The Great Blizzard of Aught-Eight


Eleanor had the "24 hour" (72) stomach flu, it turns out. When asked what was the source of her greatest strength during the illness, she replied, "Islam" and, to the surprise of all present, donned a traditional Sunni head covering and prayed the salaat. "I am no longer Eleanor. That was merely the slave name pinned to me the day I was born. I am now Fatima Suprema. REPRESENT."

When your seven month old baby converts to a major world faith, you know it's time to reassess.
