I'm a religious studies and history double major. I can understand how Islamic law dictates that a man may have more than one wife and up to four as long as he can treat them all fairly. I also know the history behind that reasoning and that the Qur'an later says it is impossible to treat more than one wife fairly. But having 86 wives?! That's a little extreme. Especially when you note that he reportedly has cured all the sick in his large family, with the exception of two of his children. His children, I might add, number somewhere in the 170s. Oh, and nobody works in that family either, so it's a mystery how they make money and survive.
And what does SpongeBob have to do with Gitmo? Well, a NY man is using him as a poster boy (sponge?) for water boarding. He's created a ride that shows people what water boarding is like - but don't worry, you won't get harmed in the ride. The victim isn't living, nor is it SpongeBob, but instead a robot. It is supposed to help us all learn about why human rights groups see this method of 'interrogation' as torture.
In other funky news, people who love Bollywood movies will be excited (maybe?) to know that Snoop Dogg is going to be in Akshay Kumar's latest film singing/rapping a mixture of Hindi, Punjabi, and English. Apparently Kumar approached Snoop. I guess the song has already been released and is topping the Indian charts. For the video, go here. The song is kinda catchy, even if it's a weird mix.
Oh, and for everyone that was worried that Morgan Freeman (who is doing well btw) was getting divorced because of the lady in the car accident with him, you can chill. He and his wife have been separated since December '07. And did anyone else know he used to be a mechanic in the Air Force?
