"Beer was always big, and may even be healthy. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Holland writes, “claims that a moderate beer drinker — whatever that means — swallows 11 percent of his dietary protein needs, 12 percent of the carbohydrates, 9 percent of essential phosphorus, 7 percent of his riboflavin, and 5 percent of niacin. Should he go on to immoderate beer drinking, he becomes a walking vitamin pill.”
Hopefully we are not engaging in wishfull thinking...

From The Guardian: A Fatwa on Football
In the name of God the merciful and benevolent:
1. International terminology that heretics use, such as "foul," "penalty", "corner," "goal", "out" and others, should be abandoned and not said. Whoever says them should be punished and ejected from the game.
2. Do not call "foul" and stop the game if someone falls and sprains a hand or foot or the ball touches his hand, and do not give a yellow or red card to whoever was responsible for the injury or tackle. Instead, it should be adjudicated according to Sharia rulings concerning broken bones and injuries.
3. Do not follow the heretics, the Jews, the Christians and especially evil America regarding the number of players. Do not play with 11 people. Add to this number or decrease it.
4. Play in your regular clothes or your pyjamas or something like that, but not coloured shorts and numbered T-shirts, because shorts and T-shirts are not Muslim clothing. Rather, they are heretical and western clothing, so beware of imitating their fashion.
5. If you have fulfilled these conditions and intend to play soccer, play to strengthen the body in order better to struggle in the way of God on high and to prepare the body for when it is called to jihad. Soccer is not for passing time or the thrill of so-called victory.
6. Do not play in two halves. Rather, play in one half or three halves in order to completely differentiate yourselves from the heretics, the corrupted and the disobedient.
7. If neither of you beats the other, or "wins", as it is called, and neither puts the leather between the posts, do not add extra time or penalties. Instead leave the field, because winning with extra time and penalty kicks is the pinnacle of imitating heretics and international rules.
8. Young crowds should not gather to watch when you play because if you are there for the sake of sports and strengthening your bodies as you claimed, why would people watch you? You should make them join your physical fitness and jihad preparation, or you should say: "Go proselytise and seek out morally reprehensible acts in the markets and the press and leave us to our physical fitness."
9. You should spit in the face of whoever puts the ball between the posts or uprights and then runs in order to get his friends to follow him and hug him like players in America or France do, and you should punish him, for what is the relationship between celebrating, hugging and kissing and the sports that you are practising?
10. You should use two posts instead of three pieces of wood or steel that you erect in order to put the ball between them, meaning that you should remove the crossbar in order not to imitate the heretics and in order to be entirely distinct from the soccer system's despotic international rules.
11. Do not do what is called "substitution," that is, taking the place of someone who has fallen, because this is a practice of the heretics in America and elsewhere.
So, football is not a fun game, it is practising to kill people and most definitely: not a spectator sport!!!

How shall one deal with immoral people who are not law-breakers?
Amit Ghate has written a piece called Ostracism where she argues for ostracism as a way of dealing with immoral people (like Ward Churchill).
By ostracism she means "to exclude someone from society by neither communicating nor dealing with him in any form" (and not the original ancient Greek practice of writing on broken pieces of pottery, called Ostrakon, which were used for voting to have someone banished from the city-state.)
Ostrakon with the name Themistocles written on it.

I read the new Asterix Comic Book - Asterix and The Falling Sky, a few days ago (in Norwegian). Verdict: Thoroughly enjoyable.
The title refers to the only things that the Gauls fear: That the sky will fall down on their heads.
This time the main threat is not the Romans...

"Drinking and smoking -- a match, apparently, made in heaven, but not heavily advertised by world religions -- is about to experience a new, post-prohibitive reincarnation in the shape of NicoShot, a nicotine-laced beer.
A German beer producer, Nautilus, has announced that it is currently testing NicoShot, a beer containing 6.3 percent alcohol and three milligrams of nicotine per bottle.
"Many countries have a smoking ban in bars and restaurants," a Nautilus spokesperson said. "With our beer, you won't have to go outside for a quickie.""
Absolutely brilliant! Creatively circumnavigating the bureacratic sea of anti-smoking regulations that has been forced down the throats of proud pub-owners and pub-goers.
Three Cheers: Hipp Hipp Hurrah, Hipp Hipp Hurrah!, Hipp Hipp Hurrah!
