We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.
Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

And the Lord saith unto Achmed from on high, “Seventy virgin Windows. Windows you idiot, not Women!”

Who Are We? The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling.
We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

What’s a virgin windows?
Great post,Nasa will go far away from mars.
Sort of an IT joke. When you have done a fresh install of an operating system it is jokingly called a ‘virgin install’. Thus a virgin Window. The pics are actually of a Windows System7 install giving its ‘hello world’ message after the install completed.
Actually, I heard it really is a misprint for “72 raisons”. Don’t know if it’s true, but wouldn’t it be great if it were? All those people killing themselves for something you can buy in a grocery store these days.
I think the Koran is clear enough. It’s seventy virgins for all of eternity. So basically, 72 women your not allowed to touch, but I bet they are still allowed to complain.
72 female virgins?
Holy crap! There’s a bunch of ugly ass guys out there!
“So basically, 72 women your not allowed to touch, but I bet they are still allowed to complain.”
The Koran says, you kuffar, that each virgin is immediately re-virginated after sex. Still, starting on day 73, it must get pretty boring.
I thought it was “raisins” also. “Sultana” has been mis-translated as “unimpregnated female warlord” instead of “sun-dried grape”.
And my old late father, fairly well-informed about middle-Eastern affairs and peoples, and who married a Lebanese woman and thus got stuck with me, said that in Paradise, the faithful drink “honey-flavoured water, and THERE IS NO DESIRE”. (Well, there you go.)
I don’t know what you’re laughing about. I bet that 72 virgin, ie unbroken, windows would have been worth a fortune in the middle east! Glass untouched by grubby masculine hands!
“unimpregnated female warlord” instead of “sun-dried grape”.
This is why we need more Centers of Islamic Studies at our Universities.
Whatever you do, don’t tell Achmed.
He keel you!

There was a great editorial cartoon a few months back after Osama Bin Laden was buried at sea.
It showed Osama underwater surrounded by fish and thinking, “… 72 sturgeons?”
