From what I hear, those kids you babysat turned into model citizens, a complete 180 from what they initially were.

Hear! Hear!

Oh, and møøselimbs? Here's a tip:

REAL prophets climb mountains to be closer to God.

They don't crawl into holes to listen to the hissings of The Serpent...

True, but some of them are still a little twitchy...

Only when certain things are mentioned.
Never knew that the theme from Hee-Haw could be used to coerce good behavior.
I shall keep it in mind for future use, i.e. nephews misbehaving.

There some interesting things in the photo. The kid looks Indian, not Iranian, but more than that he/she doesn’t seem concerned about the coming punishment. What kid do you know would stay still while their arm was crushed? Their are no guys in robes holding the kid down. The guy next to him isn’t concerned. Also, don’t they cut off the hand according to Sharia law?

Bingo!

Snopes! Urban Legend!

What the photographs actually depict (according to the operator of the site that originally published them) is performers hustling money from onlookers by staging an act, one in which a subject seemingly allows himself to be run over by a heavy vehicle and then emerges unscathed. (Note the man with the microphone in the first picture, who drums up business and describes the action for observers. Also note the blanket placed under the boy's arm not a consideration persons intent on severely punishing a lawbreaker would be likely to provide.) This a common illusion, variations of which are performed by many magicians and accomplished through a variety of means, with no lasting harm done. That the subject is a small boy who grimaces his way through the stunt is all part of the act, intended to elicit sympathy and extra cash despite his contorted facial expressions, the boy is not seriously hurt.

Urban legend. It’s a carney barker trick. But in iran’s case, everyone finds it perfectly believable.

The blanket has supports on either side of his arm, the tire doesn't apply any pressure to the arm.

If it works like a shoe than I would have to agree. My husband once ran over my foot after I was getting out of the truck. The only pain was when I tried to move my foot, realized what had happened and panicked.

Right.

I don't recall ever reading anything about Moses's God (and mine) lurking in a desert cave waiting for a sucker like Mohamed to show up the way Allah's "angels" are said to have done.

Old Mohamed was played for a fool by the fallen angels who he met in that desert cave, and the result is a demon-worshipping heathen religion of hate and death that has been nothing but a horrible plague on many of the earth's nations and people for the last 14 centuries.

But then what else would you expect from old Smutty-face and his demonic cohorts?
