Monty Python anyone?

CNN.com - Hajj stampede kills hundreds - Jan 12, 2006

This reminds of Monty Python's 'Life of Brian' - the classic stoning scene... except these people seem even dumber than those folks in the movie... But they seem to be on a (slow) path toward evolution... less and less of them are dying each year. Although the inbred ameba culture of the subartic seems to be beyond the simple knowledge that if you tend to die each time you go to a specific spot, then you should *stop* going there. And they don't waste time stoning *stone* pillars. I mean seriously people, you bunch of jackoffs are travelling from all over the world to walk around in circles and throw stones at inanimate objects, trampling one another, and you expect the rest of the world to respect you? Get real.
