Heads22 Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 At the end of the story, the tour guide continues. Guide: Many interesting and important things have been put into boxes over the years: textiles, other boxes, even children's candy. Milhouse: Do any of these boxes have candy in them? Guide: No. Milhouse: Will they ever? Guide: No, we only make boxes to ship nails. Any other questions? Martin: When will we be able to see a finished box, Sir? Guide: Well, we don't assemble them here -- that's done in Flint, Michigan. Bart: Have any of the workers ever had their hands cut off by the machinery? Guide: No -- Bart: And then the hand started crawling around and tried to strangle everybody? Guide: No, that has never happened. Bart: Any popped eyeballs? Guide: I'm not sure what kind of factory you're thinking of; we just make boxes here. -- Q&A at the box factory, "Bart Gets Famous" Guide: This room is the most popular part of our tour. Milhouse: It's just like the other rooms. Guide: Yes, but with one important difference: [looks over] Oh, they took that out. Yes, it is just like the other rooms. Milhouse: [pointing out the window] What's that building over there? Guide: That's just a TV studio where they film Krusty the Klown and other non-box-related programs. Since it has nothing to do with boxes, I'll just shut these blinds. -- Keeping attention focused, "Bart Gets Famous" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Tomorrow, I am going to the Islamic Religious Center of Winona.MN(Town I live in) As you know tomorrow is the 10th of September. I will give you guys the details tomorrow after school on how it went. Also, my teacher says that Friday is the Muslims holiday. Which really was intresting. If you have any questions for the Muslims ask me here and I will ask them for ya! Try to ask lots of questions. Use it as an opportunity to put a face on Islam. It is a great chance to learn that 99.9% of Muslims want the exact samething that Christians want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesotaSoxFan Posted September 11, 2004 Author Share Posted September 11, 2004 Ok... Muslims have a unique type of prayer. First they speak in Arabic while doing it. Then they do a little "dance". They get up,bend over, put face on the ground, and repeat like that. Somepeople when they did that laughed. I was one of them, but I tried to respect them. I know that I'm taking a FIRST CLASS trip to hell. Then after they did their service we got to speak to the people. I talked to a Bangladeshian and he was cool. He has been in the USA for 3 years. He has been called names, but the worst one happened in Buffalo, New York. He said not everyone has the same type of agenda as the "extremests" from the 9/11 attacks. It's a very sad stereotype and I have to defend these guys whenever someone bashes muslims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesotaSoxFan Posted September 11, 2004 Author Share Posted September 11, 2004 They fast for 40 days. During sunrise to sunset. They get a calendar from Mecca that tells them the time when they can stop eating. They infact do get hungry watching others eat during the day. It's tradition and that is how they do things. OH YEAH! If women are menstrating they can't pray. BTW, Muslims 5 times during the day(When they wake up, Breakfast, 2 wild card prayings, and Before Bed) That is all.
