They are allowing monks to watch the World cup soccer matchs but they're not allowed to cheer, get excited or bet on the matches just sit and watch the games......much like Royals fans.... True story. Not BS

Speaking of monks, I heard an interesting story the other day...
In Las Vegas, there are more Catholic churches than there are casinos. Not surprisingly, some worshippers at Sunday services will give casino chips rather than cash when the basket is passed. Since they get chips from so many different casinos, the churches have devised a method to collect the offerings. The churches send all their collected chips to a nearby Franciscan Monastery for sorting and then the chips are taken to the casinos of origin and cashed in. This, of course, is done by the chip monks. Ba-Da-Boom! Thanks folks, I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip your waitress.

I have to share this, just because it was kind of surreal. When I went to India many years ago, one of our flights inside the country got painfully and slowly canceled. My friend and I ended up sitting around in a hotel lobby for over 12 hours waiting for them to make a decision on it, and there was only one other traveling group with us: a groups of about 30 to 40 Thai monks, with the saffron robes and shaved heads. We're all sitting around staring at each other for several hours, and I'm not sure who thought the other one was more odd. It was just one of many moments during where I found myself thinking, "This place is different."

Hey, let's show the monks a little respect. After all, they have taken a vow of celibacy like their fathers and their fathers before them.

You think that's bad:
Islamic militiamen who have seized control of Somalia's capital fired guns in the air and cut electricity to makeshift cinemas to prevent people from watching the World Cup, witnesses said. The Islamic Courts Union broke up gatherings to watch the soccer matches Saturday, witnesses said. A strict interpretation of Islamic law often bans Western films and television as immoral. "As soon as the Islamists took over the security of our city, we thought we would get freedom. But now they have been preventing us from watching the World Cup," said Adam Hashi-Ali, a teenager in Mogadishu. http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2...worldcup_x.htm |
