Proof that no one flushed a Koran down the toilet.
2005-05-18



Read the article with pictures to see that you cannot flush a copy of the Quran down a toilet.

It's a pity Newsweek didn't think of this before launching into print and causing about 20+ deaths now.

#20  Not our RB trailing wife, just a troll via the UK who thinks he's clever.

What a relief! I thought I'd inadvertently insulted someone here -- I much prefer to do such things deliberately. ;-)

As for today's little troll, he is just about as clever as his hero, Mr Galloway, thinking that clever words are an adequate substitute for substance. And that insulting his hosts demonstrates his intelligence... which of course it does do. Just not, again like Mr Galloway, in the way he intended. Perhaps he reads the Guardian?

#18  What do terlits do at the equator? Flush straight? I have to confess I have conducted this experiment within 10 kilometers of the equator. Water rotates as it goes down but the direction of rotation is determined by whatever direction the water gets an initial impetus. I.e. if you push it clockwise, it goes clockwise. If you push it anticlockwise, it goes anticlockwise. Except sometimes it reverses its direction of spin for no apparent reason.

#15  I'm willing to bet none of the rioters has ever seen a flush toilet. Probably not even aware of their existence. Otherwise I have just confirmed the water in a toilet rotates clockwise in the southern hemisphere.

#14  Sorry, Cap, but Cuba is still well above the equator. The equator runs through Ecuador, the tip of Venezuela, and Brazil. Cuba's closer to the United States than it is to South America.

#13  Unfortunatly the test results are invalid due to the counter directional swirl in toilets found south of the equator.
I am footnoting the Simpsons "go to Australia" episode as more source document... which is more of a source than NEWSWEAK had.

#12  Actually it wasn't even a threat to throw it into the toilet.... HOWEVER! The US Zionist interrogator did think to himself it would be a damn fine idea. Thought Krimes are the Worst!

#11  Sorry GE,
"Flushed" was the operative verb used by the MMM in early coverage of the story. Implied the US government issue Koran provided by the evil Americans swirled around like the guy in the tidy bowl commercial. It just ain't so, not that the moonbats will listen.

#10  What are you people going to do in 2009?

How will uyou live without George Bush to hate? What pathetic lives you must lead.

And don't come back with more anti Bush stuff. I expect it as much as I expect a muslim to seath over nothing. I have very low expectations.

#9  I don't think actually that anyone has claimed the Koran was "flushed" down a toilet, the accusation was that it was "dummped" or "thrown" into a toilet.

#8  Bog paper with a picture of George Bush would be a great seller.

#6  This morning over coffee it occurred to me that if someone could print the koran on genuine toilet paper there would probably be a large market to buy them and make a point of flusing them down the toilet.

I would buy them and use the paper for it's intended purpose prior to flushing.

#5  Some of the protesters probably aren't even familiar with toilets anyway. Maybe this will help.

#4  Now if someone can just figure out how to flush Michael Moore down the sh*tter....

#3  Maybe they have quadruple-sized toilets in GITMO?

You know because the detainees are so full of shait.....
