Because it’s not a problem with the Pope’s lack of faith, it’s his security detail’s lack of faith in other people’s faith.

At least, in most of the explanations I’ve heard contrived by people who actually care to follow that stuff.

None of that going on, but indeed, loosening up is good to do. I was at work when I read that & lately work has not been too fun.

That story always bugged me. It’s inconsistent
with the rest of the stories in that it depicts God
and Satan on a relatively even playing field.

Somehow, it seems out of place.

@Rho: I heard that the woman claimed her friend had changed her haircut and that might be the reason, because the chimp didn’t recognize her, or something ridiculous like that. I’m actually surprised we haven’t had a lol on the subject complete with TOO SOON caretrolls.

@Danbala: Yes. A woman had a 91 kg
chimpanzee as a pet. The chimp ate at the
table and drank wine from stemware, even.

For no reason that the owner has disclosed,
the chimp viciously attacked the woman’s
friend. The victim is in dire shape, despite
the owner’s efforts to stop the attack with
a butcher knife, among other things.

Insane. Then I’d be inclined to think the individual in all that who’d been most in need of a firearm is the chimp.
.
I just found an article saying the owner’d fed it xanax too. Jebus. Too bad it was a – probably – more innocent visitor who got to bear the brunt of the result. (My normally rather good supply of patience and sympathy tends to be very, very small when it comes to people treating animals stupidly.)

@Danbala
Yeah, she treated it like it was her son and it went (pardon the pun) apesh*t and attacked her friend one day. I think her friend is in critical condition and the cops ended up shooting the chimp. It spawned this controversy over the appropriateness of keeping wild animals, even ones that are our evolutionary cousins, as pets when they are, in fact, not.

By: dissimilitude

dissimilitude — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 17:38:54 +0000

@ Danbala: Yes, apparently she’d had it for years and it got out of control one day and she called her friend (who I’m guessing is NOT her friend anymore) to come help her round him up and the chimp attacked her, pretty much ripped her face off (*puke*) and nearly killed her before the police showed up and shot it.

They do have to deal with some wackyassed stuff in between
actual emergencies…[link] to a website that has posted both
actual emergency calls and bizarre ones. Like the lady that
calls 911 because Burger King messed up her order in the
drivethrough.

Someone had a chimp as a pet?

By: Jane St.Clair

Jane St.Clair — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 17:26:52 +0000

I don’t blame the 911 operator either, my humor stems from imagining what was going through his/her head when he took the call!

By: dissimilitude

dissimilitude — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 17:18:14 +0000

Yeah, I think so, she may have also tried hitting it with something….and I have to admit I have some sympathy for the 911 operator! Who expects a freakin’ chimp attack in suburban Connecticut?

Lesson to be learned, I think, is that if your friend calls and needs help with her chimp, say no firmly and suggest she contact Animal Control.

By: Jane St.Clair

Jane St.Clair — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 17:11:33 +0000

Didn’t she try stabbing the chimp before the cops got there? I love how the 911 responder was all like, “Your chimp is attacking your friend? Riiiiiiiight.”

By: dissimilitude

dissimilitude — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 16:57:55 +0000

Which reminds me, somewhat on topic, I heard a guy on the radio while I was working last night going on about how if that lady in Connecticut
with the psychotic chimp had owned a gun, she could have shot
the chimp before police got there and possibly minimized the damage…..now, as you are all aware I’m entirely in favor of people having the right to own guns (although I think it’s a right that comes with the inherent responsibility to secure
your firearms and use them responsibly, including range practice) but my first thought was, “Please…that nutjob would be entirely likely to accidentally
shoot her friend instead.” People say some stupid, stupid things.

Or like when Musicmom said something about her archnemesis and I posted as Musicmom’s Archnemesis for humor. We went through a long period of time where we didn’t have avatars on the site, so there was a huge problem with certain people (*cough*megabob*cough*) creating multiple names for themselves and posting in support of themself, or just to be a general ass.

…without consequences or for deliberately humorous effect… as a hypothetical, suppose you had made a post about, um…getting into a fender-bender in a parking lot. At that point, somebody might respond as “Saint’s insurance agent” or “Saint’s Car” or something. This hasn’t been done as much since we got the avatars as you are either obviously yourself or you have to go to the bother of using another email.

Infallibility was a response to German Biblical Scholarship in
the 1880s. Basically, the RCC tried to do what the Germans
were doing in sola scriptura type critical study. They found
they started haemorrhaging clergy to the protestant sects, or
out of the church altogether.
Interestingly, the way the Germans stopped losing clergy was
by a piece of logical back flippery that would make the RCC
proud to have thought of, bascially, they developed an inner
and outer teaching, such that the ‘faith’ based stuff was for
the crowds and the more stupid clergy, but the ones with
above average comprehension skills we taught that the form
is more important than ‘literalism’… which really flew back to
what the RCC had been doing since its inception with dogma.
