The dilemma seemed to be what would happen to Armany, now that he's let loose the secrets of *their* methods. Jesus is the answer? Yeah, what a great punishment for Armany ;D Well, I'm sure Armany thinks its better than the alternatives ;D |

You're right about that, Gynovia! So, as punishment for my revelation of TD and HoG's tactics to you all, I am now subjected to entering into a personal relationship with Jesus. Wait a minute! That's not that harsh. ;D Maybe they try to save their political enemies spiritually before they dispatch of them by other means...  |

They must be graciously giving you a chance to "get right with the LORD" before you pass into eternity! ;D

Really? Read Treasure Island, watch Pirates of the Caribbean, read cheaper by the dozen (or was it Belles on their toes?) they all mention it. It's an older saying, obviously, and used among pirates mostly.

But who exactly is ( or, shall I say, was) Davy Jones? The earliest known reference to Davy Jones occurs in The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle by Tobias Smollett, published in 1751 Davy Jones is a nickname (used primarily by sailors) for what would be the devil of the seas. As is common with slang, the exact origin of "Davy Jones" is hard to discover. These explanations have been proposed: [2] [3] A pub owner named David Jones who used to incapacitate hapless drinkers in his ale locker, and send them off aboard ships. Duffer Jones, a notoriously myopic sailor who often found himself overboard. Davy comes from Duppy, a West Indian term for ghost, or from Saint David, also known as Dewi, the patron saint of Wales, while Jones comes from the prophet Jonah. A euphemism for a "Devil Jonah"; Jonah being a term referring to any bad luck on the ocean. David Jones, a pirate on the Indian Ocean in the 1630s. - Jan Rogoziñski, The Wordsworth Dictionary of Pirates, Ware, Hertfordshire, 1997 The last two do not explain the locker. The name may have originated in Wales, as David Jones is a common name there. |

at first i didn't even think about it and i thought nothing is wrong with it, but then i saw Enemy of the State (great movie) and i had to think more, but now i think that that is a very unlike circumstance and Bush, wiretap away. i would rather be safe, than worry about Bush listen to worthless phone calls, lol
