the planet with the red spot is Jew-peter.
Oh, great. Just what the world needs: another invention from the same folks who invented the "zero," the tampon bomb.

That's a Shakesperean pun, for what it's worth. I don't know if he's also playing on double entendre; it's Mars after all, not Venus.
Posted by: Ron Hardin at January 9, 2004 at 06:36 PMI thought the zero was invented in India, by Hindus. (Whatever -- I could look it up... in any case, don't put down the zero! It's a useful thing. There wouldn't have been any rockets without it.)
Posted by: Andrea Harris at January 9, 2004 at 08:38 PMYes, the concept of the zero was invented by Indians, but popularized in Europe by Arabs.
>No. Really. Which would make you more proud? Coming up with cunning ways to blow up men, women and children on airplanes or putting rockets on other planets?
Wait a minute! . . . Is that a trick question?
Posted by: JorgXMcKie at January 10, 2004 at 06:18 AMI'm not a lawyer so I could be reading this wrong, but as everyone knows Article 59 Section C, Heading III, Subparagraph K, Line 23 of the Universal Cuban Health Code states that all inmate/citizens of Cuba will be provided with mint floss upon request. Shouldn't this apply to Gitmo? Where's the Red Cross on this?
Twenty years ago there was a US underground comic called COMMIES FROM MARS - THE RED PLANET. Before that it was HG and Orson. Jeez, folks! Can't we just be NICE to Mars for a change?
