creative/destructive aspect seems a little far-fetched to me. However, I do agree with you that the stirring direction is dependent on which hand you use. I am myself ambidextrous and use either hand to stir my...

The Second Coming of Christ

loralee @loralee (542) • United States 22 Apr 07

Below is a hypothetical question. If DNA were to be extracted from the 'Shroud of Turin' and a clone then made, could this be considered the second coming of Christ or just some scientific experiment?

Thomas73 First off, it needs to be stated that the shroud of Turin is a recognised 14th century fake and that the DNA you'd find on it would not belong to Jesus. Besides, even if it were the "real McCoy", the innumerable contaminations would make it impossible to find...
