        Rabbis back Israeli 'guard pigs'   -- Mohammed Rosenberg
        \_ All the pigs have laser beams attached to their heads.
           Every creature deserves a warm meal.
        \_ Nothing in the kosher laws says you can't go near a pig or use it
           as a guard pig or anything else.  You just can't eat one because
           of health reasons.
             \_ The best thing to do is feed them to pigs;  you gotta starve
                the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped up body
                will look like curry to a piss head.
             \_ nothing in the "kosher law" says anything about "health"
                \_Poorly cooked pork may contain Trichinella parasites,
                  amongst other things. It's why you should really cook pork
                  thoroughly before consuming it. Trichinella is very nasty,
                  causing death due to heart failure if not treated.
                  \_ umm... the chance of getting trichinosis in the US is
                     smaller than the chance of getting struck by lightning.
                     http://www.cbbqa.com/notes/Trichinosis.html
                \_ its common sense.  all the forbidden animals are bottom
                   feeds and filth eaters.  the laws aren't random.  it was
                   a way to let the people know what was ok or not to eat.
                   ask your rabbi.

12/4    Just saw a normal dating ad, except, it's JDATE. The people on the
        commercial don't even look Jew. Are they opening up the doors?
        \_ is she hot?
        \_ I dated a blonde Jewish girl from Wisconsin. She didn't look

           to charge interest on loans (usury).

6/6     It is impossible not to be reminded of the classic Jewish joke
        about the Jewish mother in Russia taking leave of her son, who
        has been called up to serve the Czar in the war against Turkey.
        "Don't overexert yourself'" she implores him, "Kill a Turk and
        rest. Kill another Turk and rest again…"
        "But mother," the son interrupts, "What if the Turk kills me?"

2/20    Ok serious question, NOT political.  This is straight up procedural.
        Has it been declared that we didn't find WMD in iraq? (think so).
        So why did we go into iraq (what was the gain), and if nobody really
        knows, why is nobody looking for the reason?
        \_ Political stability, military strategy (Iran), and to prevent
           Saddam from financing terrorism.

10/9    Will Glen Beck's head explode?
        \_ Oh, I'm sure he'll rant and rave.  What else is new?
           Of course, giving Obama the peace prize is dumb, but it's a step
           up from Al Gore.  At least a dozen steps up from Arafat.
           \_ Kissinger beats them all.
              \_ Kissinger stunk, but worse than Arafat?  I dunno. That's close.

9/29    Can someone tell my why half of the Family Guy theme
        is about 1) Jewish 2) Nazi 3) gay people 4) combination
        of the above? The Weinstein episode, Ann Franke,
        Peter as the brother of Adolf, the constant guy-to-guy
        kissing and gay references... the list goes on and
        on and on. WHY??? Does MacFarlan have a fascination

9/14    Does anyone have the controversial book Bell Curve? I know
        it has the political incorrect [and perhaps flawed] data that
        shows certain race have higher IQ than other race and I'm
        wondering how smart Russians are relative to white Americans
        and East Orientals. I can't seem to Google for this information.

An organisation in Israel has gained rabbinical approval to train pigs to guard Jewish settlements in the West Bank. Until now, Jewish settlements have been guarded by men with guns and also by guard dogs. But a new idea - guard pigs - has been thought up by an organisation called The Hebrew Battalion. The man in charge, Kuti Ben-Yaakov, insists it is a serious proposal. Pigs sense of smell is far more developed than that of dogs, he said. The pigs will also be able to identify weapons from huge distances, and walk in the direction of the terrorist, thereby pointing him out. Nonsense Under some interpretations of Jewish law, the pig is seen as an unclean animal, so Mr Ben-Yaakov has had to seek special approval from rabbis in order to begin training his hoped-for legion of guard pigs. Its clear that in a case like this, the ban that was imposed on raising pigs in the Land of Israel doesnt apply, said Daniel Shilo of the Yesha Rabbinical Council. BBC Middle East correspondent James Reynolds says that some settlers have dismissed the idea.
