From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2005-05-28:
"Such themes are universal, but they differ widely from earlier epics such as Homer's Iliad or Virgil's Aeneid, in which the heroes arrive fully formed. Christ's attraction is that he is part human and part divine, both vulnerable and powerful. Just like Luke Skywalker." -- Leader, The Guardian, Saturday, May 21, 2005(submitted to the mailing list by David Bergman)
[And a reminder to certain irreverent friends: this coming Sunday is not "dead-guy-on-a-stick day". Sunday is "dude-where's-our-corpse day". Today is "dead-guy-on-a-stick day". If you mock, mock properly!]

Just goes to show...
Reminds me of the Monk episode where he reassures a very confused woman a a graveyard that said graveyard is very well run and that the people who are buried there stay dead, just like they are supposed to.
Re: Just goes to show...
Shadow thought of the touch of Laura's lips, bitter and cold. "No," he said. "Not as long as they stay dead, anyhow."
Jacquel turned and looked at him with dark brown eyes as quizzical and cold as a desert dog's. "They stay dead here" was all he said.

It's properly referred to as a Christcicle.
