Folk who cross themselves.

[bindeweede]

You know how religious folk do the sign of the cross in front of themselves sometimes. I was never sure of the right order or directions - not that I'm really bothered. Anyway, yesterday, someone told me the easy way to remember - apologies if everyone has come across it before, but it's new to me.

Spectacles - testicles - wallet - watch (the pocket type).

I have heard that before but I can never remember which way around my wallet and watch are supposed to be.

And it's a bit discriminatory against the 51% who don't have testicles [insert joke about polomint here].

[Tony Williams]

I can recall that one from my youth, a very long time ago.

A bit OT, but I can't help feeling somewhat exasperated to see, for instance, athletes crossing themselves and giving thanks to god after winning a race. Assuming for a moment that there is a god, do they really think that it would care whether or not they won, let alone take a hand in ensuring that they do?

That would put a whole new slant on unfair advantages - athletes would have to be tested for religious belief as well as doping >:D

To drift even further off-topic (well, it is late...) I did wonder at one stage whether the usual victory podium in athletics should have six positions: three for the athletes, three for their chemists.

I wonder if there are homeopathic performance enhancers, and if so, how they might be detected.

This place might help - The International Quantum University for Integrative Medicine.

[Yes, apparently, it does exist]. Or is it a joke.

So, for just $450 you can do a course in Quantum Homeopathy and Homotoxicology.

Sounds good.

Don't know about homotoxicology, but..

That course is marked as IQ-500, do you think that may be the combined IQ of all Homœopaths? :cheesy:

Is that a diphthong in your post, or are you just pleased to talk to me?

Ask the girls, there is no dip in my thong 8-)

[Graham Lappin]

I am pretty sure Austin Powers does this in one of the Movies _ can't recall which one but probably worth watching them all again to find out.

I went to Catholic junior school and I don't recall the nuns teaching me that.

You'd better sex-test the female athletes as well if they're using that aide memoir.
