So Joshua (Jesus's "real" name, according to...well, you'll see) and his best friend Biff are tracking down the wise men.
The third is a yogi, who is teaching Joshua all kindsa good stuff, like how to multiply rice and how to get into wine jars (he has trouble on the exit, though, and tends to have to have the wine jar broken to free him).
Biff has hooked up with a...well, a hooker
and she's schooling HIM in the Kama Sutra.
Since neither can learn from the other's "teacher," they share their info, like so:
Joshuah: The Katha Upanishad sayeth:
Beyond the senses are the objects,
and beyond the objects is the mind.
Beyond the mind is pure reason,
and beyond reason is the Spirit in man.
Biff: What's that supposed to mean?
Joshua: You have to think about it, but it means that there's something eternal in everyone.
Biff: That's swell. What's with the guys on the bed of nails?
Joshua: A yogi must leave his body if he is going to eperience the spiritual.
Biff: So he leaves through the little holes in his back?
Joshua: Let's start again.





Get thee a copy of "Lamb, the Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal" by the splendiforous Christopher Moore.
It's most seriously FAN. FREAKING. TASTIC.
I shitchoo not.
K, just one more. Biff is allowed to copy drawings from the Kama Sutra as he writes down the stories. So then this happens (remember, "Joshua" is Jesus).
"Your drawings are getting better," Joshua said. In the first one i thought she had a tail."
"I'm using the calligraphy techniques we learned in the monastery, only using them to draw figures. Josh, are you sure it doesn't bother you, talking about this stuff when you'll never be allowed to do it?"
"No, it's interesting. It doesn't bother you when I talk about heaven, does it?"
"Should it?"
"Look, a seagull!"
You feel me, reds? This is some funny and also thought-provoking and quite touching stuff.
Read it.
