Ok, first off, I think this is sort of amusing...
But the question I have isn't so much "Do we really want to think of a soccor player as the step-dad of Jesus" (or even "UM, who the FUCK says Bush is a 'wise man?'") but instead:
Why, exactly, is Jesus's step-dad wearing not one, but two crosses some 30 years before Jesus is hung up on one?

I sort of like that.

But... I believe this falls under the category of "opaque British humor."
Next thing you know, they'll be wanting us to conjugate the Latin verb "eo, ire" for "Romans, go home!"

Posted by: Matt on December 13, 2004 01:46 PMAfter the financial success of The Passion, Mel Gibson bought the Pacific island of Mago from a Japanese hotel chain. It might seem extravigent and maybe a little selfish, but he was just following the biblical injunction:
14 And the Lord said "go ye and buy yourself a tropical island with palm trees and all that good shit.
15 "For those that love the Lord shall bear the mark of the really bitchin' tan.
16 "But those pasty Goth types I shall cast from my sight; for in my Father's house there are many mansions, but no pancake houses."
Gotta love the apocrypha. ;-)
Posted by: Greg on December 15, 2004 02:12 PMThere are no pancakes in heaven? O_O How can it be heaven without pancakes? Pancakes are heavenly! At least, the way my Dad makes them. Perhaps they're waiting for my father to become the patron saint of pancakes before they can open a celestial pancake house.
