[kj] Wormwood star / "Asteroooiiddd!"

The Pillar of Salt story, in a nutshell:

So God decides to destroy Sodom (& Gemorrah), but chooses to spare Lot,
Abraham's nephew. Two male angels are sent to Sodom to warn Lot to leave the
city before the brimstone arrives. Lot welcomes the angels into the house,
the male residents of Sodom gather around and yell out for Lot to send the
angels out so they can sodomise them (Genesis 19:5), Lot refuses and tells
them to have their way with his virgin daughters instead. (Genesis 19 7-8).
The angels strike all the would-be gang rapist sodomisers blind, Lot & Co
escape, with the exception of Lot's unfortunate wife, who is turned into a
pillar of salt because she commits the offence of looking over her shoulder
at the fireworks display.

Barking mad. And tells you something about how women were viewed two aeons
ago.

Well, maybe that should be added to the next revision. :)

Personally I've thought that St. John must have dipped into the magic
mushroom bag a couple of hours before the 'revelation', or maybe some
BC version of LSD.

Come to think of it, that would also explain the burning bush and
people turning into pillars of salt .... hmmm ....
