Robert’s first stop is Canterbury Cathedral, where he is surprised to learn that financial figures for the Church of England are readily available. Robert then travels to Westminster Cathedral to learn about the Catholic Church’s status in England. Part of the Catholic Church’s income in the UK goes to fund the Vatican, so Rome is Robert’s next destination. It soon becomes apparent that Vatican City is a financial black hole, and no one wants to admit how much money the Pope actually has.

Next Robert travels to Jerusalem to scour the finances of Judaism, only to find the Israeli government cannot even put a figure on the number of synagogues in the country. “There’s one God – that’s the only figure I can think of,” says Ariel Catane of the National Authority of Religious Services.

Finally, Robert heads to the East London Mosque to get a handle on the wealth of Islam. Despite the plethora of statistics available, he finds that no one has ever conducted an audit of the UK’s 1,600 mosques. And his efforts to obtain the global income for Islam founder when none of the embassies of the world’s biggest Muslim countries agree to meet him. Undeterred, Robert eventually comes up with a total figure – but which of the top religions is the richest?

Movies, Scenes or DVD's that sucked or were stupid in 2008

by free2beme in

the idea here is to say what movies you saw this year that sucked, were stupid or lame and also any scenes in a movie that also did this (like if it is a movie you liked, but you hated this scene).. movies i saw that sucked!.

ruins - killer ancient plant, with people killing each other and plant talking to them.

i was laughing, not scared.. the happening - this director seemed to want to just have an excuse to make a movie with some lame gore.

Bert and Ernie have separate twin beds. Don't spread rumors. I love Ernie!

The Beaver's parents had separate twin beds but they managed to procreate and have 2 children.

I've heard that the Swedish Chef is a traveling overseer in Europe. Also Bert and Ernie were disfellowshipped for loose conduct.
