If in doubt

kill everyone and let the historians argue about it.

How's your hearing, Stackpole?

I think he meant someone else other than Pascal. Personally I thought it was Houdini, but I'm probably thinking of another wager.

I expect you hear a lot of whooshing noises throughout the day?

I think I'll leave this as an exercise for the reader.

No, Pascals, it was someone elses idea so it didn't belong to him, so there, ner ner.

I haven't a clue what you are on about, but I'll defend your right to say it, etc etc...

According to precedent, we will only invade Iran if their nuclear enrichment facilities do not exist.

They won't payout after the Big Bang, but hey! you still get that feeling of security...

Au contraire my esteemed ZG, Prudential are already Rapture Compliant.

My advice to all contractors is to become a Rapturist,if true then you get to go to Heaven, if not you will never be the wiser.

A Win Win Sitch .

Here is a well known Rapturist

Why not be a smartie
Come and join the Rapture Party !

[Central-Scrutiniser]

Those whom would question our plans for War in Iran are concealing Weapons of Mass Destruction.

Iran will be the catalyst for the Rapture, we know that they already have nuclear weapons courtesy of Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.

The unprovoked nuclear attack upon Iran will trigger the Final Days.

Revel in your time.

Insure Now With Prudential

Yep, this is a strange one. What is clear is that the president of Iran has been taking lessons from Bin Laden on how to play the super-powers. This little storm has one objective, to increase the value of oil on the markets and that seems like a good idea if you have lots of it to export and demand is very high. Hence the "wipe Israel off the map" rhetoric. But why do they want nuclear power if they have all that oil? Quite obviously they covet the Saudi ability to control oil markets because this power lets you fund terror networks and hold onto power with an iron fist but still be friends with America, so if you can export nearly every drop you essentially have a price spigot and a place by the fire. Nuclear weapons are just a bonus somewhere down the line but I don't think they are a priority right now. The only thing that has me scratching my head is why the Americans are falling for all this? Can't be stupidity can it? Not again anyway. Hang on a minute, don't the UK/US own most of the biggest oil companies? Look at their share prices recently, ahhhhhhhhh.

Everyone's a winner, except us as usual.

IIRC most people exposure to Polonium is due to smoking. Apparently the stuff they use to make fertiliser for tobacco plants has a lot of it and so ends up in the cigarettes.

Additionally the resulting radiation dose from a packet of cigarettes is the same as having a chest X-ray.

That's why the boys at Burghfield use Neutron Generators...
