| Aussie man burns koran and bible to see which is better to use for rollie paper. Bible wins. Koran paper too thick. Sadly he tests the Bible first so he is already ripped when he gets to the Koran. Brisbane atheist burns Koran and Bible A Brisbane atheist is bracing himself for a criminal investigation after posting an online video showing him burning the Koran and Bible. Lawyer Alex Stewart appears to smoke marijuana using pages from the religious texts, before rating which "burns better". The homemade video was posted on video sharing website YouTube on Friday. It came after international condemnation of a firebrand pastor who threatened to burn 200 Korans to mark the anniversary of September 11 terrorist attacks. During the 12-minute film Mr Stewart says he is performing an experiment to test whether the Islamic or Christian text is more conducive to burning. He says people offended by the experiment are taking it "too seriously". "It's just a f...ing book, who cares," Mr Stewart says. "Like you can burn a flag and no one cares, people get over it so with respect to books like the Bible, the Koran, or whatever, just get over it. "I mean, it's not as though they're burning your copy, they're burning somebody else's. "That said, I don't think it's completely appropriate unless it's done for a good purpose, which I'd say I have done today." |

| #3 It would have been hilarious if someone had mixed a little LSD in there somehow. "Mohammed is sucking on my toes!!" |

| #2 I think it's pretty amazing what the news media thinks is news these days. We can't get any actual reporting on any real issues of the day, but if they think they can get a rise out of anyone...they're on it! I'm waiting for someone to burn a copy of The Communist Manifesto or Mao's Little Red Book. Yeah, I'll be waiting a looonnnggg time, I know. |

| #1 Ah, I remember the golden days of 2005, and Huffington's Toast, a now defunct blog which had a guest post by the late Hunter S. Thompson[*]: Have you ever smoked a page from the Book of Revelation, amigo? Great stuff in there. Marvelous cure for writerÂ’s block. I couldn't find any links to the old HuffTo, so I'll have to link to my own blog. [*] As channeled by Steve H., who also seems to have disappeared from teh internetz. |
