As if refusing to say "hello" weren't bad enough, they're actually saying "heaven-oh" instead?
It sounds like a new breakfast cereal. What would Jesus eat?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

What would Jesus eat?
ha! And yet, I find the actual question rather interesting. I bet there are some food anthropologists out there who've answered that one.
Checking The Food Chronology, which I happen to have here at hand, and assuming Jesus's diet was basically Roman, he'd probably be eating mostly bread, barley gruel, olives, wine, fish, and poultry. I recall fish, wine, and bread being mentioned in the Gospels.
This is interesting. Apparently, the Romans loved asparagus and considered a meal sub-par without it, and Roman foodies were all about the artichoke. They also used a lot of spices, and salted *everything*, including wine. Salt was used in the cheese-making process, and to make bread rise, and to preserve meat. I can't fathom the desire to salt their wine, though. I've read elsewhere that they watered down the wine with seawater; don't know if that's true.

You know if there's a public poll that Colbert is going to rally his troops again.
side note: Dear dog, how many times am I going to be fumble fingers on the initial first few posts today?
That heaven-o story is from 1997.
Huh. Oopsie.
That's the second time I've run across a story on PZ's blog that turned out to be many years old....
That's OK - stupidity is eternal.
OMG, look at this adorable wee baby huskies.
