On January 28, 2009, the Indonesian Ulemas Council issued a fatwa, a religious edict, forbidding all Muslims from practicing yoga
that includes meditation and chanting.
The council is not a government entity, but it receives funding from the Ministry of Religion. The fatwa is an attempt to influence morality in Indonesia, but yoga class attendance has not been affected by the fatwa. There is a formal ban on yoga in neighboring Malaysia.

“dylon” is obviously the pampered whelp of one of our great Republican leaders. His quips adequately indicate his intelligence and origins.
This invention is another example of how modern materials can be adapted in simple ways to solve age old problems. Material – high impact plastic. Problem – transporting water long distances in areas where no motorized vehicles are readily available.
The world needs more thinking like that behind this invention. As for “dylon”, well, most would agree the world needs less of these spoiled whelps.
