#4 Google for saturn hexagon, twobyfour. Pretty damn amazing.

As for the comic book, IMHO, if people in the ME spent more time with hobbies like comic books and less time on hobbies like murder, the whole world would be better off.

#5 Hexagon? I thought it said "heptagon". Had me worried there for a minute, I thought they had found a Vorkulian Space Fortress.

Joe, find me a hexagon that doesn't have six sides, then we'll talk.

I did a quick literature search on the Saturn hexagon, and found articles going back to 1988. Ho hum.

#8 "I kept the original because you have to face reality as it is," he said.

Give the man a cigar. Then send him on tour to talk to his fellow muslims.

#9 *sigh*

As a french student, I practiced reading French from the Asterix comics at the college library. One of my fonder memories is, after having worked through the book, calling my brother over and reading it to him. I got some english translations for my boys a few years back, and one a few weeks back up and suddenly asks when I'm getting more Asterix books.

This, of course, is complete whitewashing bullshit: the comic is written with the main characters being contemporaries of Julius Caesar, occasionally bumping into "Jules" every other comic or so, being one major source of gags and plotlines. Islam, the REAL REASON FOR THE PROBLEM OF ARABS, didn't even exist at that time. Heck, Christianity didn't exist at that time. Restrictions on Pork were non-existent in Arab culture at that time, and the society was matriarchal (sp?). A woman could divorce her man by throwing his saddle out the tent door onto the ground.

Obelix without wild boar? He'd become positively boorish *rim shot*
