#1 I'm sure plus signs are questionable too. Time for the Saudi's to get rid of all those EVIL algebra books.

#3 Plus signs definitely need to go. I assume the lower case 't' is already history.

Is there any group of people less addapted for survival in the modern world than Muslims?

#4 Does anyone think these old fools must get se*ually aroused when they think of this stuff. That is the only e*planation.

The 24th letter, which shall not be named, has been removed so I don't have a fatwa issued against my typing fingers...

Wait this is BS...

Hey Religious Police :

Now come and get me!

#8 The numbers 6 and 9 (69) might also present a pressing concern ... (no pun left unintended).

#9 I'm sure plus signs are questionable too. Time for the Saudi's to get rid of all those EVIL algebra books.

A 2004 rapport on french schools found that some (young) muslim kiddies in said schol system refused to draw the "+" sign, because "it looks like a cross", so this is not just in the realm of snark.
