Criteria for getting into heaven

I was thinking about Jesus' criteria for letting people into heaven. It's nice, and all, and pretty easy - all you have to do is believe. But it doesn't seem a very sensible way of doing it. Any tool or halfwit could believe and get into heaven that way, and really, who would want to spend all eternity with a whole lot of the people who go to churches?

For me it would be something along the lines of - you a fan of Avril Lavigene (or generation specific bad music)? Nope, can't come in.

So I figure either god made a really naff calculation at one point, or there's "Heaven" and then there's "Heaven". One were all people who believe go, there's a few nibble about, some piped music and god/jesus/holy spirit once in a while walks round, gives a few autographs, has a couple of photos taken. And then down the street, there's a door with a couple of bouncers on it and a guest list, and inside there's pole dancers, lots of beer and the bunch of people g really wants to hang out with.

Hero of Canton

Jayne!
The Man they call Jayne!

Oh, He robbed from the rich
and he gave to the poor.
Stood up to the man
and he gave him what for.
Our love for him now
ain't hard to explain.
The hero of Canton
the man they call Jayne.

Our Jayne saw the mudders' backs breakin'.
He saw the mudders' lament.
And he saw the Magistrate takin'
every dollar and leavin' five cents.
So he said: "You can't do that to my people."
said "You can't crush them under your heel."
So Jayne strapped on his hat
and in 5 seconds flat
stole everythin' Boss Higgins had to steal.

Oh, He robbed from the rich
and he gave to the poor.
Stood up to the man
and he gave him what for.
Our love for him now
ain't hard to explain.
The hero of Canton
the man they call Jayne.

Now here is what separates heroes
from common folk like you and I.
The man they call Jayne
he turned 'round his plane
and let that money hit sky.

He dropped it onto our houses
he dropped it into our yards.
The man they called Jayne
he stole away our pain
and headed out for the stars!

(Here we go!)

Oh, He robbed from the rich
and he gave to the poor.
Stood up to the man
and he gave him what for.
Our love for him now
ain't hard to explain.
The hero of Canton
the man they call Jayne.

River Dolphins

I want to see some river dolphins. Anyone up for a trip to the amazon, southeastern South America, the Ganges, Brahmaputra or Indus?

It'd be awesome.
