RATTLE TALE

Oddly plausible brilliance from The Onion, here.



It would probably be a less gruesome spectacle than the D-backs' last two games against the Colorado Rockies, alas…

So fortunately this asshole down in Florida was somehow dissuaded from disgracing his country, this solemn day, & the faith he claims to profess by burning Korans. I wonder if it was because he happened to re-read the scene in Marlowe’s Tamburlaine the Great in which the title character burns…

…superstitious books/Found in the temples of that Mahomet…

…& scorns the prophet…

…That suffers flames of fire to burn the writ/Wherein the sum of thy religion rests…

…only to be taken ill a few lines later for this hubris & die.

Yeah, that was probably what changed his mind.
