Huh, I had no idea that the Franklin Mint was this old. Nor did I realize that Jesus was merchandising waaaayyy before George Lucas first met up with McDonalds. Man, that guy is so savvy – I guess we can chalk another big invention up to the lord: commemorative coins. If you look very closely, you’ll see “Republic of the Marshall Islands – Not Legal US Tender” inscribed along the bottom – which proves that Jesus himself was involved in the design of the coin. Who else would have known that the United States was going to exist in the year 1000?
Obviously, this is exactly the sort of evidence that the Intelligent Design-ophiles have been looking for…
Speaking of Jesus, funny story from the Depeche Mode concert I went to with the GF last week. As we were waiting for the show to start, she revealed to me that for the longest time she thought the line from Personal Jesus was: "Can you run fast enough, Jesus?" instead of "Your own, personal Jesus". I had a good laugh at that because we then were planning out what the video for her version would look like. For example, Jesus running the 100 meters against Satan (in slow motion, obviously) while the song plays in the background. Or, alternatively, Jesus being chased by the semi truck from "Enter Sandman" - either would work really.
But then, when they started playing that song, I could *totally* see where she got the idea. It was really easy to hear it her way. Go figure.
