Ricky Gervais Tickets-Philosopher, Musician and Comedian All Rolled Into One!Author: Andrew GoodNow that The Office has gained infamy in America, Ricky Gervais, the brains behind the show's original, British incarnation, has become a household name. But those who have explored past his role in The Office have discovered Gervais is a Renaissance man, having explored everything from pop music to other outrageous comedy shows in the past. Gervais was born in Reading, and attended college in London, earning a degree in philosophy.

The band, Seona Dancing (pronounced "Shawna Dancing"), was named after a mutual friend of Gervais and Macrae. They produced two singles, "More to Lose" and "Bitter Heart," but they struggled on the U.K. charts. Disappointed, the band broke up two years after forming (one of the hits reportedly did very well several years later, in Manila, where a New Wave station began spinning "More to Lose" frequently, even attributing it to a fictitious band so that rival stations couldn't play the track).

Does Islam Oppress Women?By: Same with memorizing short verses, no matter what others says, there's nothing spiritual about memorizing long passages from the Book. It takes patience and determination to pull it off, meaning just about anyone could do it if they wanted to. Talent doesn't come into play here. At least, not as...
