Ramble Strip

There's no stripping. (Sorry.) But there's rambling, usually in the area of science, politics, pop culture, signs that are irritatingly misspelled, and religion, or anything that happens to be on my mind at the time. I post on study breaks, so that I don't go insane. Insaaaaaaaane!

Jesus Christ has trouble with graven image

You know, I would be too afraid of being struck by lightning to try something like this:

Jesus Christ has trouble with graven image

Jesus Christ is hoping to move to West Virginia, but he’s having trouble getting a driver’s license.

The man is described as a white-haired businessman who’s been using that name for 15 years without a problem. He has a U.S. passport, Social Security card and Washington, D.C., driver’s license bearing the name Jesus Christ.

But he still falls short of West Virginia title and license requirements, since his Florida birth certificate bears his original name. Plus, the man born as Peter Robert Phillips Jr. still hasn’t gotten an official name change approved in Washington.

It makes sense that he would come here - our motto is "Almost Heaven", after all. Ha.

This reminds me of the unfortunate habit that some local parents have of naming their kids after famous people (or motorcycle companies.) So you have some poor kid who has to go through life with the name "Elvis Presley Adkins", "Harley Davidson Johnson", or "Jack Daniels Smith". I'm just kidding about that last one. Maybe.
