You know there are countries that have more than two political parties? Where you can 'win' an election (with the most votes) because you are the largest minority?

In the last Dutch election Wilders got 24 of the 150 seats in the Dutch parliament, making his party the third largest party in Dutch parliament (behind the VVD - 31 seats - and the PvdA - 30 seats). Hardly a majority isn't it?

Like your fathers ashes.

This stamp collector from the Netherlands> (lame Babelfish translation, but Googles one is even worse) visited North Korea 24 times. His last visit however ended with weeks and weeks of interrogations, a forced confession to a crime he didn't commit and a judge that absolved him (but that might just as well sentenced him to decades of jail).

I think this is there is a secret sub-question to this poll: anybody who doesn't live in his parents basement gets thrown into the 10+ category.

With a family of four, I get to seven on counting phones + laptops alone. Throw the amplifier, TV and BlueRay player in the mix, and it is up to ten. Add printers and the wireless phone, and it add ups to thirteen.

It is not the EU turning hostile to the US, it is the US turning hostile the the EU. And that some sort of bizarro world is already here.

Don't you remember that in 2002 a federal law passed congress legislating invading the seat of government of my country - a founding NATO partner?

Relative to the exitinction of he dinosaur everything is recent. This is just a 'recent' as the import of potatoes in Germany and tomatoes in Italy, or about 200 years before the USA's declaration of independance. If you look at the rate at which cuisines change, that is not relatively recent at all.

Secondly, 'several ambulances'? People 'writhing on the floor, fainting and vomiting'? Here's what actually happened:

Indeed, I read TFA, and what a load of wasted words. The only reference to the actual event in the article is:

According to reports, two British Red Cross workers overseeing the event at the Kismot Indian restaurant in Edinburgh but became overwhelmed by the number of casualties and ambulances were called. Half of the 20 people who took part in the challenge dropped out after witnessing the first diners vomiting, collapsing, sweating and panting.

So, where does those reports (mind you, plural!) lead to? To the undisputedly unreliable Dail Liar^H^H^H^HMail !!!

The story on the local BBC site (unbiased as long as it is not about foreign wars) confirms CrazyBusErrors story, it is about two whackos doing stupid things. The whole 'can it kill you' meme was added by LiveScience to gain page views.

This kind of ignorance is dangerous and baffling. It's not as if he's arguing against anthropogenic global warming using science. Hell, maybe he believes in global warming and that it really is man-made. But he refuses to accept what will happen because the Bible says otherwise. What. The. Fuck.

Well, it remembers me of the very appropriate joke my daughter told yesterday evening:

One rainy night, a priest walked into a hotel and asked for a room. About an hour later there was a knock on his door. "Quick, Quick!", screamed the hotel manager. "There's a terrible flood happening. Get yourself out into the rescue boat before you drown!" But the priest remained calm. "The Lord is my Saviour, and He will save me."

Not long afterwards, the water had risen to the second floor. A second boat sailed past the priest's window and the captain looked inside. "Good God man, jump in here before you die!", the captain screamed. "The Lord is my Saviour, He will save me."

Soon enough, the flood raged higher and higher, until the priest was forced out onto the hotel roof. A nearby helicopter saw the man's plight and dangled a rope ladder down to him. "Hurry up!", yelled the pilot. "Grab onto the rope!". The priest smiled. "The Lord is my Saviour, He will save me."

The flood rises even higher, and the priest drowns. Then the priest enters heaven and meets God himself. "My Lord!", he wailed. "Why did you forsake me?" "Forsake you? I sent you two boats and a helicopter !!!!"

Dutch is fine by me, but the average /.er might want to check the (short) facts here: http://www.om.nl/actueel/nieuws-_en/@154346/wanted_botnet/
