April fool's roundup
Yesterday there were plenty of entertaining April Fool’s posts, including these ones:
- Tom Wright to replace Rowan Williams as Archbishop
- A shocking theological doping scandal
- A new Canadian International Version of the Bible
- The discovery of a new manuscript which proves that St Paul was a Pastafarian
- The Episcopal Church named the official denomination of Major League Baseball
- The announcement of a new caffeinated breakfast cereal
- The PC guy assaults the Mac guy
- Google’s helpful new options to search the future and email back in time
- And finally, the best April Fool’s post of the year: IVP announces its stunning new theological carbon-offset initiative.
There are two further rumors flying around in the outfield over ECUSA becoming the official denomination of MLB.
The first is connected with the rumored resignation of Rowan Williams - that he will not leave Canterbury for Durham, rather he will become the Commissioner of MLB. It has also been suggested that he will introduce Sharia Law into the regulations - which will make it tough on base stealers.
The other rumor is that, not Rowan Williams, but Gene Robinson will become MLB's Commissioner. If so, it is predicted that the born-again Colorado Rockies will file a writ for heresy, while it is devoutly hoped that the Yankees will stage a walkout. Personally, I hope that the Atlanta Braves will also leave, making it much easier for the Mets to win the NL pennant (the Philadelphia Phillies too, for that matter, but that is unlikely as they represent the city of brotherly love).
Ben, thanks for the link to the IVP one - I'd missed that. The highlight absolutely has to be the quotes.
