Ha. Nate Send a noteboard - 01/11/2011 10:14:25 PM

In event of an attack by many people dressed as Jesus, for instance, one might say "A bunch of Jesus Impersonators" as one might say Elvis Impersonators. And I think cloning Jesus, even if His DNA were available, would probably be blasphemous, and thus not a matter for serious discussion


Perhaps, "Look at all those individuals who are genetically identical to Jesus!" You never can tell what mischief an alternate reality will get up to.

It's so weird trying to explain Halloween to people who didn't grow up with it beetnemesis - 01/11/2011 02:26:52 PM 705 Views
For a sec I was gonna go into the specifics for you... Dannymac - 01/11/2011 04:32:18 PM 333 Views
But its always just been an excuse to make a fire on the top of a hill. Stephen - 01/11/2011 05:32:57 PM 321 Views
Yup. I know there are various pagan origins, but honestly, fuck'em beetnemesis - 01/11/2011 08:17:12 PM 321 Views
I'm not going to do a history lesson, but... Isaac - 01/11/2011 09:22:59 PM 351 Views
What would you say is the proper plural form of Jesus? Nate - 01/11/2011 09:51:31 PM 357 Views
Claudii is an established plural, actually. Legolas - 01/11/2011 10:02:52 PM 417 Views
I want to reread Lamb: The story of Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal now beetnemesis - 01/11/2011 11:38:26 PM 419 Views
Jesī *NM* Praziquantel - 01/11/2011 10:06:29 PM 197 Views
Minor addendum: it seems to be a defective fourth declension. The plural should still be Iesūs. Tom - 01/11/2011 10:44:08 PM 317 Views
Ah, interesting. Praziquantel - 02/11/2011 10:22:37 AM 295 Views
The source? Any good Latin grammar should do. *NM* Tom - 02/11/2011 05:06:31 PM 131 Views
Also, a massive number of names follow 3rd declension. Tom - 02/11/2011 05:30:16 PM 253 Views
He is singular in nature Isaac - 01/11/2011 10:08:43 PM 345 Views

I thing attempting to discuss the plurality of Jesus precludes any serious discussion Stephen - 01/11/2011 10:41:01 PM 289 Views
Well, Zombie Jesus seems a legit matter for theological discussions Isaac - 02/11/2011 01:03:38 AM 268 Views
Lots of Mexican guys in one room could still be "Jesuses". *NM* Tom - 01/11/2011 10:47:03 PM 104 Views
So is it Jesūs, Jesii, or Jesuses then? Isaac - 02/11/2011 01:04:58 AM 266 Views
Well, in English I'd assume it's Jesuses. In Latin it would be Iesūs. Tom - 02/11/2011 01:06:09 AM 288 Views
As I mentioned above, the Latin plural would not be Jesi, but Jesūs. Tom - 01/11/2011 10:46:18 PM 272 Views
maybe his name is a plural anyway *NM* Yunalesca - 01/11/2011 11:13:03 PM 132 Views
Halloween isn't a Christian holiday, at least not originally. Tom - 01/11/2011 10:26:58 PM 339 Views
I was giving the abrigded version Isaac - 02/11/2011 01:01:07 AM 256 Views
Oh, well of course not. Tom - 02/11/2011 01:08:33 AM 278 Views
I know all of this, and care not. beetnemesis - 01/11/2011 11:37:12 PM 252 Views
Again halloween is a world thing, not US property Stephen - 02/11/2011 12:01:25 AM 280 Views
Not according to the Defense of Halloween Act of 1997! We own all IP rights and residuals. Tom - 02/11/2011 01:12:22 AM 294 Views
I honestly wasn't making it a US thing beetnemesis - 02/11/2011 02:43:59 PM 337 Views
Pagans and Satanists care a great deal about religion around Halloween. Tom - 02/11/2011 01:10:42 AM 293 Views
All Saints' Day is huge in New Orleans, as well. Lots of replastering and whitewashing cemeteries. *NM* Ghavrel - 02/11/2011 02:14:40 AM 116 Views
Thanks, Isaac ßelals Girl - 02/11/2011 03:08:14 AM 281 Views
Isaac - 02/11/2011 03:34:26 PM 253 Views
LMAO! That's great! *NM* ßelals Girl - 03/11/2011 01:24:09 PM 114 Views
Pet Peeve: Halloween isn't a holiday...its a celebration *NM* Jeordam - 01/11/2011 10:00:35 PM 130 Views
US Halloween is neither... Jacob - 01/11/2011 10:08:10 PM 317 Views
It seems internationally understood from what I can tell. Tom - 01/11/2011 10:48:02 PM 309 Views
Aren't morbid celebrations to ward away spirits pretty common throughout the world? *NM* Ghavrel - 01/11/2011 11:20:45 PM 131 Views
That's not what Halloween is in the US, though. Not anymore. *NM* beetnemesis - 01/11/2011 11:34:27 PM 116 Views
But Halloween isn't the property of you guys. Stephen - 02/11/2011 12:00:11 AM 279 Views
I honestly wasn't making it a US thing beetnemesis - 02/11/2011 02:50:08 PM 312 Views
