Everyone was offended. But nobody died. Take it easy, folks!

No one murdered because of this image

Following the publication of the image above, in which the most cherished figures from multiple religious faiths were depicted engaging in a lascivious sex act of considerable depravity, no one was murdered, beaten, or had their lives threatened, sources reported Thursday.

The image of the Hebrew prophet Moses high-fiving Jesus the Christ as both are having their erect penises vigorously masturbated by Ganesha, all while the Hindu deity anally penetrates Buddha with his fist, reportedly went online at 6:45 p.m. EDT, after which not a single bomb threat was made against the organization responsible, nor did the person who created the cartoon go home fearing for his life in any way.

Though some members of the Jewish, Christian, Hindu, and Buddhist faiths were reportedly offended by the image, sources confirmed that upon seeing it, they simply shook their heads, rolled their eyes, and continued on with their day.

Last night I watched some footage on AlJazeera of frenzied mobs going on the rampage in... I don't even remember where... Egypt? Tunisia? Yemen? Sudan? Hard to believe that all this violent outrage was triggered by a 13-minute trailer on YouTube of quite possibly the worst movie ever made by a completely dubious character named Bacile... or is it Becile, as in "I'm Becile"? I doubt more than a handful have seen the complete movie - or if it even exists.

The whole thing smacks of yet another Black Ops project designed to catalyze unrest and upheaval in the Middle East and thereby provide an excuse for further military intervention. It's also possible that there exists a fanatical cabal of well-heeled fundamentalists who are eager to precipitate some sort of Armageddon and Final Apocalypse scenario just so they can get to Heaven sooner - or at least reap vast profits from their investments in defense industries.

That's right, these idiots want to create Hell on Earth... rather than Heaven! Don't worry, folks... they've already been quarantined. So relax and enjoy your weekend.

"Take two tablets twice daily..."

The Tablets of Stone, Stone Tablets, Tablets of Law, or Tablets of Testimony (in Hebrew: לוחות הברית Luchot HaBrit - "the tablets [of] the covenant") in the Bible, were the two pieces of special stone inscribed with the Ten Commandments when Moses ascended Mount Sinai as recorded in the Book of Exodus. Exodus 31:18 refers to the tablets as the "Tablets of Testimony."[Source: Wikipedia]

"But... but... we're still in the Analog Era!"

"How much should we retail these for?"

Only 30 centuries down the line... Time flies!

Steve "Moses" Jobs, the street-savvy dude 
who offered an Apple to Eve in 1976, 
now attempts to seduce her 
with something even sexier...

It must be the onset of womenopause...

(That's another name for "male menopause," my dear).

Lately, I've been thinking about TABLETS...

But the idea of being online wherever I go strikes me as

rather dangerous. 
After all, the whole point of traveling away from

my comfort zone is to get away from the internet!

At this point in time, I have yet to decide 
whether to treat myself 

to a smartphone or a tablet 
(in anticipation of some unexpected windfall).

I'd like to get some feedback from 
those of you who own smartphones as well as tablets: 

if you had space for only one device,

which would you lug around with you?

Early manifestations of The Tablet...

It has been around for eons... 

It just wasn't commercially viable... 
until Adam took a bite of the Apple 
and decided it was pretty cool.
