Tour de France
by Abaddon ini've been following the tour since 1985 and am looking forward to this year's tour.
armstrong could possibly break his own record of six wins (consequitive) and retire with seven wins in-a-row.
thus far, only indurain has managed even five in a row (1991-1995).

Engineers have more boys, nurses more girls...
by Abaddon inthis is fun (from /.);.
note the bit;... quoted a specialist in evolutionary psychology as saying it could be because the children of "systemiser" parents appeared to encounter more testosterone in the womb, making their gender more likely to be male.. .
now, i suspect a quote has been misunderstood.

It's all about women; the Roman Catholic Church in the 21st C.
by Abaddon inwell, the new pope has a task to take on or to ignore.. every single one of the major doctinal issues facing the roman catholic church involves women.the celebacy of priestscontraceptionfemale priestsabortion.
it is ironic that john paul ii, who was a maryist, has left the church just as misogynistic as it was when he took up the papacy.. it seems devotion to a pseudo-historical representation of womanhood borrowed and developed from pre-christian religions is not enough to stop sexist attitudes; women are still too dirty to allow to have sex with priests, are not allowed control over their own bodies, and are unworthy of being spiritual guides and mentors.. all the bets are on a traditionalist being elected pope, so i doubt we will see any change.. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?article_id=29948.

Pope near death...
by Abaddon injohn paul ii has been given the holy viaticum (last sacrements).
he has a high fever, a urinary tract infection, and has difficulty breathing and swallowing.. he is concious and alert and has decided not to return to hospital.
although the health care at the vatican is excellent this is seen by commentators as an indication the pope is preparing to die, and wishes to do so at home.. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4399189.stm.

More offensive Dubbie twaddle...
by Abaddon ini stayed at my parents this weekend, as i was over in the uk seeing my kids and rather than stay in exteer as i normally do i did a day return.
sunday morning over breakfast, before they went off to the meeting and i went back to holland, my dad mentioned the wt article.. apparently it was about loy, and how about the new light is that, rather than being a sick sick man who wanted to give his virgin daughters to a gay rape gang (i always did wonder about that one... daughters.... gay rape gang), he was simply playing for time and waiting for god to do something.. i find it hard to believe that even the watchtower would be quite so stupid, but there you go.. funny thing was my parents reaction when i responded.
i was a bit offended by the twaddle but thought i'd go in sideways rather than with my arms swinging, so i said "i think it is very unwise for us today to interpret the actions of a bronze-age pastoralist".
