Entry: Thursday Thirteen Wednesday, July 26, 2006

Inspired by a debate taking place here and here, I have, with painstaking research and great expense of time, compiled a list of

 

13 things the Jews have NOT been blamed for, at least to any great extent.

  1. The extinction of the velociraptor.
  2. The disappearance of Amelia Earhart.
  3. Sunspots.
  4. The Zulu Wars.
  5. Empty toner cartridges (except in law and accounting offices).
  6. The Dust Bowl.
  7. Shark   attacks (except in law offices).
  8. The high price of rosaries.
  9. Photographic red-eye.
  10. Jimmy Swaggart.
  11. The heartbreak of psoriasis.
  12. Stryper.
  13. Ragnarok.

Who says these guys never get a break?

Oh my God that's hilarious, Joe!

I might add: not responsible for the Catholic priest's child abuse scandal.

The stain on the "blue dress."

Dubya getting elected. ;)

Hehehe... The only one I'll take issue with is Stryper... This is from Wikipedia:

The name "Stryper" derives from a Bible verse, Isaiah 53:5:

"But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his <b>stripes</b> we are healed."(1)

Isaiah? That's the Old Testament, Joe! I blame the jews!

GREAT post Joe!

And awesome research, Cheezy!

And You gotta Love Norse mythology:
"Three such winters will follow each other with no summers in between"

Gotterdammerung, in concept as well as pronunciation, sounds much more exciting than Armageddon.

Are you <b><i>sure</b></i> the Jews weren't responsible for the Zulu wars?

I seem to recall an argument over how to spice gefilte as being the spark for that fire.

Cheezy- I almost didn't put Stryper up because of that, but I figured no one would be smartass enough to bring it up! Live and learn. They did present themselves as a Christian band, though, and the Jews didn't make them dress like bumblebees. (I'm really amazed that Paula didn't mention that!)

O'Tim.... I almost used "Gotterdammerung", but figured some smartass would point out that it's just the German translation of "Ragnarok". Live and learn.

Fez.... they might be responsible, but they haven't been widely BLAMED...... aye, there's the rub.
