LOL Catholics



Followers of ancient Middle-Eastern resurrection cults are so funny! But please, enthusiastic Catholics, take note:

Health officials in the Philippines are asking -- no, "strongly advising" -- Catholics taking part in Easter self-flagellation rituals this week to first check the condition of their whips before lashing their backs.

Authorities worry that dirty whips could lead to tetanus and other infections, according to a report in the Manila Times newspaper Wednesday.

"We are not trying to go against the Lenten tradition here," Health Secretary Francisco Duque III told the newspaper. "But this advice is important to make sure that no one will land in the hospital due to tetanus or other infections that penitents might get in the process."


Christianity: not at all wacky!

Wow. If only they were as open to condom usage to protect against HIV infection. But I guess that's different, huh?

My whip is as clean as a whistle.
And we all know how clean whistles are.

Lenten tradition!

It's like when someone from the Royal Navy talked about Navy tradition and Churchill said, "Royal Naval tradition is rum, sodomy and the lash."

Enjoy it with someone you love.

Digitally locating a man's prostate

Like with Google? Or a GPS device? Or is their some other sort of mobile digital prostate finder I haven't found yet?
