Rex Murphy: Testing America’s tolerance

[wombat2u2004]

Bury a Red Sox jersey when they pour the foundation.

Don't laugh about that one mate....it just might happen.
In Malaya (a muslim country) they used to bury a child live in the foundations of a new bridge....that was to ensure that the bridge remained safe.
Another example of a sick and twisted culture ????
Sounds like something Neandertal Man would do 70,000 years ago.
I guess some things just don't change.

I have to repost the story. It was more of a joke than burying a child in the foundation. I don't think neandertal man was interested in burying their off- spring. They were too busy raising them to hunt and gather?
