And all Jesus had when he died was a couple of ladies visit him. This is getting out of control.


I always thought that his death was insane. The son of God, son of man... I always figured the made a weak effort to save him. I mean, what other time are you saving it for? Hiding out of fear at a pivotal moment like that, on the cross is pretty bad.

I've seen lines at Great Adventure that were longer... ;)


In seriousness though, I wonder what the ratio of native Italians to travelers are. Some of the shots we've been getting of the inside of the Vatican have been jaw-dropping. The art and architecture are stupendous.

I'd want to sneak down into the basement. Some cool artifacts down there.

Now see if I were a terrist, I'd strike right about..... here. Millions that can't move quickly, a few suicide bombers scattered throughout detonating at random intervals, some tear gas to shake things up. There'd better be security created by God himself to oversee it all, or hopefully nobody's thinking of striking such a rich, ripe, overwhelmingly public target[/cartmandrools]

*eternal pessimists untie!*

Um not 100% sure I understand what you wrote, but isn't jesus' death sort of critical to the bible?

What would the point of trying to save him have been?

yeah, it's critical and what he wanted. But, I just mean, if the most important thing to you is threatened, to the disciples; Jesus, wouldn't you risk your life to defend it? And most of his followers stayed in hiding at his death.

The Pope's funeral is going to be in the USA?

If you wanted US forces to intervene, you'd contact the CIA, silly.

Actually, J2Cool, there is an account where Jesus is saved. It was contained in a letter to Alexandria supposedly written 15 years after the crucifixion which was discovered in 1870. Written by an essene it is called the Crucifixion by an Eyewitness. I dont feel like derailing this thread by discussing what the letter contained in detail, but if u want to read it, here it is online.

And heres some analysis of it.

I think this was to fufill a prophecy in the old testament or something.

Yes, I've been there and it is indeed jaw-dropping. I'll be going back some day...not now though! I can't be bothered to stand in line for half a day just to see a dead person.

If i was a terrorist i would hit that shit up. No seriously why hasnt anyone thrown anything at the pope or anything? Thats what i would do. I wanna be that trouble maker in the crowd of people.

Too much to get over there though. 4 grand to fly out from San Fran for 3 days.

The wait from the bock of the line till the inside of the cathedral is 6-8 hours long. Is it that long in Disneyland?

Some friends of a friend were out partying Saturday in celebration of the Pope's life. They dubbed that night "Popeapalooza 2005" and proceeded to get smashed and spread cheer.

So they decided to celebrate the Pope's life by partaking in one of the seven deadly sins (gluttony), eh? Sounds like a good plan. ;) Did they seal the deal by having lascivious sex while listening to death metal? :D


(this is all in jest-- I don't really care how your friends celebrated; after all, it's the thought that counts. I just found the irony amusing :p)
