The undercard had two fiery locals with classic stand-up skills.

The big Galilean weighed in for the main event, evincing no repsect for his opponents, but predicting the contest would go the distance. He was known for both power and footwork, with a right hand next to his father. Could he regain the glory of his father, the all-time great?

But the Romans went to the body early and the Galilean corner had no cut man. He was out in the 6th.

But the sign of a true champ is coming back and we're sure to hear more from the son of a legend.

Three blondes died and are at the pearly gates of Heaven. St. Peter tells them that they can enter the gates if they can answer one simple question.

St. Peter asks the first blonde, "What is Easter?"

The blonde replies, "Oh, that's easy! It's the holiday in November when everyone gets together, eats turkey, and are thankful."

"Wrong!," replies St. Peter, and proceeds to ask the second blonde the same question, "What is Easter?"

The second blonde replies, "Easter is the holiday in December when we put up a nice tree, exchange presents, and celebrate the birth of Jesus."

St. Peter looks at the second blonde, shakes his head in disgust, tells her she's wrong, and then peers over his glasses at the third blonde. He asks, "What is Easter?"

The third blonde smiles confidently and looks St. Peter in the eyes, "I know what Easter is."

"Oh?" says St. Peter, incredulously.

"Easter is the Christian holiday that coincides with the Jewish celebration of Passover. Jesus and his disciples were eating at the last supper and Jesus was later deceived and turned over to the Romans by one of his disciples. The Romans took him to be crucified and he was stabbed in the side, made to wear a crown of thorns, and was hung on a cross with nails through his hands. He was buried in a nearby cave which was sealed off by a large boulder."

St. Peter smiles broadly with delight.

The third blonde continues, "Every year the boulder is moved aside so that Jesus can come out... and, if he sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter.

Personally I think this should be in Humor, but I'll have to admit that it's certainly not upper fora material.

Oh well, I enjoyed my day reading my copy of Antichrist and playing all sorts of amusing games. I'm still bitter about missing the Pierce the Savior contest though. What am I supposed to do with this 80 meter long lance for a whole year?

I haven't seen much of this in the modern age, other than Jim Jones. Gee that didn't got to well did it...
