- I thought it was 2007 July 7 that the universe began?

Everything that Quantum Physicists believe is correct.
- Dreams are the consciousness passing through alternate states!
- Death is the transition from one form of existence to another!
- Perception creates everything!
- Vacuum is an imaginary thing; everything is separated by magical strings!
- Matter and energy are merely illusions created by the mind!
- We only exist because we believe in ourselves!
- We can become energy if our beliefs are strong enough!
Everything that Quantum Physicists believe is incorrect.
- Well, that makes things easier.

When you live in Edinburgh, the answer instantly becomes crystal clear. We Britons have an inately superior mastery of many disciplines including geography. Proof? Our ability to distinguish between the UK (country), Great Britain (island), and England and Scotland (not-countries-since-1707). Naturally, our ability to correctly locate places such as India, Canada, Australia allowed us to become rulers of the world until our knowledge was gradually leaked to inferior powers. Take That.

- So is your dead puppy. I should know, because I shot him.
- Which is exactly the response one would expect from a gun-happy American yokel!
For obvious reasons.
- Actually, the point was to provoke the "final war" that would end with the West defeated and Islam ascendant. It didn't go "just as planned".
- Yet.
- He didn't count on countries other than the US being reasonable, which doomed his plan to failure.
- "Reasonable", in this case, apparently meaning "respond to every act with "Thank you, sir, may I have another?"." It's that kind of attitude that's lead to piracy being the big new (old) business off Somalia. But hey, you feel free to keep feeding that crocodile...
- Many nations followed us into Afghanistan. Do I need to give the "punched by a guy, punch a completely different guy" speech?
- Yet.
fleb: Holey moley don't do that.
