Yep, deep underwater...deep in some caverns....where the Mayans dwell afterwards.

Where's my head - oh, it's stuffed with a severe cold.  So mind my lapse, as I did not post that yesterday was the date Malcolm X was assassinated.  Electronic Villager, has a good post.

I read about the man shortly after learning he read the entire dictionary.  Impressive.  Later - a rare and fairly unknown fact about me - I would later take the train from the Bronx to Bushwick, Brooklyn, and participate in classes learning about the Koran, the Old Testament, and the New Testament, basically studying Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.

Yes, I was a  Puerto Rican brother, that embraced  Islam.  A few years later, I sold oils, incense, and books on 14th street by day (actually, I was selling many places before I settled there - even in the subway in Harlem - 125th street), and then on 42nd street between 8th and 7th by night.

My Muslim name was Duma; some of the elders told me I had an 'old soul,' for I was very young and showed interest in learning and practing Sufi teachings.  But, enough about me; this posts is to honor Malcolm X.

This past weekend, it looks like 10Questions became a focal 
point for the same thing that New York Times Magazine column-
ist Virginia Heffernan noticed about the top-discussed video 
on YouTube: the roiling argument over religion's influence on 
society...Votes are appreciated! We have till November 14th 
to get this video inthe Top Ten and keep it there, for EVERY 
presidential candidate to answer our question!! We used to be
in 7th place, but thanks to a church group trying to vote down 
the video, (an email confirmed this)we have been stuck in 13th 
place for quite some time.

This is one of the most interesting and pressing question - IMHO - on 10questions.com  Looks like DIGG agrees as this became their number one topic over the weekend.  Type in 'lunch4lyfe' on 10questions.com.  You have 9 days left!

(Unfortunately, the debate on immigration is no longer in the top 10.)
