TGregg, no they didn't surrender. They are holding talks (de Villepen calls them 'constructive') in the hopes that it will change its molecular structure and trans-morph into a few molecules of white truffle. At which point they will ask the UN to 'inspect' them to make sure. If that fails, they are willing to enter into discussions with the ricin compound re a sale of nuclear reactors. For electricity generation, of course.
I am pretty sure ricin has been existed in the world longer than any religion. But is is ironic that one ore more of these religions finally make the stuff dangerous to human being as a spicy.
Aphexcoil said : "Seems quite ironic to me. Perhaps the French will require more evidence, though." I came upon this thread a bit late. However, I do find that remark absolutely hilarious Aphex. freealways
