1. It's been overtaken by even bigger news.

About the seven mooks in Miami who wanted to blow up the Sears Tower, despite having no money, no skills, no explosives, no terrorist connections, nothing. But we're supposed to be really scared of them.

3. A cilice is a restrictive band,..

...usually worn on the thigh or arm, sometimes with studs or small spikes on the inside. It is irritating and annoying, and is meant to be a constant reminder of Christ's suffering on the cross. It rose to public attention most recently in The DaVinci Code, because the Opus Dei character wore one as part of his practice of self-mortification.

4. It's like a crown of thorns, I think.

Meant to be a painful reminder of Christ's suffering. I think the Opus Dei radicals wear them.

8. Well, I do something like that, I go to the beach as much as I can

to remind myself I can't walk on water.

14. I thought you were going to talk about sand inside your bathing suit.

7. The word is 'cilice'

In the novel The Da Vinci Code, the use of a cilice on the upper thigh is a prominent signature trait of the albino monk Silas, a fictional member of Opus Dei. Both Brown's book and the Ron Howard movie exaggerate it, however, depicting the cilice as something that is wrapped so tightly that it digs into the flesh, causing bleeding and severe pain.

9. Wouldn't want to get your testicle caught on that fucker. Pubic

hair either.

[wakeme2008]

10. Hey that looks like a good back scratcher...

:rofl:

[Fridays Child]

13. Here's a photograph of a cilice in use.

[peace frog]

11. Rumor has it

Mother Theresa wore a cilise, as does Antonin Scalia.

Lou Dobbs is rumored to be an Opus Dei-er, wonder if he wears a cilise under that sharp looking suit?

[Flubadubya]

12. Come to think of it...

they NEVER show Lou below the chest. Wonder who cleans up the little pool of blood under his chair after broadcast? :rofl:

[KoKo]

15. Well when Rick and Pete shot off their mouths it was to set stage

for the Gang of Blacks who wanted to blow up Miami and Chicago that's been all over the cables today. A nastier looking bunch of thugs couldn't have been found except on "Hollywood Casting Lot" where they were looking for that most Southern Whites think are the REAL "TERRAISTS" among us. That "Southern Strategy Thingy" ramped to the MAX!

Sorry for my cynical view...just my mood these days..

[countingbluecars]

17. Yep,

a Rove/GOP blitz. I wonder what they have in store next?

[peacetalksforall]

16. So that's what it is. Makes sense. Thanks for the lol. nt

[kskiska]

18. I remember reading that Rose Kennedy was educated at a convent

in Europe where the girls were made to wear a celice on their wrists.
