" - drbear(I am totally not ashamed to admit that I would read this based on the cover alone. I mean, look at it. The villain, the supposed Antichrist, is crushing the United Nations (while simultaneously allowing the world community to look up his robes), wearing a tremendously pimping hat and set of bling rings, and wielding an enormous string of rosary beads against Jesus Christ, who himself is sporting a rather buff torso and is backed up by a fighter squadron of doves. Jesus is also accidentally toppling the Empire State Buidling. Satan makes a guest appearance. HOW IS THIS NOT AWESOME? -CV)

raphsody606"A liberal, a moderate, and a conservative walk into a bar. The bartender says, 'Hi, Mr. Romney. The usual?'" -

I don't think she ever quite forgave me for the hysterics I had that day ... -

And there you have it. A quiz full of foolery, but not on April Fools, when we said full because it sounds like fool, and then did fool later, because that's all fooling, and... uh, yeah.
Hope you all had a Happy Easter/Passover/Whatever if you celebrated, and if not, then hope you had a great weekend! And a great upcoming April! Wherein there will be showers! And then Mayflowers! And then Pilgrims! OH NOEZ!
Rock On!

Don't forget having muscles that don't exist on the human body, and a neck that's as wide as the head.

And the Grand Bazaar if you want extra shopping. It's totally worth it. If you can, have a meal on the bridge that spans the Golden Horn. Good fish restaurants there. Dohlmabace Palace is also awesome; tricky to get in, but worth it.
