I’ve always argued that the demonization of Judas never really made sense. Without Judas (or another “betrayer”), Christianity would not be possible. Looks like someone from around 300 AD agrees with me.
Somebody Stole Jerry Garcia’s Pot
(from the toilet humor dept.)
Late Grateful Dead leader’s toilet stolen:
SONOMA, California –The long, strange trip continues for Jerry Garcia’s toilet. Police say the Grateful Dead leader’s commode was stolen recently from a driveway along with three other toilets and a bidet, The Press Democrat newspaper reported Saturday.
Garcia’s salmon-colored toilet was the subject of a legal battle before it was finally moved to Sonoma, to await shipment to a Canadian casino.
It’s unclear if the toilet was swiped by a wayward Deadhead or a thief remodeling a bathroom. Police have no suspects or leads.

Less Futurama News
(via Loopy)
Guys,
I’m sorry I gave inaccurate info on the cartoon.I was told on one end that the TV show was a go but DXC enlightened me (with a hammer) that this was not the case. I think there is a Futurama project as in DVD’s but I appearently had bad info.But I do live to give good Futurama news to people.So I must’ve died or something.
All eyes on the skies,
Billy
