    Default When I think Jesus, I think samosas.

    Please add this to your "What the hell?" list if you have one.

    They're serving them up at mass instead of communion wafers now.

    They're Lent approved.

    I can only assume that the Last Supper also included some lamb vindaloo.

    So that's what happened to the Lamb of God?

    OTOH, it looks like the real reason is because they were selling them with rotten meat instead. I sometimes wonder if reporters just make this up....oh wait.

    Well, everything about the meat was bad, including the way it had died, so it actually was un-Islamic. However, I see the story breaking like this....

    "They're--they're banning samosas!"

    Really? Why on earth would they do that?

    "I'm not sure. Let me check. 'Blah, blah, blah...You'll be punished...un-Islamic...Blah, blah, blah....'"

    Wait! Go back!

    "'Blah'?"

    Before that!

    "'Un-Islamic'?"

    That! That bit! So, that means they're somebody else's, right?

    "No?"

    Sure it does! There's always conflict around this kind of thing!

    "The Jews'?"

    That won't sell. That's been going on for ages!

    "Well, they could be Christian samosas...."

    Brilliant! How do we back that up?
    So, I'll whisper in the dark, hoping you'll hear me.

    Now I'm imagining a sitcom about Muhammed and Jesus running an Indian restaurant ...

    Read the article again. Looks like rotten meat was being put into them by local cooks. So it's a public health issue, not a religious one (not that I hold any brief for mad mullahs).

    I blame the Huffpost for updating the story. What's with the real journalism? They're a blog site for Christ's sake.

    We live in a world where fake-journalists have more journalistic integrity than a lot of the real ones.

    That's all very well and good, but what does it have to do with whether or not Old Man Abraham will let Isaac take an after-school job at Jesus and Muhammad's House of Godly Curry?

    That's just what I asked the Archbishop of Canterbury last week!
