* QI
BBC2 program QI was broadcast last night, as I was bored I decided to give it a go. This program is a quiz program hosted by the famous statue kisser, product promoter and scourge of religion Stephen Fry. This man has an IQ in six figures and an excess of intelligence that he uses to earn his living as an amusing personality. I must admit he makes me laugh. This program as well as being amusing is also very informative exposing many misconceptions. Tonight I was astonished to learn that Jesus was really called Mithras and lived in Rome not northern Israel. There's something that Dan Brown missed. "Mithras and Mary were lovers, lordy how they did love, swore to be true to each other, true as the stars above, he was her man and they founded a dynasty of kings" (must work on that last rhyme).
Then we had a good laugh at the Irish, instead of learning to read and write at school they learn such unlikely things as : There was a woman in Ireland called Bridget that had a cloak made out of an acre of cloth! Yeah, try dragging that around. Mr Fry was astonished that anyone could have such a bizarre education.
Talking of aliases we learnt that a man called Bartholomew was shot with arrows but his real name was Sebastian.
There was an American comedian on the show whose expression was that of a man who wished he hadn't dropped that tab of acid before he went on the show. Still one can only applaud Mr Fry's attacks on God-botherers who cause untold suffering to millions. He ploughed into Christians with blows left and right, pinching Christmas off log worshippers, lying about Jesus's real name, pinching Father Christmas off the Turks, no doubt he is saving his attacks on Islam for the new year.
