Little known fact: Judas betrayed Jesus because Jesus was a Duke fan and Judas was a Butler fan. March Madness was a tough time for the disciples. OK, I made that up :) I like to think that Jesus was filling in his bracket for the 2010 NCAA Basketball Championship.

Brilliant! Switching the two words. I think that they must have lifted it from one of Bob Dylan's sketchbooks.

Or so, I like to imagine this is what He wrote. It adds a bit of genius to the situation, not that Jesus needs any more genius. He is the fulfillment of the word! <br/><br/>Anyway, I also find myself with a bubble complex. My great uncle actually created the donut making machine. He worked for a dough producing company, that wasn't making enough money because at the time, they were making too much dough and didn't have a way to turn the dough into donuts fast enough! Oh the travesty. So my snazzy engineer uncle was commissioned to create a machine to produce donuts out of their dough recipe much faster than just man power alone. These machines were patented under the dough company sadly, because he had some ridiculous contract, and received zero profits from his glorious creation.<br/><br/>Just imagine, without that contract, he'd still be making tons of money from every Krispy Creme donut shop! And he didn't have children, so who knows, we might have gained in the profits! Ah well. It's still a cool claim to fame! <br/><br/>Yes, I'm related to the guy who made the nation of the USA obese. What a claim to fame. hahaha You know, I bet that Jesus was drawing this illustration in the sand just before His famous quote, “He who has not sinned may cast the first stone”.

I spent many years as a Little Church-Goer always curious as to how we got across when we reached the middle! Do we climb over? Is there a rope or elevator hidden within the top of the cross? I can't imagine how this has gone unnoticed by millions of people. This is a major flaw in the design. thank you Ryan!
