Don't shake hands! (Revised)

Things must be really boring in Africa right now. That is why there is so much media attention directed at the 'black', 'white', 'zionist', 'imperialist', 'west', 'south', 'east', 'tall', 'short', 'african' who is apparently able to emasculate men by shaking hands with them. That is all we need - more Unix!

[Editor: To save all the inevitable questions about why I would have even found that story, I will reveal my entire linking chain - only because they happen to be in tabs across the top of my Safari browser. The full story can be found here. It was then mentioned here (there is a story behind that domain name) and picked up here which got a mention on All AgitProp which I was reading because it had a backtrack to this blog.]

Two things: read some history, especially with regard to the Avignon papacy. That will at least prevent palpitations of the knee, thought it's irrelevant. Then for the real story, read this, which is linked to from the home page of the domain you moan about.

I have read some history (although I am no expert). Anyway the comment was a little strong, and I have revised it appropriately :-) I did enjoy the story ... (I also had a UUCP address but that was a very very long time ago).

Ta - I get irked at people making assumptions just because we have a silly domain, and don't check the home page to see what's actually there. And it keeps it out of the hands of a certain class of extreme Protestant. The Prattle does have its very own domain registered for it but I haven't got round to setting it up. We'll be getting a better, faster server soon, so I'll do it then.
