Yep, unfortunately it is. I didn't read it as anything specific, but I definitely felt less comfortable looking at it. Probably wouldn't feel that way if I was in Egypt or somewhere where it's common place, but here in the US it has that connotation. Just brings bad shit to mind I guess.

The migratory woodland caribou (in Latin, Rangifer tarandus caribou) of Northern Quebec and Labrador live in two wild herds, the Leaf herd with 628,000 individuals and the George River herd with 385,000 individuals. The caribou generally travel upwards of 2,000 km annually and live in an area of about 1,000,000 square kilometres. Some individuals have been observed traveling 6,000 km in a single year.

The caribou population varies considerably, for unknown reasons, and their numbers have apparently peaked in the later decades of each of the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. The most recent decline at the turn of the 20th century caused much hardship for the Inuit and Cree communities of Nunavik, Quebec, who hunt them for subsistence. By 1950, as few as 5,000 caribou remained in Northern Quebec and Labrador.

Caribooooooooooooo

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcoholic_proof

Britain defined alcohol content in terms of ?proof spirit,? which was defined as the most dilute spirit that would sustain combustion of gunpowder. The term originated in the 18th century, when payments to British sailors included rations of rum. To ensure that the rum had not been watered down, it was ?proofed? by dousing gunpowder in it, then testing to see if the gunpowder would ignite. If it did not burn, the rum contained too much water and was considered to be ?under proof.? A proven sample of rum was defined to be 100 degrees proof; this was later found to occur at 57.15% alcohol by volume.
 
Foreign Objects was an American mathcore band that formed in West Chester, Pennsylvania in 1994. Comprising Deron Miller and Jess Margera, the band released one extended play, The Undiscovered Numbers & Colors, in 1995. The EP was remastered and reissued in 2003 as part of a two-disc set including an album of previously unreleased material.
 
""Pompey's Pillar" is the best-known ancient monument still standing today. It is located on Alexandria's ancient acropolis ? a modest hill located adjacent to the city's Arab cemetery ? and was originally part of a temple colonnade. Including its pedestal, it is 30 m (99 ft) high; the shaft is of polished red granite, 2.7 meters in diameter at the base, tapering to 2.4 meters at the top. The shaft is 88 feet high made out of a single piece of granite. This would be 132 cubic meters or approximately 396 tons."

Ancient writers believed that "elephants are scared by the smallest squeal of a pig",[56] and the vulnerability was exploited. At the Megara during the Diachoi wars, for example, the Megarians reportedly poured oil on a herd of pigs, set them alight, and drove them towards the enemy's massed war elephants. The elephants bolted in terror from the flaming squealing pigs.[57]

This made me chuckle.

"In Ancient Egypt, at the temple in Mendes, the goat was viewed as the incarnation of the god of procreation. As a ritual of worship, the male priests would use female goats for sex, and the female priests would do likewise with male goats"

Bad shit to mind should be coming from pretty much anywhere on the globe. Personally I think its the anti arab bias that has existed been perpetuated for a long time. Check out "Reel Bad Arabs" by Jack Shaheen on google sometime and it talks about how Hollywood portrayal of arabs for the past 100 years has been extremeeeely negative.

I remember reading that from another thread, lol. Flaming pig sounds like a weapon from a "Worms" game.

That's just messed up. And that's not even the worst thing; some ancient religions called for child sacrifices and ritualistic rape.
