LaserMonks Offer Prayer, Printer Cartridges

Posted by simoniker on from the unknown-if-monks-are-electric dept.

Minnesotan writes "According to a Twincities.com article: If you need discounted inkjet- or laser-printer cartridges, Wisconsin's LaserMonks say they'll give you a doozy of a deal while you 'support prayer for the world'. The Cistercian priests - yes, they're actual Catholic monks - oversee a novel e-commerce enterprise out of their rural abbey. Proceeds go to maintain the monastery and finance charitable works around the world."

    Bottom line: Christians aren't necessarily a colt believing a fairy tale.
    Maybe it's more like a mare, or a pretty little pony?

    And God sayeth unto the people:

    "You know, I have one simple request - and that is, to have monks with frikkin' laser beams attached to their heads!"

    Amen.

    Weeeell... that sounds good at first. Remember though that most people that follow that, the traditional and the new age alike, try to avoid that due to the law of threes: a basic summary being whatever you do is returned threefold to you. In other words, said witchdoctor would have three times the curse he put on SCO thrown right back at him, and he knows that. Take into account the fact that a witchdoctor who refills printer cartriges probably reads slashdot and groklaw, and knows SCO doesn't really have much to show in the way of evidence (or SCO wouldn't need to ask IBM for everything they've contributed so they can then look for breaches of IP) and said witchdoctor would be stupid to do this. They'd just bring a load of negative energy straight down on them to accomplish something that the army of IBM lawyers seems to be doing well enough on their own.

    Very few people are "uncircumcized", which is a difficult bit of plastic surgery The word is "intact".

    Yes, my mistake with the terminology.

    I believe your assertion that "very few" people are circumcized may apply only to the US. Many people outside the US are "intact". There is no medical reason why the procedure is performed - anyone who bathes on a regular or even semi-regular basis has nothing to worry about in the genital hygene dept.

    Perhaps this is a new /. poll?

    - Yes, I've been cut.
    - No, I'm all there.
    - I'm female you jackass.
    - I have no genitals you insensitive clod!.
    -

    Ok maybe not.
