In reply to john bisazza. Don't you know that it is not nice to try and ridicule somebody just because he happens to have more faith than you? I think we should respect the convictions of others and hope they pray for us.

The Romans found a good excuse to spend a day away from work, in the countryside.

I find the Romans’ thinking logical though, unlike that of the Maltese.

When Bendandi predicted an earthquake in Rome, there was an exodus of Romans. When Joseph Muscat predicted an earthquake in Labour, all the dinosours that survived the Earth’s collision with the comets rushed to the party headquarters.

The Italians need a Daphne to kick them into their senses.

Perhaps Daphne has been too quick to ‘despair’. It is just another numbers game. The population of Rome is about 2.5 million-ish and greater Rome i.e. including the closest suburbs is home to about 4 million people.

If 90% of Romans retain basic mental functions and only 10% are, um, one grissino short of a picnic, then one can expect 400,000 people or about 130,000 families to panic and leave. This is roughly equivalent to the whole of Malta’s population. But it only means that the vast majority of Romans have not actually lost their minds. Yet.

Seems strange but an earthquake did happen a few hundred miles away yesterday. I hate these coincidences!

[Daphne – We are in an earthquake zone, that’s why. There are earthquakes round here literally every day.]

Reffaele Bendandi was a few miles out – the earthquake happened in Spain.

You have this misconception that having a large percentage of stupid people in the general population is unique to Maltese people alone. Everywhere else is the same.
