"We'll keep this egg and we don't think it'll go bad."

well, good luck with that!

On another note, it's nice to see a news story about Islam that isn't about something horrific. Silly news I can deal with (in fact, searching the "oddly enough" news is refreshing)

When it says Allah in a language that isn't easily interrupted scribbling, I will care. Maybe like Roman characters or traditional Chinese.

Come on! Be of good cheer! It isn't a story about Islamic rioting, or terrorism, or irate speeches by irate imams.

It's a positive story, albeit a silly one. You need to lighten up.

I wonder if it will hatch and a holy chicken comes out that lays golden eggs.

It's never a good idea to encourage any form of religion.

IIRC, Islam also has an End Of The World scenario (not sure what it is). Someone is probably looking in the Koran right now to see what it says about chickens and the signs for the End of the World.

The egg owners are dumb, though. Instead of keeping it, they should ebay it.
It'd be a fine addition to sit alongside the 'virgin mary toast'.

If they're going to have religion, then it's good to encourage this sort of thing, and discourage the nasty stuff.

As this is Islam we're talking about, it'll more likely be holy hand grenades, not holy golden eggs it lays.

Why doesn't God (or Allah) appear in the foam on top of beer? That I could believe.

He usually does for me, right after the 10th or 11th pint.
I can never remember which.

So... if the egg DOES go bad, would that mean that Allah is angry about what the fundamentalists are doing? Hopefully they'll all drop their weapons and resume letting Allah judge infidels instead of thinking they know better than Him. ;)

Wishful thinking... ah, well.

I think they mistaked a pile of feces for an egg. I see Jesus in my own.

LMAO! Perhaps not.

This story reminds me of all the "I can see Jesus in my waffle" stories. Heh!

Who would keep the beer intact long enough to show his buddy the face of God (or Allah)? Not gonna happen.

Because religion divides people along lines of faith, often discourages critical thinking in favor of faith, and encourages "magical" thinking.

It's about time they got some love, that Jesus guy gets everywhere, and his mother keep showing up too, like that time with the solvent stain on the office building mirror glass window.

I keep drawing his picture in the stalls in the men's room with a black Sharpie, but no one ever seems to report having seen Jesus when in the toilet.

or the time i had nachos grande at lunch and the outline of jesus on the cross was made in cheese.

seriously.





on a side note, why does reuters need to include a very thin desc. of kazakhstan? people dont even have a relative notion of where that is?

there's a lot of food imagery in the Jesus story. Fishes and loaves. The wine at the wedding. And the Last Supper.

No wonder you see Jesus in the cheese.

In many places where Reuters is used, I bet not.

Some people do, and some remember a time when it was mostly a place for the USSR to place missile silos.

Now, however, with the proliferation of "BF-istans" in the news, it pays to make sure that people don't think it's Turkmenistan or Afghanistan or "where-in-the-fuck-istan".

What's with all the "-istans" in the Middle East, anyway?

On a different note... Jesus and the Virgin Mary aren't the only ones popping up on people's toast. Albus Dumbledore once found himself there the day after the 6th Harry Potter book was released. The slice of toast was sold for 6 grand, I believe. :eek:

for starters thats not the middle east thats central asia and "istan"means "home of" the countries in central asia are divided up along ethnic and tribal lines the afghans, tajiks, uzbeks, and kazakhs are all tribes or ethnic groups

and dumbledore sold the toast for aproximately $6,542.33
