- emanpa68, on 06/11/2009, -2/+180If your going to look for a ridiculous loophole like this, its time to rethink/update your religion.
- inactive, on 06/11/2009, -1/+94So you can trick God now?
- Chesterisgod, on 06/11/2009, -0/+89Wouldn't using your teeth to dial a phone require more work than your fingers? That kind of seems backwards in the sense of the Sabbath.
- hawkspur, on 06/11/2009, -3/+82Lol religion.
- FervinsUlterius, on 06/11/2009, -8/+83You're expecting a religion to make sense? Come on.
- gutistg, on 06/11/2009, -2/+66Exactly. When your system of organized belief in a superstition ALLOWS you to dial a phone with your teeth, maybe it's time to move on.
- judicar, on 06/11/2009, -0/+61.. the *****?
- Ommatidia, on 06/11/2009, -0/+57Yeah, that makes sense.
- TheBigBad, on 06/11/2009, -0/+49If religious doctrine results in you finding a loophole that requires you to dial a cell phone with your teeth in order to use it then your religion has taken a wrong turn somewhere.
- unknownpoltroon, on 06/11/2009, -0/+44I am sure god is a big fan of this finding loopholes in his orders.
- MASH007, on 06/11/2009, -1/+44Well put. Trying to trick God means your already clashing with the religion you pretend to believe in.
- bazacko, on 06/11/2009, -0/+40I really, really want to know the logic they used to arrive at... this.
- wontstoptalking, on 06/11/2009, -1/+40I was really hoping for a video of someone who figured out how to use their teeth to conduct an analog dial up signal for use as a dial up internet modem.
Some Jewish people dialing with their teeth isn't so bad, I guess. - Tanktunker, on 06/11/2009, -0/+37More like since the dawn of mankind.
You think monotheistic religions are the first kind?
"God" has always been a part of human culture. - cam0man, on 06/11/2009, -1/+34LOL. there's a hilarious scene in maher's Religulous about this.....some orthodox jew built all these crazy devices to get around the laws from God. Yea, i'm sure he'd really appreciate you trying to outsmart him by powering some ***** with air instead of electricity or dialing with your teeth instead of just being a good person and being ***** normal.
- Coy0te, on 06/11/2009, -2/+34If God existed he would be laughing his ass off right now.
- Geheg3D, on 06/11/2009, -2/+32PROTIP: It's religion, logic is positively forbidden.
- inactive, on 06/11/2009, -11/+40Religion, Controlling Idiots Since 1842™
- joshmoney, on 06/11/2009, -0/+29Speaking of that, this kinda reminds me of my youth when my Christian friends were out having oral sex so they could "save" their virginity for marriage.
- johnwes16, on 06/11/2009, -0/+25They caddied an atheist "dial buddy" with them at all times.
- inactive, on 06/11/2009, -1/+26It's a silly rule anyway I mean just because god had to take a day off, man isn't allowed to work a 7 day week what are we going to make him look bad?
- HisNoodly, on 06/11/2009, -3/+26It's been several thousand years, and they STILL haven't realised they're being trolled.
I mean, the "Hey, everyone cut the end of your dick off!" thing was meant to be a clue-in, but it went straight over their heads.
4chan, you've been outgamed. - crackhead2006, on 06/11/2009, -4/+25More like since 0
- ahawks, on 06/11/2009, -0/+21This is one of many problems with the ultra-religious crowd. They ignore the "spirit" or intention of their texts and instead follow them letter by letter like they are law.
This particular case obviously stems from the "do no work" on sabbath commandment. Sure, that's a big one. The commandments actually are the laws. But if it says to do no work, surely it isn't just talking about your fingers. - Remmiz, on 06/11/2009, -3/+24I'm such a hardcore hacker -- I used to go outside, splice the telephone line and initiate a dial-up handshake by screaming into the wire.
- jakeshdaddy, on 06/11/2009, -0/+20Dammit!!! I knew my Orthodox friends didn't like me for my personality and unique humor!
