#1 He's just like Socrates except a lot dumber -- and that is really tough considering Socrates has been dead for thousands of years.

#2 How about a heaping hot cup of hemlock for Mahmoud?

#4 Uhhh... the "Third Millenium" since when, Dinner Jacket?

Yeah, is this an implicit admission of the truth of Christianity?

I smell apostasy!

Somebody needs to issue a fatwa on Ahmanutjob.

Just sayin'.

#5 Actually, the first millenium of the Christian or Common Era ended on 31. December, 1000 A.D. (or 999, if you are so inclined). The second millenium started 1. January, 1001 AD (or 1000, ditto), and the third millenium on 1. January, 2001 A.D. (or 2000, let's not get into that argument again). It's the same as counting the centuries -- we're now in the 21st century, not the 20th.

Which doesn't make poor President Ahmadinejad anything like Socrates. Besides speaking the wrong language, he doesn't ask nearly enough questions.
