An interesting conjecture. I think that's not the reason though, for the following:
So far as we know, the oldest account of the birth of Christ is the gospel of John, fragments of which are dated as early as 125 AD. This indicates that the original first copy is probably before 100 AD, during the so-called "apostolic age", during which followers of Christ still focused on converting within expatriate Jewish communities, since they still viewed themselves as a Jewish sect. This is also the reason why I do not believe that the early Christian church "borrowed" the crucifixion story from Bacchanal mythology, as is widely believed in some history-buff circles.
The oil droplets descend to the bottom of the ocean. Some ecologists think this is worse than letting it sit on top of the ocean. You can clean birds, but you can't clean the plankton that feed the bottom of the food chain.
Having government take care of the needy absolves us of the moral responsibility to give a damn anymore. We can get our warm fuzzies by pulling a lever instead of putting in our own time and effort to improve the human condition.
"If you believe in freedom of speech, you believe in freedom of speech for views you don't like. Goebbels was in favor of freedom of speech for views he liked. So was Stalin. If you're in favor of freedom of speech, that means you're in favor of freedom of speech precisely for views you despise." -- Noam Chomsky (I hate the guy's views on most things, but he's dead-on here)
Canadian militia units served only either in Canada itself or attached to British units in the Michigan territories. And, while those militias performed admirably (the Battle of Queenston Heights, for example), they certainly didn't burn down the White House.
It should also be noted that the burning of the capitol was not exactly an auspicious occasion for the British. A tornado killed thirty of them (the only casualties of the event), they bled much-needed men and ships from other active campaigns (which they lost), and all they accomplished was eradicating anti-war sentiment in the US (which still ran high). And, adding insult to injury, the building still stands; something that cannot be said for the Parliament building in Ontario whose destruction the British were trying to avenge in the first place.
And now that you've exposed the nefarious operations of the Agencies, you can soon expect black vans to pull up to your house and "collect" you for "questioning." That was very brave of you, putting your life to get the information out about how the DOD is putting propaganda in WOW. Why, even as I type this, Echelon is storing your personal information and alerting the appropriate assassination squads that you need to be taken out to preserve their secrets.
And if the vans never come, and you never see the black helicopters; don't fret, it doesn't mean you're wrong. It's just more proof that the government is trying to mess with your head. Thankfully, there is protection!

Excellent, because I'm not able to play Crysis WITH a computer.
Karma may a bitch, but meta-moderation is a poxy whore with a truncheon. He'll get his.

Consider R'ing TFA. Second link has pics. Dear Lord, people, who in the world ties your shoes in the morning?

Pulsars are terrible wristwatches??? Really?

Physician, heal thyself.
You may take this opportunity to stop surfing the web at work, then. For one day out of the year, at least.
You and 5 whiny children who modded you up need to learn how to not click on April Fool's links. It's that easy. Don't. Click.
Statisticians need to learn programming or I will kill them all.
Yeah, like Isaac Newton. Or Renee Descartes. Ridiculous fabulators, the whole lot.
Yeah, Linus is a lazy coat-tail-rider, doing his "coding" instead of ranting on a lecture circuit.
If you fail to see the creative potential in the civilian application of such a high-powered laser, then you lack imagination.
Yeah, no one has ever attacked a *nice* country.
You might have had a valid point, if the main protagonist in both CoD:MW games wasn't British SAS.
Green lights are often blue to accommodate reg/green color blindness.

We use Scrum Lord, because it's funnier.
That's ridiculous; I never saw any apples.
We all have coping mechanisms. This death really struck a chord for us.
