[70/30]

Which more sacred? Which would win one-on-one?

I'd put my money on the Jordan...

It's got a cool song...

My money is on the Jordan, too. The Ganges is an overrated bathtub for the masses which makes it lose a lot of aesthetic value.

prolly right but the ganges does have a certain infectious quality about it that's hard to quell. I hear yayati is muslim but I'm sure he has the best answer on this one.

hard to quell
easy to smell

although I visited the ganges higher up in the mountains, closer to the source, and it was lovely.
not as many peeing cows, open-air laundry services, bathing masses.

That's the point, westerners don't give Ganges the veneration it deserves. Most think it's insane to honor a disease-riddled entity. Maybe I should have included the Nile and the Amazon in the Battle Royale because the Jordan really is a stream of piss.

Bird

Larry would be knocking 3-pointers down left and right

Jordan's got no game when it comes to #33

And i've never even heard of this Ganges guy. What team did he play for?

 

[70/30]

Pretty sure he played for the Brahmans. He had some slippery moves but I agree Bird on a roll would take 'em both down.

I'm as American as they come but I don't hold the US in as high esteem as the others. As the all the great shamans say "civilisation is bad", so the ayahuasca jungle looks like a place to check out. I hope to get out to Nepal sometime and do some mountaineering though. Your threads are entertaining but I don't know enough about your culture to get involved but I'll try to help spread different messages that are so very important.

You said Bollywood? Can I get some at Blockbuster or should I order some online. I'm not black but I did grow up in the 'hood and yeah you get a different perspect there than in those stifling suburbs and monocultured hick towns.

Neither!

The mighty Mississippi, the muddy waters, fed by a vast system of tributaries of which the major ones are the Missouri and the Ohio, home to the "river rats" of the nineteenth century, celebrated by Mark Twain, where Huck and Jim float down that raft in eternity. . .

And the masses don't bathe in it either!

Hey, there's a song about the Blue Danube, too. Before it flooded half of Central Europe.
