Year of the Rice

Here at the School, we like to keep tabs on notable places of worship that spring up around the web. These people are carrying the faith to new heights: RICE IS LIFE
Excerpts:
– Almost 3,000 million people share the culture, traditions, and untapped potentials of rice.
Three thousand million sure sounds like an awful lot… I think they forgot to carry the decimal when converting from yen or something.
– Even in nations “new to rice”, its cultivation has changed landscapes…
This is probably a reference to the proliferation of lowered Toyota Camrys in nations that know no better (as opposed to those who do know better but lower them anyways).
– Along the Senegal River in West Africa, villagers greet guests with specially prepared rice dishes.
In professional forums, we refer to those dishes as “chrome hubcaps.”
– In short, rice is life.
Amen, brothers.
