2 Tough Questions
Question 1:
If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had 8 kids already, three who were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded, and she had syphilis, would you recommend that she have an abortion?
Read the next question before looking at the response for this one.
Question 2:
It is time to elect a new world leader, and only your vote counts.
Here are the facts about the three candidates. Who would you vote for?
Candidate A.
Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with astrologist. He's had two mistresses. He also chain smokes and drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day.
Candidate B.
He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps until noon, used opium in college and drinks a quart of whiskey every evening.
Candidate C
He is a decorated war hero. He's a vegetarian, doesn't smoke, drinks an occasional beer and never cheated on his wife.
Which of these candidates would be our choice?
Decide first... no peeking, then scroll down for the response.
Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Candidate B is Winston Churchill.
Candidate C is Adolph Hitler.
And, by the way, on your answer to the abortion question:
If you said YES, you just killed Beethoven.

Woot I went for B. Shouldn't trust anybody who's too 'clean'.
I Think the abortion one is a bit misleading. According to wikipedia... Of the seven children born to Johann Beethoven, only second-born Ludwig and two younger brothers survived infancy. Caspar Anton Carl was born in 1774, and Nikolaus Johann, the youngest, was born in 1776.[6] (ooh sourced, normally a good sign).
Infant mortality rates in the 18th century would have been stupidly high anyway.

I went for B too and no to the abortion. I had an idea what they were referring to.

I've read the Beethoven one before, it's actually an urban myth and was a stupid question posed by some pro-life activists or something.
He was actually the Mother's third Child, with the first 2 not surviving.

A and B both sound good, I think B and I wouldn't tell the pregnant women anything, I don't even know her.

Candidate A.
He's had two mistresses.
Is one of them Eleanor Roosevelt's long-term mistress? |

Don't know if this is just a sick coincidence but....
2007 - Chinese year of the Chicken - Bird Flu Pandemic devastates parts of Asia
2008 - Chinese year of the Horse - Equine Influenza decimates Australian racing
2009 - Chinese year of the Pig - Swine Flu Pandemic kills hundreds of pigs around the globe.
Has any one else noticed this???!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It gets worse........
next year......
2010 - Chinese year of the Cock - what could possibly go wrong?
