Another "Orthodox Jews were seen to "--fill in the blank--" thread today!

One could probably find, say 35 million examples of the equivalent DAILY, in countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran, and the like. But because Orthodox Jews are involved, it becomes a serious discussion. Now of course, I am NOT subscribing to their, IMO, idiotic rules in this modern society, but the dwelling upon JEWS is, well, somewhat disturbing and has become a trend around here. But of course, this post alone will lead to much sputtering, gasping, and pearl-clutching by many, including those who tell misogynisitic jokes when their wives/girlfriends,sisters leave the room, but then, who's counting?

Here's an exciting thread title: Two Jewish Physicians develop vaccines which end polio.

Here's another: Jewish Physicist wins Nobel Prize for the discovery and explication of the Photoelectric Effect and later proffers Theory of Special Relativity.

How about this one: Jewish actress to play Tiffany Case upon the return of Sean Connery to the Bond franchise

Or this: Jewish Baseball player named by Sports Illustrated Magazine as the Athlete of the Twentieth Century

While we're at it: Jewish Composer at sixteen years of age assisted by his twelve year old sister pens themes for Shakespeare's a Midsummer Night's Dream including the Wedding March used by couples for hundreds of years.

How's this: Jew sacrifices his life for his beliefs: is crucified by Romans and vanishes into air three days later. Disciples claim that he is the Son of God.

I haven't seen too many of these kinds of posts lately...
