#1 A numerologist familiar with nuclear physics would point out that the number 237 is bad luck for Saudis.

#2 the problem for the Saudis is that Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights says,

"Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance."

In Saudi Arabia if you leave islam, you face the death penalty (true in several other Islamic counties). Similarly, if you attend a Christian religious service you face punishment, etc.

#4 237 is bad luck for Saudis.
I will also bring to your attention to the FACT that 23 less 7 is 16. FACT 16 added to the middle numeral is 19! QED (An excellent name for an Office Supply Store)

#6 Wow! Mathematician stuff on RB! Pretty soon, we're gonna hafta figure out how to act snobby and be snotty to newcomers - y'know, the clique thingy. I guess all that's lacking is bringing Mucky around on the wine thing and someone talking about art.

So. Anybody know dick about art? I don't mean the guy with no arms and no legs hanging on the wall - I mean like pictures that somebody like drew and everything, y'know?

As for the Saudis, well they don't know anything about art -or- mathematics. Come to think of it, they don't know dick about dick. We'll have to make sure an' exclude them from our clique thingy.

#10 Whoa - that sounds like fun! Shit, man, the only painting I ever did was rocks. White. Rocks. White. Rocks. 'Course I'm not interested in hanging over the side of a ship and scraping old paint off in 8 hour shifts...

#11 We should have Kofi Annan write a memo to the Saudis demanding that they comply with Article 18 of the United Nations Charter, or they will be suspended from the organization ~~and have to go to charm school~~. Yeah, that will do it!
