Good thing it's 2006.
Otherwise, I might think that people still believed that a Solar Eclipse was
fucking demonic activity.
a big WTF, mate from me. Yes, I'm so puzzled my normal sane self gets a drop kick to the balls and it takes my inner Austrailian to finish my thoughts for me. You don't have one? Well um anyway..
Best quote (or saddest) of the article:
"Authorities were especially keeping a close eye on reactions in Nigeria. An eclipse in 1989 had led to rioting in the predominantly Muslim north as gangs burnt and looted homes and hotels to 'atone for the sins of infidels.'"
Jesus fucking christ, or allah, or whatever these primates believe. Copernicus was killed in what, like a barely double-digit century for saying the Earth wasn't the center of the universe. These mother fucking muslim cavemen probably would've killed him for even suggesting that something like the sun and planets existed in the first place. How many christians or muslims does it take to invent the light bulb? Who knows, they fucking killed anyone with a brain. A white athiest had to do it for them.
So here you have all these dipshit primatives, living in the 21st century, a time when we were supposed to have flying cars and robots that simply wanted to kill us all, take Steve Guttenberg on wild adventures, or save us while we were lost in space about to be molested by mad scientists... we have people that think that god blacked out the sun because someone touched themselves.
Hey Bush.. Democracy in the middle east? THESE STUPID FUCKS think eclipses are punishment. You honestly think you have a shot? These dippy fuckheads would probably not be gay and like their women before believing in the goddamned moon/sun plane and you want to teach them democracy. You're a fucking idiot, but you can't be that dumb.
