The Crusades were a series of military conflicts of a religious character of a defensive nature waged by Christians during 10951291, most of which were sanctioned by the Pope in the name of Christendom. The Crusades originally had the goal of recapturing Jerusalem and the sacred "Holy Land" from Muslim rule and were originally launched in response to a call from the Eastern Orthodox Byzantine Empire for help against the expansion of the Muslim Seljuq dynasty into Anatolia. Some crusades were made up entirely of children. They were not able to reach the Holy land, they died of hunger and disease.

The Christian's eventually took rule over the land but then it was reclaimed by the Muslim's. Now Jerusalem is part of Israel.

WHERES THE BOOZE





















A drunk stumbles along a baptismal service on Sunday afternoon down by the river. He proceeds to walk down into the water and stand next to the Preacher.
The minister turns and notices the old drunk and says, "Mister, are you ready to find Jesus?"
The drunk looks back and says, "Yess, Preasher... I ssssure am."
The minister then dunks the fellow under the water and pulls him right back up.
"Have you found Jesus?" the preacher asked.
"Nooo, I ddddidnt!" said the drunk.
The preacher then dunks him under for quite a bit longer, brings him up and says, "Now, brother, have you found Jesus?"
"Noooo, I dddid not Reverrrrend."
The preacher in disgust holds the man under for at least 30 seconds this time, brings him out of the water and says in a harsh tone,
"My God man, have you found Jesus yet?"
The old drunk wipes his eyes and says to the preacher, "Are you sssssure thhhis is where he fffffelll in?"

All Blacks test fever


Can you wait? I can't. The All Blacks are fired up for the upcoming test which well be held at the MCG in Australia at about 9. After a comfartable win in SA over the Springboks, the All Blacks are confident in tonights game against the wallabies, and there is no doubt that the Australian team are going to be the underdogs to all fans. Here are some facts to back that up:




Head to head
Played 148: New Zealand 100, Australia 43, Drawn 5.
Last time
August 19, 2006 - Eden Park (Auckland) - New Zealand 34-27 Australia .




After losing the test match against the springboks, the Australian side need to pick their game up. Australian star Lote tuquri says that he is confident of a win over the All Blacks, but I think we'll leave that arguement for the field.


The Boys really look like their going to give it all in this crucial Tri-nations/Bledisloe cup match tonight against the foes from across the tasmin.


Go the All Blacks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Barmy Army!!

The Barmy Army is an organised group of cricket fans which organises touring parties of its members to follow the English cricket team on all of its overseas tours. The group acquired its name during the 1994 - 1995 Test series in Australia and has represented the England fans on every tour since.
The Barmy Army has the stated goal "To make watching cricket more fun and much more popular". The group uses flags, banners, songs and chants to encourage the team and crowd participation in their activities. Australians, both players and supporters, serve especially as foils for their "wit".

In contrast to the reputations of some sports fans for hooliganism, the Barmy Army organises itself thoroughly and actively discourages any unsavoury behaviour. The group engages in charity work, and has a good reputation among cricket administrators and among some other fans. However, some cricket followers find the loud, repetitive chanting of the Barmy Army to be annoying, lowbrow and disruptive. Veteran cricket writer and commentator Christopher Martin-Jenkins has accused the Army of "demeaning English cricket".
The Barmy Travel around the world to support their heroes. Despite losing the recent Ashes series the Barmy Army still have their spirit.
The Barmy Army was originally a song sung by English footballing fans. The image “http://www.theage.com.au/ffximage/2007/01/03/GALL_SCG2_SS2_gallery__470x332.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.
Oh, theres only one Barmy Army.......

Riddles

Here is some riddles that you might find easy or hard:

Homicidal Suicide
A man was found dead in his study. He was slumped over his desk and a gun was in his hand. There was a cassette recorder on his desk. When the police entered the room and pressed the play button on the tape recorder they heard: "I can't go on. I have nothing to live for." Then there was the sound of a gunshot. How did the detective immediately know that the man had been murdered and it wasn't a suicide?


Killer Wife, Or Not?
A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be?


Getting Away With Manslaughter
Two cars were involved in an accident in the center of town. The man who was driving a little green car, had overtaken a big black car. The driver had misjudged the distance between him and the on-coming traffic and had to swerve back in, causing the black car to swerve and crash into a shop window. When the occupants of the cars were examined everyone in the green car was okay, but in the black car was one dead man. However, the driver of the green car was not charged with manslaughter, why was this so?
