Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Odd blog-surfing synchronicity:
I was reading a political blog -the last bit I read was:
Abramoff was so closely tied to the Bush Administration that he could, and did, charge two of his clients $25,000 for a White House lunch date and a meeting with the President.
Then the very next blog I read had:
An online casino has a piece of Capt. Kirk. Actor William Shatner has sold his kidney stone for $25,000, with the money going to a housing charity, it was announced Tuesday.
Hmm... a lunch date with the president? or Captain Kirk's kidney stone? Both are worth negative money to me. Unless I could take lunch with the pres and somehow inflict his kidney with Kirk's kidney stone....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I intend to go with "You know you bought this car because it wasn't compact. Fuck off."
I know there are times when there's nowhere else to park...but that's so often not the case.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Speaking of, is India considered a Muslim country?
I tend to think Hindu for India, but I could be completely wrong.

The Muslim population is (largely) concentrated in the north west, near Pakistan, so those areas I would think be predominantly Muslim, enough for the purposes of the movie, anyway.

Speaking of, is India considered a Muslim country?
Not in the sense that the film would like it to be, no. (I suspect that they set the film there more out of convenience than ideological accuracy -- shooting in Iran or Afghanistan might have been problematic.)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
India still has a big Muslim chunk even without Pakistan I think. Could be the chunkness that's useful to the film -- and the English speaking population.
