Just Another Geek's Completely Useless Blog.
There’s a new email forward circulating. New to me, at least.
It features this photo, reminiscent of President Bush’s binoculars-with-the-caps-on picture, and another one of the same phone theme.
Pretty embarassing, says the folks who will find any reason to dislike and/or mock the man, but here’s the real photo.
I expect much more of this.
This picture from Seth Godin’s blog (photo credit there is listed as Jon and Mordechai but no link provided) is just too funny not to share.
In incredibly odd news, China has banned Buddhist monks in Tibet from reincarnating without permission.
From the article in Newsweek:
According to a statement issued by the State Administration for Religious Affairs, the law, which goes into effect next month and strictly stipulates the procedures by which one is to reincarnate, is “an important move to institutionalize management of reincarnation.”
For anyone knowing anything about the China/Tibet issues, the reasoning on the part of the Chinese government is apparent here without even reading the article. Obviously this is pretty silly to anyone that doesn’t believe in reincarnation in the first place, but I do find it interesting that a nation is legislating its citizens’ participation in whatever they believe the afterlife to be.
Came across a very interesting article about “devil worshippers” in Iraq. I consider myself a student of religions, and this is a group I hadn’t ever looked into. I’ve copied some interesting bits from the article after the cut, added my own thoughts, and some links to Wikipedia on some of the terms.
