My dad and I used to buy them at the local Asian food market (why they had them, we never found out). It was just for kicks, really, but I'd choose one of those over a PowerBar any day...

Well, yes, there <em>are</em> kind of few people who fit their definition of 'atheist'. Also: "Jesus WASN'T Italian or French or British or Thai or a Metrosexual, NO He was American." Uh, no, he was Judean. "Literal reading of the Bible" my cupa.
