The science of Aslan

So I have just discovered the existence of Reza Aslan, a very interesting american muslim writer (watching this debate made me feel like converting from atheism to Islam as the more rational, pluralistic choice. That atheist guy! Such a moron!) Anyway, my favourite thing about him is this line from Wikipedia:
The Guardian newspaper in Britain reports that Aslan is a Shi'a Muslim.
(Second favourite is that he has groupies)

EDIT with amusing story:
Normally when I get other cat's scent on me Kira isn't too fussed, she just sniffs out of curiosity then makes sure to cover their scent with her own.
I went to visit [livejournal.com profile] kitsune_iii today and Storm was immediately drawn to my bag. "oh ho!" she was thinking "So this Kira thinks she own this bag huh?"
So she rubbed herself all over it as much as possible, and then curled up against it for some time looking cheerfully smug.
When I came home Kira wandered past my bag and then stopped, sniffed it, and became immediately tense, tail sticking out all frizzed up and everything. For quite some time she'd wander past, sniff it again and again get all narky, she was not happy with me. I get the feeling Storm made the cat-scent equivalent of a rude gesture at her :)

Diesel gets really really funny about about dog smell. If I've had Henry (grandmas dog) on my lap, she'll sit on something next to my lap and sniff and paw at it for ages till she gets startled.

Then again, she's pretty strange about everything, so I dunno if this gets her particularly tense. . Lately she's decided that our going to bed time is the perfect time for getting up and playing :P

Well you're being boring and need to be encouraged to be more interesting! :)
