Airline to Avoid: “Officials at Nepal Airline have sacrificed two goats to appease Akash Bhairab, the Hindu sky god, following technical problems with one of its Boeing 757 aircraft.”
The swastika article is interesting. I just returned from a business trip to Nagano, Japan, and visited the Zenko-ji temple. A large banner on the main hall has two large swastikas on it, and a large porcelain (or imari) vase/decanter on display in the main yard also has a swastika on it. I did a double-take the first time I saw them.
The author of the logical fallacy site uses an interesting example to illustrate the fallacy of the ambiguous middle term:
"All human fetuses are human.
Any human has the right to life.
Therefore, all human fetuses have the right to life."
The problem is that pro-life people don't use the word "human" in two different senses in this argument. You can argue with the truth of either of the premises, but to call this a fallacious argument is wrong.
