Quote from: "Ned"I agree with TomThumb and find the treatment of him despicable.
Sorry to keep harping on, but I should point out that I only agree with TomThumb in the sense that the reaction to his posts was disproportionate. I certainly do not agree with the embarrassing BS about Obama being the Antichrist.

Quote from: "Davin"From the similarities of Ned's posts to TomThumbs posts; I think they might be the same person.
You're wrong, I've never met him and have no idea who he is. I just thought that the treatment he received was out of order.
(BTW, how do you know that TomThumb is male? Are you basing it solely on the user name?)


Ok, so you and Tom Thumb are the same girl?

Gotcha.
QuoteI find it mistifying that in this age of information, some people still deny the scientific history of our existence.

Do you think the next one they build will include a lightning conductor?

In 1984 York Minster was struck by lightning just after the bishop had given a controversial sermon http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/date ... 498525.stm

Actually this statue had them too.  It was a very bad electrical storm and they believe they were basically overpowered.  Apparently the next one will simply be nonflammable, woopee! sigh.  BTW not sure if this was mentioned but the damn thing cost $250,000 with a portion of the work donated!  The thing was insured for $500,000!  Suck on that poor people!
