Yeah, that's the book.   He curses the family after shoving the other kid. 

[Buster's Uncle]

Yeaaaahh.  Doesn't SOUND quite right, does it?

[Unorthodox]

Guess my knowledge of it makes me a part of the Da Vinci crowd. 

[Buster's Uncle]

Heh.  I'm just very widely read.

[Unorthodox]

I'm betting THAT gets cut. 

You got him making birds, shoving the kid can be handled ok (make it an accident), the rest of it is fairly benign: making feasts from a single grain, teaching stuff, etc.  Lots of resurrecting. 

[Buster's Uncle]

I dunno man.  Somebody slightly  like you who works in shock and offense anyway actually going there and making that evil Jesus horror movie?  Might be very lucrative, because all the free publicity, if he don't get murdered first.

Why has Rob Zombie not already done this 10 years ago?

[Unorthodox]

Rob wouldn't touch that. 

There's a Bollywood movie in the works, though...

[Buster's Uncle]

I could totally pull off evil Jesus.

HE'S BACK!  AND HE'S PISSED!

[Rusty Edge]

Yes, you could!

Hey! Shelves with books instead of dolls!

[Buster's Uncle]

I sat on the floor to get the books behind me.  The dolls are higher up and you've seen pictures of that part of the same shelves.  Note that behind my head are part of two encyclopedia sets - and a copy of Dianatics near my left shoulder.  Family albums by my right elbow.

Note also my AARP t-shirt.  I miss Devil Dog.  Her name was Polly.  -This is funny to people in our community.  -Also, slightly over a year ago, I was driving Geo around, pointed and said "That's the community college I went to.  It's WPCC." (Western Piedmont Community College.)  Lord, did he laugh.

Got to teach my son about encyclopedias earlier this year.  Had a report they couldn't source from internet sources, so took him down to the library. 

"That's Wikipedia before there was the internet." 

"Oooooh, so THAT'S why it's called 'pedia'!"

He was actually surprised how much there was in the book. 

[Buster's Uncle]

I personally own the red set.

When I was a kid and bored, I would actually sit and read through the World Book Encyclopedia - not cover-to cover, just look for what caught my interest, and much did.  The folks got their money's worth.

I used to have the Britannica 3 set, but it got too expensive to keep up with the yearbooks. They didn't make the first move from the house to my first apartment, so probably ended up in the landfill.

Too bad; they were interesting, and got me through a lot of my anthropology classes.

[Buster's Uncle]

Sure; directly useful in education above sixth grade - but I also actually read a lot in there for the heck of it, and now people think I'm smart because I know many things.

But not smart enough to lay off the blasphemy...

[Valka]

I used to use them for more than anthropology (and those were high school and college classes, btw; this was pre-internet days). Years earlier, when I used to babysit the neighbor kids, it was pretty boring after they went to bed. After I'd done my homework, I wanted something to read. They had nothing other than the newspaper (which I read at home), The Hobbit (tried it and got bored inside of two pages), a C.J. Cherryh fantasy novel (wasn't into her stuff yet), and an encyclopedia set.

So I read the encyclopedia.
