So, in my daily picture post here is what I found to be the most amusing thing of the day. Bear in mind that this is fish pie
Look closely at the picture and read what is listed as the first item in the allergy advice portion. Judge for yourselves. Seems they think we are dumb!
Just My Luck

I have decided to try a different way of posting. I am going to post a picture a day, something that I think is a good reminder of the day.
So, I thought I was on to a winner yesterday when I came back from doing some chores. I saw some money lyin gon the ground. I went over and picked it up. It was a symbol of my luck. You will see why it wasn’t so lucky from the picture below.
My Religious Musings

Let me preface this post by saying that I am in no way against religion.
I was watching – I say watching, listening as I was in another room – John & Kate Plus 8 this evening. Kate made a comment about religion that made me laugh and also made me think.
Her comment was that her religion is non judgemental. This made me chuckle and I made a comment about being a Mormon. It also set me thinking.
Religion by it’s very nature and design is judgemental. It is through these judgements that we keep ourselves in the right way. It is by these judgements that our very moral fibre is woven.
We are taught from very early on about the commandments – the set of rules that govern our morality. These are the rules with which we must be judged. These judgements do not come more so than when one is involved in religion. It may come from ourselves our it may need to come from those in authority.
These moral rules can be found in the book of Exodus, 20th Chapter, verses 3 through to 20 in the Old Testament.
As we base our morailty on these commandments, one can only deduce that religion by it’s very design is judgemental.

OK, before you get on me about the spelling of the title – I have done it on purpose to show what I am talking about.
We went to one of the local eateries called Mamma Mia, a supposed Italian restaurant. While we were ordering from the lunchtime menu, I noticed a spelling mistake and HAD to take a picture of it. The picture is included below. Click on it to view the full size.
In case you didn’t notice, they are selling deserts for £3.25/$4.65 a piece. So, I thought I would compile a list of the top 10 deserts to see what kind of real estate £3.25/$4.65 will get you.
1. Antarctic – 13,829,430 (km2) – 5,339,573 (mi2)
2. Arctic – 13,700,000 (km2) – 5,300,000 (mi2)
3. Sahara – 9,100,000 (km2) – 3,320,000 (mi2)
4. Arabian – 2,330,000 (km2) – 900,000 (mi2)
5. Gobi – 1,300,000 (km2) – 500,000 (mi2)
6. Kalahari – 900,000 (km2) – 360,000 (mi2)
7. Patagonian – 670,000 (km2) – 260,000 (mi2)
8. Great Victoria – 647,000 (km2) – 250,000 (mi2)
9. Syrian – 520,000 (km2) – 200,000 (mi2)
10. Great Basin – 492,000 (km2) – 190,000 (mi2)
I think we’d all agree that the real estate of the deserts is cheap at half the price.
