religion

At its core, religion is adherence to a code of beliefs. Often bashed by evangelical atheists who don't understand that their belief in no god is itself a religion.

Also note that general religion or faith is not the same thing as organized religion. Organized religion is, theologically, man's interpretation of what God wants. For example, Christianity is a belief in God and Jesus (see the Bible for more specifics), and the organized religion of Catholocism (later, the Protestant faiths) was created to 'bring God to the people.'

Most faiths say basically the same thing (that there was one loving God, a flood, some prophets and some other stuff) but a lot of organized religions have been twisted into an excuse for people to kill each other (if theres one thing humans love more than killing each other, its doing it for a greater cause).

Everyone is a member of some religion, even if it's the religion of no religion. Now Deal With It kthx.

Flecktarn

German woodland camoflage pattern. Widely considered to be one of the most effective patterns in existence, and developed no doubt because Germany feels its been too long since they went Teutonic on the rest of Europe and need to beef up their war machine. Seriously, its been like 60 years since they started a world war so I reckon we're due.

Hey Chester, it looks like that German army marching through Paris is wearing Flecktarn.

beer taxi

When you're happily drinking with friends and rest your eyes for a second at the local pub, and suddenly wake up to find yourself sprawled across the steps of your house or in some alley in the middle of nowhere, then you my friend have just taken a ride in the beer taxi.

Beer Taxi: ferrying blokes to random ass places since 10,000 BC.

Bill Gates

One of the founders of Microsoft and formerly the world's richest man (passed by the founder of Ikea). People like to blame him for everything, because he's rich and part of human nature is blaming rich people for all your problems.

Car won't start?

Got fired from work?

Your candidate got owned in the election?

Blame Bill Gates!! Everyone's doing it, it's the new national pastime.

White Sox

News Flash: The Cubs and White Sox are not in the same league, so it is actually okay to cheer for both of them and hope they both do well. They're both great baseball teams and people who bitch about how one sucks and the other is awesome look like morons.

Instead let's talk about how much the Yanks and the Cards suck ass, because they do.

The White Sox are an old and excellent baseball team, and if the zealots would just cool it a bit the sane sports fans of Chicago would greatly appreciate. Thanks.

Windows XP

Fairly decent OS from Microsoft. More stable than most Windows versions, but has a number of privacy and end-user-rights issues that are questionable at best. Like all Windows builds, is often blindly flamed by idiots with no clue what an OS is or how it works, thinking MS sucks but not having any ideas how they would do it better.

Its Fisher-Price looking graphics do however fit in well, considering MS's tech support usually treats you like a toddler.

Its better than Win ME, thats for sure.
