This evening

I met MTS at Cabelas and signed- apparently- a contract to buy a timeshare on a vacation home in Bermuda, or something. I had no idea another blogger lived so close by, but now I know he does I may well try to hook up with him for range time with Partner this summer.

I’ve been following his comment links back to his site for so long I didn’t realize my own sidebar link for him was wrong. It’s fixed now.

Arms race, explained

At Tam’s. Most good. Now with 43% more mayhem!

You should have seen what the bill was when they produced the first Trebuchet.

I made a small one last year at the Casa d’Og. It was made from PVC pipe, and worked OK, but it was only good for a couple pounds. I want at least a 15 maybe 20 lb trebuchet. Knockdown would be nice too. Wonder if I can get a retroactive government contract for R&D?

Money quotes:

Therefore, he who commits acts of violence in Islam’s name is acting in accordance with its founder’s direction.

and

Therefore, he who commits violence in the name of Christianity is contradicting the explicit commands of Jesus of Nazareth

Read the whole thing. It’s quite good.

No matter how many times I say this, I cannot say it as eloquently as can Mr P.
