If it looks like chicken, tastes like chicken, and feels like chicken but Chuck Norris says its beef, then it's beef.

If women had apostrophes instead of periods they would be even more possessive!

Saw that. All over an irate merchant who didn't properly stack the bottled water in his fridge.  ::)
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

The 'Boxer' is actually from Kuwait:

QuoteThe mysterious pugilist has been named as Kuwaiti-born Irish citizen Mohammed Fadel Dobbous by the Hurryiet Daily News.

Incredible footage of Mr Dobbous getting the better of more than a dozen armed men has become an internet sensation.

Social media users from both Ireland and Turkey have hailed him a hero - with one woman even offering her hand in marriage.

However the fighter is not a professional boxer - at least not in Ireland.
A spokesman for the Boxing Union of Ireland told the Mirror Online: "There is no licensed boxer by that name."

Maybe being Irish is more a state of mind than birth?

That point is proven every St. Paddy's Day here.
