"I Know I Don't Really Belong..."

SO to-day I read the apocryphal Biblical text of Joseph and Asenath and you should too because it is awesome and hilarious. And Asenath's cleansing ritual involves being COVERED IN BEEEEEEES, because God is a troll.

It's days like this that I'm really happy to be a religion major.

You and my old Texts and Traditions teacher at school would have definitely gotten along. He never pointed out anyone being COVERED IN BEEES, but he would digress about the most amusing things that were (sometimes rather loosely) connected to what we were looking at.

.... The only Asenath I know is Asenath Waite and having that understanding of this post makes everything ABOUT A MILLION TIMES BETTER. Well, worse. But better.

Covered in bees, you say? ;)
