Also, she started talking about church to me, and to make her stop, I told her I was a muslim (I'm not, nothing against them though). An hour later, the cool cashier came up to me and said the dumb ass cashier was worried I was a terrorist. Based on the fact I said I was muslim and didn't want to talk about jesus with her.

I applaud your actions. Standing ovation, man.

Thank you.

Sounds like NAR material there.

NAR?

First, she's old enough to remember Spirit and Opportunity, so it's not like this is a unique thing.  Second, the Higgs Boson was discovered, like, last month.

Third, it's not a scientific breakthrough. Until it actually finds something, it's "just" an incredible feat of engineering.

My girlfriend is a veritable font of quotes for this topic, but I tend to forget them just as quickly. I'll try to gather a few

You know it's love when you take delight in quoting your significant other in the 'Amazingly Stupid Things You've Heard People Say' thread.

Flawed logic aside, I was viewing this topic for educational purposes, found that femitheist blog, and found this.

Off topic, but she really reminds me of this but without the payoff.

On topic:

It's obviously pronounced cash-ae, because it's French. Idiot.

Same person also tried to convince me that Celtic is pronounced sell-tick (As-in cellophane, ya idgit). My pointing out that it should obviously be pronounced chel-lo-phane, as-in cello, fell on deaf ears.

Land of the Guru

While it's obviously a brainfart, apparently Italy does coincidentally have the third biggest Sikh population in Europe, strangely enough.

Land of the Guru

Well, the guru is ideally a truth seeker, and they say in vino veritas or whatever... there's a veneto in there which is sorta' close so maybe that's what the guy was thinking? It's somewhat convoluted reasoning but I can see it.

I can't actually see it and the guy is indeed someone whose words fit in this thread.

Amazingly, that article was updated 8 hours after posting, and still nobody's picked up on the Italy thing.
