World Cup Final
The World Cup final is over; some ludicrous number of people watched some team beat the other team. The next tournament will be held in Germany in 2006. If you haven't watched the game for whatever reason, obviously you might want to avoid clicking through (or reading any other news site, or talking to anyone...). Neither of those two links should be a spoiler, though.
And for those that did click through, the final standings are up, as are lots and lots of reports about the game.
Yeah, you're right. That religion thing - it's great for Sundays and all, but you can't let it affect your life. I mean, those people who act like their eternal destiny is the most important thing are total nutters. Far better to turn up on Sundays, sit quietly and listen, take part in the rituals (it's really important to do all these things exactly the right way) then go home and watch the football...
