^^^ Nope, that's why islamic folks doing their prayers do a mini-mexican wave thing - so that their prayers will be directed in a wide arc which, at some point, will spray prayons directly towards Mecca.

Perhaps prayons are reflected by the Ionosphere?

I havnt got my head around Islamic physics yet but it seems might there might be some absurdities

Top-left: Due to the sphericity of the earth, a prayer in any direction will point towards the sky/outer-space, not Mecca.

Top-right: People who are located on the opposite 'side' of the earth would have to pray vertically down towards the center of the earth, and would also blaspheme against Allah, because they defecate toward the direction of the Ka'aba when they answer the call of nature.

Bottom-left: If we use the traditional Muslim method of determining qiblah (i.e. a great circle) this would still be blasphemous because you would be simultaneously praying with your face and backside aimed towards the Ka'aba.

Bottom-right: For people located on the opposite 'side' of the earth any direction for all 360 degrees would be facing 'towards' Mecca and consequently, there would be no one direction that would be the correct one.

The Ionasphere is more of a black hole than anything very reflective.

More likely the Ionasphere will engage them in irrelevancies.

Almost spelled it that way myself

According to Antipodr, the closest thing to the "Other side of the world" to Mecca appears to be this delightful little atoll.

Maybe this is Jannah, miles of sandy beaches full of bikini-clad virgins, year-round sunshine, a massive mid-ocean lake to live in your houseboat on...

We've been through this people! I believe there was talk of how sewerage pipes shouldn't point down here. Though I think sewers might be an oddity in this part of the world.

Some good stuff on: https://www.facebook.com/Crumlinshopingcentre

Just a quick reminder for all customers today, Crumlin Shopping Centre is a secular shopping centre, and as such, anyone with ash on their foreheads, for ash Wednesday, will not be permitted entry to either Dunnes Stores or Tesco's. Staff members will be situated at both entrances to the centre with wet wipes to aide in the removal of the ashes before entry. Thank you.

Incidentally I didn't see a single smudge today (well, yesterday, YKWIM)

A few years back you'd be guaranteed to see one or two smudgers in work and a few out and about at lunchtime.

They could always go to the Ashleaf shopping centre instead.

Same here, thought my mother in law had put one on my son but it turned out he just headbutted a table in creche, she had in fact forgot about ash wednesday, terrible for such a supposedly staunch roman catholic.

Oh dear, that's a difficult stage! Head height to tables and a limited capacity for paying attention to where the tables are

Famous atheist AronRa does an hour long discussion with a woman who founded the group Christians Against Dinosaurs. Be prepared for the worst prepared debate ever. The lady, Kristen Auclair, comes up completely unprepared, knows virtually nothing at all about the topic being discussed and just repeats debunked point after debunked point. At the end, she literally RAGE QUITS, just storms out of the room with no explanation. (AronRa claims in the comments that she replied back saying something about her phone dying...how does your mobile phone's battery somehow prevent you from continuing a discussion?)
On the other hand, AronRa came very well prepared. He mentions having watched several of her videos, shows off some of his fossil collections and neatly debunks many of her claims.

Here's her groups Facebook page
https://www.facebook.com/ChristiansAgainstDinosaurs

THE face of Satanic Atheists tries to use Demonic influence over our Kristen but she overcomes!!! Paid Shills of The MIC are doing everything they can to try and hurt us but we are protected by the Armor of God!

Yeah...

This could easily fit in the interesting things thread as well, ignoring her he has a nice pleasant way of getting points and mini stories accross, I found some of the facts i did not know very interesting in terms of timelines and different lineages of what are commonly but incorrectly referred to as Dinosaurs.

Even better was it was a pleasant listen while I scored thousands of genotypes, which is not interesting, even is the overall process is.

I liked it as well. I was listening to it while playing Diablo 3, although I missed a portion to my insane maniacal laughter over coming across a literal ARMY of treasure goblins in a rift, where I proceeded to rip them apart and loot the goodies like they were sweets from a pinata.

Ever wondered which sexual positions will drop you into fiery oblivion, even if you're married in the eyes of your local deity? Well, wonder no more as this splendid pastor from the UK tells it like it is.

Take it away!
