Yes, that was the joke, thank you.

Eastern Orthodox Christians do not permit depictions of anyone. Do they throw a fit about cartoons too?

Mohammed (PBUH) did have a 7 year old wife. People who idolize that while threatening violence toward a cartoon are, well, not stable.

No, however they may have to consider the actual cost (in actual dollars) of implementing their idiotic plan. What do you think the actual cost of one day of these shenanigans is to the government? Also, while I do not like to feed the b/east they were rather effective at humiliating the government by making them appear completely ineffectual.

It is finally relevant.

I took a biophotonics course at university. The reason they don't teach this much: its dense, and extremely difficult. While the equations might look pretty in Transmission / Waves class, when you actually get down to the scale of molecules and the like, with all of the complications that entails, it is virtually impossible to make meaningful sense of the mathematical results. The best you can do is a computer simulation, which is occasionally useful, and of course test in the lab.

Indeed, someone has to be willing to break a bad law, and go to court in order for it to get heard.

He is a lawyer, and this means he will be spending more time in court. Perhaps only for notoriety, but in the long run I suspect he won't be screwed.

And his justification:

While I can certainly see how perhaps there are cases where this sort of behavior would indeed be very bad, in this particular case I think Nesson is right.

You also forgot: Were whalers on the moon, we carry a harpoon.
