    If you mold it from Wonderbread then you only need to say the magic words and you have the real thing! To make it perfect you can get a tasty bottle of blood from the local off-licence.

    Thieving from Bill Hicks: “if Jesus where here, he’d probably have an Uzi on him. Don’t you think he would? ‘The prince of peace is back! But he’s pissed off!'”

    I don’t know who wrote that product caption, but that’s clearly a mortar, not a “rocket launcher”, despite the superficial visual similarity between mortar shells and RPG rounds. /pedant

    Note that the ad for this says :

    “Includes projectile bombs with depleted uranium tips.”

    That sorta sounds a bit illegal and very unsafe for the kiddies (well and everyone else!) to me!

    I’m guessing its not really tipped with depleted uranium though so . false advertising suit anyone?

    Depleted uranium plastic. ‘Cos it’s light, see?

    And the hero looks rather bored to me. Not enough to do the last 2000 years? Or just P-d off to return as a toy boy? Well, he could have been a 12″ pianist.

    Yes, that’s a mortar, not a rocket launcher. Since mortar rounds follow an arcing trajectory there wouldn’t be any point in putting depleted uranium in them; it’d decrease the range.

    BTW, depleted uranium is toxic and, as a toxin is illegal to put in a weapons payload; it violates various chemical weapons agreements. The US military interprets them as not applying, of course, and used it heavily in Iraq. There are a lot of reports of problems caused by toxicity (but they don’t match what you’d expect so I largely discount them) – still it’s disturbing that the US military would field stuff like that without any international or public discussion; it just “sort of happened” because the boys in the pentagon had the toys, they used them on the first poor bastards who stuck their hand up.

    That looks a whole lot less Norwegian than most Jesus depictions I’ve seen. Maybe Dutch?
