CC Random thread

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

How Do You Prove Someone’s a Witch in Saudi Arabia?

Call the religious police's Anti-Witchcraft Unit and get them to set up a sting operation.

The Top Men will have to reset the link to the pool.

That's for those who did not have the foresight to bookmark the pool site themselves, unlike yours truly of course :wink:

Witchcraft is still a capital offense in Saudi Arabia, and they execute a bunch of them every year.
Or so they think. :|

Edit: Sorry, I see you already brought that up.

This is where I made my military service. I trained at the A8 regiment (mentioned at the 6:50 mark) in Boden as a forward fire observer, and in the grand final maneuvre, when we’re in the forest for a full week of war games, I was stationed with an armoured battalion, riding along in an armoured personnel carrier and being the link to the artillery support, calculating coordinates for targets and ordering fire.

I was just a sergeant then, but then spent three more months training to be an officer.

In the 90’s they shut down the regiment as we started demilitarising after the fall of the Soviet Union. We even ended conscription as there was no longer any perceived military threat. Everyone expected Russia to become a country just like ajny other. Then Putin came along and now we’re rebuilding the military again. All those regiments that were shut down are reopening and conscription is back, and now for women as well. Anyway, this little film brought back a lot of memories.

Dem Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee had this to say to a large audience of children the other day in a speech about the eclipse:

"Sometimes, you need to take the opportunity just to come out and see a full moon is that complete rounded circle which is made up mostly of gases, and that’s why the question is why or how could we as humans live on the Moon? Are the gases such that we could do that?"

At another point she called the moon a "planet."

Obviously she was mocked into oblivion for dat dere on social media.

Today she responded to her mockers with: "Obviously I misspoke and meant to say the sun."

Ahhh... so what she meant to say then was

... "can we as humans live on the Moon Sun? Are the gases such that we could do that?" :lol:

And she meant to say that the Moon Sun is a planet. :D

But get this...

Jackson Lee once led the House Science Committee’s space subcommittee. :shock:

Yep, we're living in clown world.
