Lots of death threats get sent over the internet. But frankly, Timm, I'd happily serve as a character witness for you if anyone ever accused you of doing those sorts of things.

I tell ya- after the exhibit was over, they were planning to slice up the statue so people could have a taste of the Body of Christ. Maybe that's why the Catholics (of which I was once) are so mad-- realizing the hotel's Communion would kick their Communion's ass. Stale wafer? Or chocolate? Which do you think is closer to a taste of Heaven?

Though right now I'm praying to God that I won't yarf up everything I ate tonight (note to self: do NOT follow movie popcorn with two glasses of red wine).

GR: hope you don't get too sick! That reminds me of the time I went on a liquid fast for 5 weeks for losing weight. So on New Years eve...I treated myself to 8oz of wine and a small bowl of popcorn.....spent 4hrs walking around cuz of the "spins"

i'd rather have the chocolate...you weren't supposed to chew, so at least the chocolate would melt so you don't choke.

Oh my God(dess)- if you haven't read the comments on the link I posted, scroll down. Some of them are hilarious. Highlights:

"I guess a Jesus made entirely from Peeps would be unacceptable?"

"Unacceptably delicious."

And:

"Do you think Chocolate Jesus had a caramel center or peanut butter??"

"If you made a white chocolate statue of Jesus with a liquid cherry center then you could use a toothpick to add the stigmata yourself."

I only wish I were that clever... now I'm sick to my stomach AND envious...

Yeah, but being a Libra, it'll take me forever to decide on one...

Can we start a thread for your avatar and include ones we think would work for you? Would be a fun thread.

Great. Now I'm envious of your dinner conversation, too. And that's one of the deadly sins, right? (Envy, not dinner conversation) Man!
