Man, could I go for a Rose of the Prophet Muhammad
1. twas an attempt at humor 2. A man, yes, but also a prophet. Nit like saying Jesus was just a man, if your Christian. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not a prophet, but a messenger, Muslims aren't supposed to deify anything other than Allah and his word. So to Muslims Muhammad is a respected and revered man but only a man nonetheless.

Worst sounding languages?
Unfortunately my opinion on the sonic aesthetics of different languages is heavily coloured by the perceptions I have of the speakers, be it people I know or sterotypes to which I am exposed. Coupled with what I think are the rules of intonation (as Steve pointed out) it would make for a bigoted view. Having said that... Nigerian accents are horrible as is the language when spoken by its countrymen. Condescending, judgmental and abrasive. these three attributes carry over into their speaking of English as well. A woman berating anyone (especially a man) in a screeching voice sounds terrible but I guess that true with all languages. Chavspeak. I get really annoyed when I can hear scumbag kids speaking in their drivel thats dereived from patois and american "urban" slang. The oddest sounding languages are those of the Kalahari bushmen and Inuit tribes, lots of clicks and sounds in weird parts of teh mouth and throat.

Is your friends brother a Crip? having a pastry named after you is quite the hon....oooooo, I see where your going with this <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't, could you elucidate please? Muhmmad isn't the god of Islam, he is the quintessential Muslim but he was merely a man.

ABC Miniseries: The Lost
Boo! I read that yesterday... its some bad news - unless he's lying Althought she'll be screwed if she goes to jail, the DUI was violating an already existing probation so there is still hope yet! YAY! British Indian actors FTW! (his arab accent is lame) A shiver went down my spine when i saw that :ph34r: I guess Locke must have entered the code in the nick of time. I figure the end scene was the mirror to Jack and ana lucia a few weeks back.

Freedom of Speech.
I think SD-Kuriren is like some far right Nazi type group. Anti-immigration is one of their policies. So you have to question their motive for publishing the cartoons.

I need to see Some kind of Monster, I had forgotten about it until you guys started talking about it. It sounds like Hetfield's rehab was bad for the band.

What? I haven't heard of any videos of Abu Ghraib. You say some were released today? Do you have a link to that information, please? This is the first I've heard of this... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/4715540.stm

comic to movies
The Burton Batman suit was stiff and rubbery, Keaton could barely move - the moulded muscles were just stupid. Also that Bats film should have been called The Joker, since it was just about him. Oh and Batman is a skilled martial artist and expert weapons handler. Its his character. He doesnt have powers so he needs to be able to fight.

24
Yeah it is nothing, I foresaw it at the end of the previous episode but I imagined the solution might be for Jack to put on a voice and then when Erwick asks why he sounds different Jack would say he has a cold...

Ditto. Except that I don't try, I just go with my gut instinct.

This is my first season watching 24 and the only fault i found so far is Jack answering the phone as Rossler with an "indistinct voice" - FOX site description.

Its no coincidence that President Logan bears more than a passing resemblance to the late Richard Nixon. EDIT: As we all know, VX gas is green and comes in glass spheres.

Hey Steve do you want to join? You could be the conscience of our rag tag band of misfits. You could be called Mr Ethics.... or Steve Lad.
