I know what Muslims believe, and what the Koran teaches. However just
because someone utters a statement such as There is no God but Allah. The
Prophets merely carry his word doesn't mean that they aren't treating the
Prophets in a near-identical fashion to the way in which Allah is
worshipped.
I'm very surprised by that because it's haram, and a fine way to invalidate
your Islam. This is precisely why there's an injunction on making images of
the Prophet Muhammad.

AFAIK I have a Kibo Number[0] of 2. Surely someone here can beat that?

More about the Kibo deity

Pub feedback please
Hello. Could people who were at the social meet at the Green Man last night let me know what they thought of it? On or off list as you feel appropriate. In particular I would like to know whether you would complain if we went there again, and if so which aspects annoyed you. I am aware that there was some problem with beer, but not of the details. I am also always interested in suggestions of new pubs to try, and offers to organise emergency meets at them. Ta, Kake

I have a special Kibo Love Number of 1, reserved for people who have hugged Kibo and have been told by Kibo that he loves them, man. I may have this wrong, but as I understand it a guy grepped Usenet for all instances of the word 'Kibo'. It became known as kibozing the new feed.

My food wasn't very good at all. Others complained of waiting 1 hour for theirs. I only drank Strongbow+Black, so can't judge the beer. It seemed to lack ambience, and the function-room-cum-toilet-corridor was less than ideal IMO. Not even a particularly convenient location (from my POV). /joel
