That is mostly because they come from the same area. Although, hebrew was used many hundreds of years before many of the languages used by muslims.

Yeah i read somethign regarding that before. If you read up on the ancient city of babylon you learn alot of interesting stuff. Im really interested in ancient origins, expecial those of the middle east and india.

My brother is a qualified Class 1 R.L.coach (but work demands mean he hasn't coached for a few years now), and my grandad founded the first schoolboy R.L.team back in the 1930's.
It says a lot about the financial state of the game that the legendary Wigan captain, Graham West, is a taxi driver now.
I'm all for football...Tottenham to be precise...and I'm exstatic that Hoddle has gone.

I am a HUGE RUGBY FAN I play at county level, and a couple of times i've played at regional level (1 below England!!) I am a saints fan, and have watched England at twickers' 12 times!

[Horus_Kol]

never been big on watching sports, tell you the truth. the rivalry at school was simply down to the towns, not the rugby.

i'm just more of a doer, thats all.

Folks from Baltimore are known for saying "hon" (derivative of "honey", but actually pronounced "hawn") after a sincere greeting of their choice. Examples:

"Hey there, hon!"
"How ya doin', hon?"
"Getcha sump'n, hon?" (typical Baltimore diner greeting)
