Tater studing to become Grand PooBah
2007-12-14

#12  So he's decided that being a Sayeed *and* a Sadr isn't quite enough, has he? Since all of his serious rivals are still Grand Ayatollahs, even if he can get his Sith Master to Darth him up a bit, I don't think he'll have the mystical throw-weight to make the difference.

#11  Gawd... I hope it is "studying"... because if it is "stud(d)ing", I'm guessing he's going to be wholly unsuccessful.

#10  It's too late. They'd have to get in there with a backhoe...

#8  Oh, so that is where he is....He's studying. Formulating plans even. It's the vision thing.

#7  Is this like passing a level in D&D? Being responsible for innocents' death gains experience?

#3  Glenmore:

You are right. From the five "enlightened" Caliphs (ie the ones who had known Muhammad personally) only one died from natural causes. The other four were murdered or killed in battle against their rivals.

#2  So he's going to Marksmanship class? Isn't that how leaders advance in his branch of Islam - killing the guys above them? I'm pretty sure it has been the tradition for many centuries - like back to 644 AD.
