Zen-like Todd Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Someone just sent this to me, and I thought it was brilliant. Hope you enjoy. http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?click_id=79&art_id=qw1076573887833M323&set_id=1 Can bags of pig fat deter suicide bombers? February 12 2004 at 10:18AM Jerusalem - Israeli police have come up with plans to place bags of pig lard on buses in a bid to deter Palestinian militants from carrying out suicide attacks, the Maariv daily reported on Thursday. Rabbinical authorities have given the idea its approval on the grounds that it could be a life-saving measure even though pigs are also considered impure by Jews. Authorities believe that the move could discourage Palestinians from carrying out attacks as pieces of their exploded body could come into contact with the pig fat, prejudicing their chances of entering into paradise. The paper said that the rabbinical dispensation could mean that security forces also hang bags of lard in shopping malls and schools. Public buses have been a favourite target for Palestinian suicide bombers since the start of the intifada in September 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade7 Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Don't Christians, Muslims, and Jews believe in the same God anyway.

Ancalagon the Black Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 I'm sure the mullahs who are urging people to blow themselves up will put out an edict saying that it's OK to touch pig before you die if you did it in an Israeli bus, or something equally stupid. People will believe what they want to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prosperity Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 People in general are stupid. If they believe in heaven and hell, and they believe that killing people will send them to heaven, then maybe there is a chance that they will believe that touching pig meat will send them to hell.

redman Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Supposedly General Pershing, while quelling a Muslim uprising in the Phillipines in the early 20th Century ordered his troops to dip their cartridges in pig fat, which would per Muslim law leave the recipient of a so-baptized cartridge impure when they left this earth. The uprising came to a quick halt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prosperity Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Redman that is a stupid internet rumor, that has no basis in truth. According to Dr. Frank E. Vandiver, professor of history at Texas A&M University and author of "Black Jack: The Life and Times of John J. Pershing," the above tale is apocryphal. "This story is hard to stop!" he wrote in answer to my email query. "I never found any indication that it was true in extensive research on his Moro experiences. This kind of thing would have run completely against his character." links to pages that agree with me: http://www.breakthechain.org/exclusives/pershing.html http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl_black_jack_pershing.htm Don't spread lies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilmer17 Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Clancy's latest book (Teeth of the Tiger) has one of the heroes shoving a football (pigskin) into a Muslim Terrorists arms as he's dying. there are stories about cases of slim jims being sent to Iraq for our troups to plae on the corpses of the enemy. When they juice Saddam they should fill his grave with pigs blood and televise it worldwide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyDave Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 One of my friends who was deployed with me in one of those countries was shot at. He shot back wounding the guy then replied loudly next time I'll kill you dig up your grave p1$$ on ya and bury you with porky pig. Yeah for a while some the islams and the serbs steered clear of the bruthas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they now don’t have to worry about going on a lo-carb diet or anything like that. This takes care of their fat problem. Can you imagine if they used human fat? There would be a line outside of the local liposuction clinic 2 miles long waiting for their $30 to donate their fat to fight the war on terrorism. How popular would Bush be then… “give me your fat, and we’ll take it to the terrorists… bring it on!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
