The new 10 commandments

Almost sounds like something the Onion would come up with -- Pope replaces old 10 commandments with the "Drivers' Ten Commandments"..or something like that! ;)
10 commandments from Vatican
The Vatican on Tuesday issued a set of the "Drivers' Ten Commandments," telling motorists to be charitable to others on the highways, to refrain from drinking and driving, and to pray you make it before you even buckle up.
Elsewhere, other religious leaders also go crazy....with Egyptian religious leaders indulging in a fatwa free-for-all!
First came the breast-feeding fatwa: It declared that the Islamic restriction on unmarried men and women being together could be lifted at work if the woman breast-fed her male colleagues five times. Then came the urine fatwa: It said that drinking the urine of the Prophet Muhammad was deemed a blessing.
WTF, you say? Yes...I had the same reaction. Read the details in the article!


And of course the self-appointed moral police in India finds new reasons each day to find umbrage over myriad topics! (I have blogged about one such instance just earlier this week).
