Just a couple of notes

Makerere University is one of the most prestigious institutions of higher learning in Africa, and I can see why, they have a five-legged cow. Not only is this thing one of those cool Ankole style cows, with horns so big they would make a Texas cattle rancher soil himself, but it has a fifth leg attached to its back. Nice.

This thing is so badass.

Wicked!

Now I'm no advocate of monotheism, organized religion or anything like that but I must say the Baha'is really have good thing going. The Baha'i faith is a religion that sprung out of Persia in the mid-19th century and has since garnered a reasonably large following world wide. There are only six Baha'i temples in the world (one for each inhabitable continent), including one in Uganda. I was quite impressed with their vision. Check it:

• They call for followers to abandon all forms of prejudice.
• Assure women of full equality with men. (apparently the only religion to do so!!)
• They acknowledge the relativity of religious truth and the need for the individual independent search for their own truth. (yes!Yes!YES!)
• They want to do away with the extremes of poverty and wealth and work toward universal education.
• They believe in educating the curious rather than forceful missionary work.
• Recognition that true religion works in harmony with reason and the pursuit of scientific knowledge. (Wow!)

A house of worship for a faith of a higher caliber.

If I was prone to believing in a supreme being and all that I think this would be my faith of choice, but I'm not so I will have to remain unaffiliated but appreciative.
