a real illustration of the Tower of Babel! Do you have an original, signed copy of the Bible?

4. I'm goin' with the T Bab |
|
Elevators are deadly -- I'm cruisin' down those outside slopes and splashing into the Noah flood deal.
They happened about the same time, right? Like the walls of Jericho and the pillar of salt thingy?

6. Well, we know for sure he had an "open port" in Camp David yesterday. |
|
He may also have had a bottle of port and a couple of Dubees tonight.

7. Those awful Babylonians! |
|
How dare they all speak the same language and claim they don't need the Lord Our GodTM. Thanks be praised, old Yahweh smashed that tower and forced them all to speak in so many tongues they couldn't understand each other. What an awesome thing to do!

11. It certainly resembles a ziggurat. |
|
I wonder who's going to occupy the top level...where the priest's temple was in the ziggurats of ancient history.
Cool comparison.
:thumbsup:

14. Cheney et al are rumoured to have moved large amounts of capital over there. |
|
I guess they will retire to be closer to the HQ of their employer Haliburton.
