No Runny Eggs

While the rest of the world celebrates Halloween, Lutherans and most other Protestants celebrate Reformation. On this date in 1517, Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses, a call for a debate on the Catholic practice of selling indulgences for sins, on the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg as well as other items of Catholic dogma, to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Saxony (modern-day Germany).

John 20:1-8 (NIV):

¹Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb ans saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. ²So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!”

³So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. ⁴Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. ⁵He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in. ⁶Then Simon Peter, who was behind him, arrived and went into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, ⁷as well as the burial cloth that had been around Jesus’ head. The cloth was folded up by itself, separate from the linen. ⁸Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed.

- From Fox News, adherents of Islam, the Religion of “Peace”, stormed and torched the Danish Embassy in Syria as part of ongoing protests over a cartoon.  Grow up, Muslims; the presstitutes have been doing that sort of schtick to us Christians for decades.

 - The Journal Sentinel crows about how Wisconsin is the King of the Throne - yes, that throne (so if you have just eaten or are about to eat, please skip to the next segment).  It seems that between Kohler-#1 in toilets, Bemis Manufacturing-#1 in toilet seats, the thickest concentraion of toilet paper manufacturers around in the Fox Valley, and SC Johnson’s Glade-#1 air freshener, we’re the king of all that is crappy.  So next time you see #2 floating in Lake Michigan, take pride that not only did a Wisconsinite (probably) squeeze that particular piece out, and not only that MMSD-The Crappy Water People decided to once again showcase Wisconsin’s competence by displaying their incompetence, but that Wisconsinites had a hand in almost every other step of that process as well.  Don’t say I didn’t warn you

- In the “blind squirrel finds nut” category, Eugene Kane gets something right.  History is history, so it’s time to stop patronizing blacks by setting aside the shortest month of the year as “Black” History Month.  Teach those milestones on the anniversaries of the dates they happened (and find a suitable time for those that happened during the summer).

- The Minister of Defense, Reggie White, is headed to the Football Hall of Fame.  Despite his passing away last year, fellow inductees Troy Aikman and Warren Moon will be looking over their shoulders hearing the footsteps and their blockers flying through the air, and I’ll be hearing Reggie’s gravel voice.

- Fred gives “Badcast” a unique definition.  No, it’s not a putrid podcast (though if I tried it, it sure would be); it’s a Badger-centric one.  Tips of the hat to Aaron and Jenna, and Sean for having the courage to do this.
