I don't trust angels. They're just too two goody two shoes. Give me something with free will, thank you very much.

You mean the three wishes thing is a hoax? Gawd I hate growing up.

I LOVE folklore. It's fun and interesting, there's so much to the stories.....from sheer entertainment to parables about life. Fascinating stuff.

And, from Wickedpaedia.
Quote:
"The Qur'an says that the jinn are made of a smokeless and "scorching fire",but are also physical in nature, being able to interact in a tactile manner with people and objects and likewise be acted upon. The jinn, humans and angles make up the three known sapient creations of Gawd. Like human beings, the jinn can be good, evil, or neutrally benevolent and hence have free will like humans and unlike angels."

Interesting, I'd mostly heard about the jinn as evil beings, kind of like demons.

Um, well.....at least one did. Lol.

I don't buy into that modern concept of angels, they took a fearsome creature from legend and added some sparkles. Kind of like Twilight only moderately more interesting. Lol.

In the Old Testament, Satan is Gawd's servant.

However, beware of satan unmentionables.

Help me out here...

Turkey is a NATO member. If it were attacked by genies, would Canada under Article 5 transport vinegar to assist that nation.

Heck no! We need the vinegar to make the pickled eggs!

Maybe we got some maple syrup in the back. We can send that.

Jinn and maple syrup - that might work.

It's sticky. I think it'll work better.

 

[Spade]

Well, at least it will make the Jinn taste better.

Mmmm! Jinn and Schweppes Bitter Lemon! Niiiice.

I think the Jinn are mentioned in the Chinese anthem. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I always thought genies and fairies were the good guys. After all, Disney said so, didn't he?

You gets good and bad ones.

Couple of well placed olives are all you really need for that.

Olives proffered by the Incredible Hulk.

If de rigueur means "served to me non-stop" then no, I don't.

Think I'll buy some vermouth and gin...
Do you have one of those shaking thingies? You know, they're shaped like a thermos.

Probably not. Surely to good gawd, they didn't sell them to minors?