- ripple123, on 06/11/2009, -0/+20lol
- Trumpetman4eva, on 06/11/2009, -0/+20better not be with teeth.
- Drahkir, on 06/11/2009, -2/+22Can we, as a rational people, just accept that religious folk are crazy and just move on. Even the most ostentatiously "sane" religious follower still believes, at the end of the day, in: omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, resurrection, telekinesis, etc.
- johnwes16, on 06/11/2009, -0/+19They already did... its called a metal pin. It's in the article.
- Kakaze, on 06/11/2009, -0/+16You should read about all the other loopholes religious jews use to cheat on the sabbath. I just got a new oven that has a "sabbath mode" on it. Basically you turn it on Friday night and it stays on all the way until the sabbath is over, so you don't have to offend god by turning it on during the sabbath to cook food. And all lights and sounds and warnings are completely disabled during this time too. You are allowed to open the door, however, so all you need to do, after letting it run for 24 hours is open it, pop your food in, open it again, take your food out.
- inactive, on 06/11/2009, -0/+15"The Sabbath is on Sunday"
/facepalm
The Sabbath of the Jews is Saturday. - FervinsUlterius, on 06/11/2009, -2/+17So i guess that means oral sex on the sabbath is a go?
- azureskies88, on 06/11/2009, -0/+14More like since humans.
- CeesH, on 06/11/2009, -1/+14A friend of mine lived in an apartment block where every Saturday one of the elevators was turned to 'Sabbath mode'. And no, it doesn't mean that it only plays Black Sabbath musack, it means that you can use the elevator without having to push buttons since the elevator automatically stops and opens on *every* floor...
He was also woken up late an night once by a neighbour asking if he could come over and please turn off the light in their bedroom for them, since they couldn't go to sleep with the light on. I hope they can sleep well at night knowing that they tricked a friendly neighbour into flicking that light switch knowing full well that he will go to hell for daring to offend God by using electricity on the Sabbath. - SpeedSteamBoat, on 06/11/2009, -0/+13I kinda feel like he would be stuck in a perpetual facepalm.
- Misinformant, on 06/11/2009, -3/+15Oh, religion. You really ARE the greatest comedian ever!
- rpgguy1o1, on 06/11/2009, -0/+12the story would have been better with butt sex.
- wassamatta, on 06/11/2009, -0/+12in other news....sabbath observers can also use their kindles but have to use balls and boobs to change pages
- grapesofbaath, on 06/11/2009, -2/+13Another little known loophole is that they are allowed to eat shellfish and pork, but only off the desecrated corpse of a Palestinian.
- charm803, on 06/11/2009, -0/+11They use the same logic teens arrive at when they consider anal sex not to be really "sex" and they can keep their virginity a bit longer.
- rpgguy1o1, on 06/11/2009, -0/+10I don't think you read the article, but I'm still going to digg you up.
- JamesBondQ, on 06/11/2009, -0/+10What had they been doing before this?
- SpeedSteamBoat, on 06/11/2009, -1/+11Religion rarely has anything to do with God.
- jeepster76, on 06/11/2009, -4/+13Now they just have to figure out how to launch white phosphorous cluster bombs over schools with their teeth and they'll be all set.
- qber, on 06/11/2009, -0/+9"Sabbath mode" sounds like an outrageous waste of energy.
- mrfunktastic, on 06/11/2009, -0/+9I want to read the article YOU read.
- ripple123, on 06/11/2009, -2/+10wow. someone invented something to help them do some archaic and stupid ***** they do for arbitrary and illusory reasons. how little i care cannot be put into mere words. not because theres no words available, but because i dont care enough to find them.
- tonytroz, on 06/11/2009, -4/+12The idea of the Sabbath is fine, but I think this would fall under the category of saving lives on the Sabbath. This method still lowers response time.
- mrfunktastic, on 06/11/2009, -0/+8Everything is better with buttsex!
