The jealous God of the Old Testament is surely one of the nastiest, most truly evil characters in all fiction - Richard Dawkins
"Only to things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe." - Albert Einstein

"And as to TFF's reprise of why on earth rugby league has scrums, a reader called Biddle maintains it is "for the same reason men have nipples - presumably they either served a purpose way back in the mists of time [when Adam played halfback for Molong], or they are destined to serve one sometime in the future". And other readers insisted it was for the same reason that rugby union has a try line - just because!" From an article by that old bastard that writes for the Sydney Morning Herald, Peter Fitzsimons.

"I don't consider myself a celebrity," he said. "And I've got a great family that makes sure it stays that way. It doesn't matter if I'm playing union for Australia, they still reckon I'm not good enough to play reserve grade in rugby league." Australian rugby union "sensation" Matt Giteau knows his place in the world.
In 1823, William Webb Ellis, picked up a ball and ran - somebody should really tell Rugby Union.

THE TRUTH
The Hillsborough Independent Panel. 12/09/12
Today's report is black and white.The Liverpool fans were not the cause of the disaster.
The panel has quite simply found 'no evidence' in support of allegations of 'exceptional levels of drunkenness, ticketlessness or violence among Liverpool fans' and 'no evidence that fans had conspired to arrive late at the stadium' and 'no evidence that they stole from the dead and dying'.
