Knights Templar Sue the Pope

pdragon04 writes "According to The Register, "the Knights Templar are demanding that the Vatican give them back their good name and, possibly, billions in assets into the bargain, 700 years after the order was brutally suppressed by a joint venture between the Pope and the King of France..."." I wonder what a holy grail goes for with 700 years of compound interest.

    I like the original better which ends in "...prepar to die!"

    Well said - they'd be teaching it!

    Well, my father who, just passed away, spent the final twenty years of his career teaching at a community college, and loved it. Thank you for insulting his intelligence.

    No offense,...

    For the record, he used the GI bill to graduate with a Master degree from American University, while working full time and raising a family. Many of his students faced similar challenges and he admired them for their efforts to improve their lives. Ironically, his opinions on that were often expressed when defending his work against the attack from elitist fools such as yourself.

    BTW, I didn't edit the post well, but hey two trolls for the price of one, what a bargain.

    and that it harmonises with the purest wine vinegar of your interesting (it would be unique if not for William Shatner) punctuation style to form the salad dressing that is the perfect tribute to the dear departed.

    I really am sorry that my comment didn't meet your high editorial standards, but I'm still in mourning with his loss and I didn't take a lot of time to edit. It was a long illness (cancer), and I had the misfortune to watch his six foot three frame wither in home hospice. I actually do hope that you don't have the same experience, but then again, I have a soul. I generally appreciate your atonement, but poking at me about my grammar was unnecessary. Oh, yea, I do know that I'm sometimes dealing with child-like men on this site, many times with egos far exceeding their humanity.
