Did Jesus Say 'I Feel the Need for Speed'?

When I am on a vacation and see a map with a diagram on it, I like to try and capture the corresponding view depicted. Here is a sign from Canyonlands near Moab, UT.
















And here is the actual canyon depicted on the map. It looks like they did a pretty good job.










Eat for $4 a day? A book says that is possible. And you can get that book for free. Go to the link in the article and grab it.

Have you been looking for a good Bible-themed wax museum? If you live close to Mansfield, OH, go check out BibleWalk. Mary, Joseph, Jesus, John the Baptist, Solomon. I think they are all there. But wait! There's more! Tom Cruise is there. John Travolta. Steve McQueen. This museum has recycled wax figures of Hollywood stars into characters of the Bible stories. You can see a few photos in the article.

On the subject of celebrities, did you see that Shaq thinks an in-his-prime Michael Jordan would beat in-his-prime LeBron James? You can see his comments here. He chose someone else, though , as his all-time favorite player. Who? No spoilers here.

Did you see that courtroom sketch of Tom Brady last week?

















Or what some people did to it?















The web has other examples of Brady-fied art (Mona Lisa Brady, anyone?). Anyway, this past Friday night, Jimmy Fallon used it as part of his periodic sketch of Thank-You Notes.
“Thank you, courtroom sketch of Tom Brady, for showing us what it would like if Tom Brady deflated himself.”

And here are a couple more from that night.
“Thank you, the media, for complaining about how much coverage Donald Trump gets in the media. If only there was something you, the media, could do about that.”
“Thank you fancy gyms, or as I like to call you, James.”

Sure, the last one may not be that funny (and the audience didn't think so, either), but that is part of the challenge for those who use humor in their daily lives. Hopefully, this comic will be funny. It is to me.












OK, whether that was funny or not, the fun of today's blog post is coming to an end. I'll be back soon with more fun-ness to share with you. Have a Wonderful Wednesday.

Steve McQueen works alright as a random character in a Biblical panorama. Tom Cruise as Jesus? Not so much. He better stick with Ethan Hunt.
