Well, strangely enuff, that's just the case. Just check the "pokemon rap" at Jeff Milner's Backmasking webpage... héhé.

#4 "the sacredness of the prophet's urine "

When did this come up? Does that mean that someone was collecting the prophet's urine? More important, does that mean someone has been saving it for 1300 odd years? What kind of religion assigns sacred features to someone's body waste?

#5 Id say banning Pokemon is one of the less stupid things a mullah has done.

#6 First was the 1989 fatwa from Ayatollah Khomeini that sanctioned the killing of Salman Rushdie, the British author of The Satanic Verses, a controversial book on the origins of the Quran.

Not "stupid", just evil. No sense trivializing this one.

Then came the "unclothed sex" fatwa that annuls the marriage of a couple who take off all their clothes when having sex,

Hmm, this one can come in handy...

Yep... since the divorced couple can only remarry if the wife marries and then divorces.. say the local mullah.

#8 Damn, when even AlArabiya and Islamonline are shitting on your fatwas, it might be time to hang up your magic turban...

#10 since the divorced couple can only remarry if the wife marries and then divorces.. say the local mullah.

The marriage must also be consummated -- although I don't recall that the fatwa stipulated the number of witnesses, unlike for rape.

#11 It is from Hadith.

One of Mohammed's maids was thirsty and got up during the night.
Mohammed had relieved himself in a basin and she mistook this for water and drank from it.

Some of his companions considered his sweat blessed. When he washed, they would collect the runoff and bless themselves with it.

based on these recollections, the fatwa was issued. Rather pointless since Mohammed is no longer around to produce secretions and waste.
And against Sharia since human waste is considered unclean and Mohammed was just a man. These Hadith directly contradict Sharia and the fatwa is clearly invalid.

#12 The marriage must also be consummated

That is why the local Mullah (who issued the divorce) is the perfect temporary husband.

Just doing service to the faithful, looking after the flock.
