You mean Broomfondle and Magic-Thighs?

Well, ONE of his inaugurations anyway... And if you'd looked more closely, you would have seen it was a copy of Moby Dick.

I'd have more respect for someone who swore on Melville than someone who swore on the bible. At least Melville is almost readable.

I completely disagree. I read an abridged version of Moby Dick when I was younger and I thought, "Hey this isn't so bad! I should just read the original version." Buh-hoy was I wrong.

I said "almost" readable. I have yet to encounter a page in the Bible that offers a moment of enjoyment.

I like all of Galatians. Ephesians is nice. Some of the Psalms are cool. All the Gospels, but especially the opening of John.
And I vaguely remember an Old Testament story from Sunday School where a guy broke into the evil king's bedroom and stabbed him in the gut with a sword. The evil king was so fat that the folds of skin enveloped the sword hilt. The guards didn't know what was wrong with him, and the murderer got away. I have no idea where that's from, but I'm almost positive that's really in the Bible.

Check out Judges 3:12-30

Thanks, adenam! I was wrong about the breaking in bit, but I like that Ehud was able to draw a sword on the guy because he was left-handed and Eglon didn't expect it.
I still have no idea why that story appealed to me so much as a kid, but it did.
