She means well, but dude, you live in NEW YORK FREAKING CITY. THERE ARE KIND OF A LOT OF JEWS HERE.
This reminds me of the time my Jewish friends from New York went to London and were asked, "Are there a lot of Jews in New York?"
Now we're saving a vampire from vampires. I got two words for that -- Nuh and uh.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

How much did they know about the religious breakdown of London?

Heh, I looked it up, and it was actually an American Mormon in London.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
"Are there a lot of Jews in New York?"
I think this should replace my no-longer applicable "Is the Pope Polish?" when sarcastically answering in the affirmative.

Hee. To be most accurate, it went like this:
American Mormon: Are there many Jews where you live?
Friend: In...New York?
AM: Yeah.
Friend: Um...yeeeeeah.

Dear Alan Grayson, Thanks so much for telling Cheney "STFU" on Hardball. But you have five children, and, to my knowledge do not play golf. Therefore, you need to stop it. Love and church tongue(Temple tongue?) Me

Our wings are not tired.
OMD, you guys should have seen the other message board I belong to last year, around this time. It's a hodgepodge of a bunch of individual groups (originating on Salon, mostly) but we share the same URL. Anyway, lots of peeps pop in and out of different communities, and for the most part, it's very cool. But in one thread last year, I was in a discussion about how I was moving from Agnostic towards Atheism, mostly in a joking way about how I really just needed to make up my mind. But the discussion was a good one, with a lot of people chiming in.
Then, in another, unrelated, thread, I wished everyone "Merry Christmas!!" and someone actually said, "but Java, you're an Atheist. You're a giant hypocrite for saying that and you owe all Christians an apology" or somesuch. And she was very serious. I can't begin to tell you the hailstorm that greeted her by all of the other posters. Thank goodness my internet skin is pretty thick AND she was so ridiculous that I couldn't really be bothered. She's not been back since, and she had been posting there for years.
