What would Jesus Eat?

Great article in THE WEEK last week under Health & Science...

so why is this post title about Jesus?

ah this is all so great.

"Super-Sizing the Last Supper"
"The modern struggle with portion control may not be simply a "modern" thing. A Study of 52 different artist depictions of The Last Supper (from all different times) indicates that serving sizes have been marching heavenward for 1,000 years."

Using computer technology, researchers analyzed and compared the actual food on the table- in front of Jebus - in 52 different paintings of The Last Supper between the years 1000 & 2000. (Including da Vinci, Rubens, El Greco)

and Get THIS:
"Relative to the size of the disciples' heads, the loaves of bread grew 23% over the millennium; the main meal grew by 69% and the plates themselves grew 66%."

I could be wrong but doesn't that book...the one that says this even happened to begin with... um... Bible? yea that's it...
ah hem...

Doesn't the bible say they had only BREAD and WINE????

Google search some last supper photos/paintings... fish... fruit... lamb...
WRONG!
bread and wine only amigo.

I could make this post about the health and diet parallels - like The Week did... but... I'm more interested in other things.

like...

... maybe in 2050; Some distant relative of Salvador Dali will paint The Last Supper with a Super Sized Coke and a Big Mac. Now THAT'S advertising...

who's got the number for McDonald's Corporate division? I'm gonna make a fortune.

(a fortune off of Jesus, just like the church. Yay...blasphemy)


Large Hadron Collider

Who remembers this?
anyone?
I'm really not a big science nerd but I do...

This thing... in Geneva...
Called the Large Hadron Collider (rad) is like a tube that smashes particles together in an effort to recreate a small scale Big Bang. it's some 17miles long - underground ring that costs $10BILLION to build.

What i remember about it was that people thought it was going to create a black hole in Geneva and suck us all in.

Guess what!?

it didn't.

Yup that's all I care to say. People freak out over the silliest things.

Some "Thanks"

Usually when a child of America makes the decision to join the military we support them and when they die we honor their sacrifice.

anyone disagree with me yet?

good.

So here's a great little article.

in 2006, Mr. Albert Snyder was holding a funeral for his son, Cpl. Matthew Snyder of the United States Marine Corp.
When some Anti-Gay activists decided to appear and make known their opinion on the Dead Marines sexual orientation.
These "activists" were members of the Westboro Baptist Church, - their leader Fred Phelps was present as well - they brought along signs reading "God Hates Fags" and "God Hates the USA."
DURING the funeral Mr. Fruit Loop Phelps preached that "the soilder's death was God's punishment for America's tolerance of Homosexuality."

Albert Snyder (Marine's Father) sued Fruit McLooperson Phelps for infliction of emotional distress, and won $5 million.
...great right!?!
well.
That ruling was then overturned, and Phelps then counter sued to recover court costs winning $16,500 against Snyder.
This was in federal court!
A Federal appeals court ordered the father of a Marine killed in Iraq to pay the court costs of an anti-gay activist who picked his sons funeral.

Really America?
Land of the freedom of speech, home of the brave enough to die for our country and then have your father pay 16,500$ to some fools who cried "Homo" at your funeral.

Dad Won't Pay.
and I say... good! Don't pay that shit Poppa Snyder! Don't fuckin validate their crazy.



on the RIGHT is Mr. Snyder. to the left is his lawyer.

Hope for Disaster

Dear President Obama,

You're like a pretty smart guy. You're well spoken and you've risen above historical impossibilities. I voted for you.

ok, so all the nice things out of the way now right?

I did NOT vote for Offshore drilling.

You said "To sustain economic growth we're going to need to harness traditional sources of fuel even as we ramp up production of new sources of renewable energy."

How about you take the X,000,000$ million dollars being spent on disrupting our clearly unstable earth (earth quakes much?)
and put ALL that money into renewable energy creating VAST jobs ON American soil? Hm? THAT might "ramp up" production.
if we put that kind of money into these programs ... jobs will be created and energy will be mass produced in a way that is less harmful to our fragile environment/ecosystem.

That was the hope that I voted for... and if this is the path you're taking I don't see much "change" from the previous administration.

I don't think you're being guided by Biden like Bush was by Cheney, but I've been wrong before... I thought the whole Tiger Woods thing would blow over. Whoops.

In conclusion, I am impressed with the way you handle the majority of the shit that Bushy boy left behind for you... however this is your first DOUCHE stamp from me... I hope it bites you in the ass.

Divine Intervention?

For years India and Bangladesh have been arguing over who owned the uninhabited island in the Bay Of Bengal.
New Moore Island in the Sunderbans is now No Moore Island.
Thanks to ... (well it must be real now) GLOBAL WARMING!
It has COMPLETELY sunk into the ocean.
By which I mean sea levels from melting ice caps have risen so much that there is no longer New Moore Island.
and there is also no longer a dispute.

Mother Nature is one funny bitch.

Cross it off girl...

Flordia.

Be proud.

this week one of your own made my day.

"Good week for Crossing one off, after a Flordia woman explained that she robbed a bank because Bank Robbery was on her "bucket list." "I think everyone should have a list of things they want to do before they expire," said Patricia Edwards, 51, from jail."


um... RAD!
