a term used by Muslims to describe adherents of other faiths who worship the same God as they do. Specifically this means people of monotheistic beliefs like Christianity and Judaism.
The Quran says that Christians and Jews are to be respected being that they are people of the book because all three religions share the same deity and the same Abrahamic traditions, such as the Ten Commandments.

1. a 1980 number one hit for the R&B/funk/post-discogroup Lipps,Inc. (pronounced "lip synch" - yes, that's how U say it). They were basically a one hit wonder.
2. a Top 10 hit in 1987 for the Australian New Wave group Pseudo Echo. It has a harder-edged sound than the original seven years before. A genuine butt kicker. Pseudo Echo also scored a hit with their own "Living in a Dream" earlier in 1987.
3. because of their playing the Pseudo Echo hit, San Francisco radio stations gave the nickname "Funky Town" to their city itself.

1. ... won't you take me to
Funky Town!
2. "Funky Town" was riding high on the charts in the summer of 1987.
3.
Carl: Let's go to Funky Town and see the Chinese New Year parade in Chinatown! Then we can eat some Peking duck at the Golden Dragon restaurant.
Phil: Alright!

1. an American new wave band that existed from 1976 to 1988. They made great music that drew in classic rock and punk fans. They made innovative award-winning videos and were the kind of band that no one was a fanatic of, yet no one hated (except maybe your mother). Their image and lyrics were primarily about girls, cars, girls, nights on the town, girls, rock'n'roll and girls. Great fun.
2. a killer computer-animated movie released in 2006 that features the voice of Owen Wilson portraying the protagonist carLightning McQueen. Not rip-roaring funny but if you look hard enough, the humor is there (especially in the various scattered pop culture references). OK, the plot does bog down a little bit in the middle of the story, and there are one or two wussy pop songs, too but Cars is a very enjoyable movie for all ages. It is IMHO probably the movie that matters the most this year. Slip in the DVD and watch it. You will be thrilled.

1. the best Cars albums include "Candy - O", "Heartbeat City", "Panarama" and "Anthology - Just What I Needed".
2. the movie Cars has a terrific soundtrack featuring cool songs by Sheryl Crow, Rascall Flats(a stunningly faithful cover of Tom Cochran's 1992 hit "Life is a Highway"),Chuck Berry and more. Very entertaining.

I went to see Senator Krupt at the campus grounds and the crowd just obediently stared, waved their hands in the air and cheered at every fucking thing he said. They were eating it all up. The atmosphere was so sieg heil.

a husband who rules the family and home as an absolute dictator. He doesn't allow his wife or children any opportunity to express themselves.
Ten years ago, some football coach who "saw the light" and "discovered" God launched an arena tour promoting the idea that husbands should turn back progress in sexual equality and "retake command of the house and family". He encouraged total dictatorial control of the house - i.e. the House Hitler.

a catchphrase in the 80s stated by Steve Jones that says it all. He nearly died from drug abuse and he's seen others die from it too. He ain't saying it because "someone told him to". Experience is the best teacher.
In the 80s there were ads on TV featuring rock stars doing anti-drug announcements. It was called Rock Against Drugs (RAD).
Genesis stated that "drugs are a no win situation so please don't it" while their hit "Throwing It All Away" plays in the background.
Another example: Jon Bon Jovi says, "I was given this script to read to you. Drugs are not a part of this workplace. Drugs are bad 4 U ... blah blah blah. Any questions?" Yeah Jon: how much moolah did you get to "read this script to us?"
Steve Jones is tightening a hex nut on his motorcycle. Then he gets up and says, "Hi. I'm Steve Jones. I used to play guitar in a band called the Sex Pistols. A good friend of mine in that band - Sid Vicious- died from drugs. I nearly died from drugs." Then he looks directly at the video camera and says "Drugs suck". He had a song on his 1986 album "Mercy" by that name. Later on New Kids on the Block members wore that slogan on T-shirts because it so "cool" and fashionable and "hip". Soon after that there were shirts that said "New Kids Suck". That they do!
Take it from people who've been there and survived it. There's a lot of things that suck today, including drugs.

a spectacular comet that came close to the Earth in early 1996. It was a total surprise for the public so the end-of-the-millenium doomsayers and New Age crackpots couldn't bombard us with their superstitious bullshit. It was visible to the unaided eye and was "something to talk about" in the office and computer lab. It sported an unusually long tail. A thrill. Mere months after the comet's appearance, Comet Hale-Bopp graced our skies.
Comet Hyakutake was discovered by the Japanese astronomer Yuji Hyakutake. The brilliance of the comet made Yuji a celebrity, particularly in Japan.
