Many thanks for giving us the 12 ays of Kitchmas again ![[Yipee]](graemlins/spin.gif)
We had fun criticising the list of "Heroes of Science" ornaments list. There are some obvious biases there.

I actually liked the Dick Dawkins earrings. Not sure what that says about me - I just think they are interesting, dangly earrings.

While in Launceston (Cornwall) today, I visited a retro/kitsch shop with lots of interesting and fun items, including this holy holy water bottle, which 'redeems parched sinners'; this Divine Inspiration Hand Sanitiser (cleanse thy hands from the Devil's dirt) and a Benedictaphone (which I seem to recall has been featured here recently).
So if on holiday this year (especially if in Cornwall), look out for some fun Gadgets for God to take home with you.

I'm getting a great kick out of these. (follow the arrows, many more)
My dad and a friend years ago did something similar, only much less artistic. and not even a little reverent.

A few weeks ago I sent something I'd seen to the GfG part of the Ship, and haven't heard anything since. Any idea who looks after that, and how long it might take to process?

I was actually given this for Christmas by one of the Sunday School parents-it was a lovely thought and I'm not ungrateful, even though let's just say that this isn't the sort of thing that I'd usually adorn my house with. What I find particularly disturbing is that it looks like a tombstone. ![[Ultra confused]](graemlins/confused2.gif)

I spotted this Christian Zombie Killers Handbook whilst browsing an online book shop. 'Fraid the reviews deter me from parting with my own cash to review it.
I has me wondering what if there was a Zombie outbreak on board the ship? Could be hard to deal with given the confines. Can a pointed argument sever the Zombies brain stem like a head-shot?

Rather bizarrely, a Christian FB friend who normally posts endless pictures of cute puppies, interspersed with "Footprints" and "Jesus is the Reason for the Season" posted a link to it on FB. I strongly suspect she didn't actually realise what she was posting, just saw the word "Christian" and hit "share."
She has teenage children at school, so it would have shown up on their FB feeds too - my daughter is friendly with her daughter and she (my daughter) was ![[Projectile]](graemlins/puke2.gif) at the idea that her friend's Mum would post a link to Christian sex aids on her FB page.

Well they have done it for wine, they have done it for wafers so now we have the grape juice dispenser. There must be fewer at these teetotal raves (sorry) communion as while with the wine it is 250 per minute this only does 40.
I wonder how much the Welch's sponsorship is.
