Perhaps it's a good sign - they have run out of sensible things to argue about!

They did that 1400 years ago.
After that, they have been squatting around, creating, for example, 70 divine rules governing urination and defecation..
 
Circumcised people are less susceptible to AIDS? :confused:

He'd hate my underwear as the washing powder I use has turned them from the colour black when they were new to brown. Most people I know seem to think that's amusing for some reason.
 
hey, I wear tighty-whities!

bow down before me, you filthy westerners!
 
I whipe my arse with pages of holy script, does that make me a bad person?

Actually, there was a recently publicized study that did indicate that. It's not a definite given, because it's epidemiological, not a controlled, double-blind study (that would be really difficult to design..."No, don't look down, you can't know which treatment group you're in!"), but that was the conclusion...well, HIV infection was less prevalent in circumcized than uncircumcized men in a particular population that was studied.

Thats what I was thinking and why I'm suspicious. But I do realize that experiments in this area are hard to design and if it turns out there is some truth then it would be interesting find out why. It seems unrelated to what is the normal transmission of the disease. Anyway miles off topic.

I'm suffering microscopic tears of any number?
