    Is there really any doubt in your mind that it's fake?

    Surprise, surprise, surprise!-Gomer Pyle

    Jesus said, "If those who lead you say to you, 'See, the kingdom is in the sky,' then the
    birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will
    precede you. Rather, the kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you. When you
    come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you
    who are the sons of the living father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in
    poverty and it is you who are that poverty."--- Gospel of Thomas (Lamdin translation)

    Poor guy, I can bring him back 10 more after my next trip to Shanghai. It is amazing how people can still believe in the tooth fairy.

    Unfortunately, this story has been broadcast everywhere in the last 24 hours. Wonder how many poor suckers are going to lose their shirts when they too discover an 1804 dollar from China on eBay, and go without meds or food for a year to pay for it.

    Incidentally, there are about a dozen listed on eBay right now.

    That "journalist" should be made to select his own switch before he gets whipped.

    We are like children who look at print and see a serpent in the last letter but one, and a sword in the last.

    Not likely (I believe that was a different date) but it would not surprise me if it had a reeded edge, I know the one I have does. image
