[Asterisk-Users] Eid Mubarak

[Mark Phillips]

It has to be said that Eid is a funny and possibly suspect celebration 
though.

As I understand it (from one of my Muslim underlings) 3 Mad Mulahs have 
to look for a particular phase of the moon. When they see this phase 
they declare the start of Eid. They apparently get 3 nights in which to 
look for this moon phase. I guess my question is "what happens if its 
cloudy on all 3 nights?"

Another thing I thought about is this; If we could get the Faithfull 
whom are attending the Haaj this week to suddenly apply their brakes do 
you think they could stop the world from turning? Better yet if they all 
jumped into the air at once would the resultant landing knock us off off 
our regular orbit?

Talk about "death to Ifidels"! They could do it in one fell swoop! I 
wonder if Al Quaeda has spent any research money on this?
