How Many Holy Grails?

How Many Holy Grails?

Quote:They all say they’ve got the Holy Grail. So who’s right?


Quote:And then you enter a special chapel or museum, where the holiest of items resides. Behind a glass case stands the stuff of legend: the Holy Grail.
Or is it? What makes this cup the Holy Grail – but not another?
In Europe alone, there are said to be around 200 cups, each thought to be the Holy Grail – the cup used by Jesus Christ at the Last Supper.



200 cups at one dinner?  Perhaps jesus was a drunken sot.

Well, that would explain a lot. But in one Avengers movie, Capt America complained that his metabolism was so fast, he couldn't drink enough to get drunk.    Maybe Jesus was like that.  LOL!

Maybe there were multiple sittings of the Last Supper???

A wise man proportions his belief to the evidence.

Or a cagey businessperson. Drink a sip from each of 472 cups, then distributed them worldwide to advance his "brand".

Great practical effects in that scene. The final shot where his hair was growing out was filmed in reverse -- someone was pulling the hair inward so it got shorter on the dummy head, pushed the eyeballs into place, etc., then running it backwards it looks like he's decaying.

Great, can't watch that the same way now. Stop ruining my suspension of disbelief. Aggravated

Maybe scrawl "Jesus" on it, like Fuckface does with his buildings?


Of course, "Jesus" couldn't use Latin since that had no "J" before the 1520s.

He could have used Greek but who the hell can read Greek?

I love how many foreskins there are of Jesus circulating. Let’s think about that one!

It's easy. Lizards regenerate and Jesus had multiple foreskins. Thus Jesus was a lizardmen.

Wake up sheeple.  Panic
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.

Poor Jesus…being god he must have continually regrown his foreskin only to have it wacked off again and again.

And since this is all before DNA analysis or even blood typing, how did they know?  Of course they didn’t..it was a simple grift for pilgrims to make donations…just as the holy grails, the pieces of the cross and the nails used to hang him….all of which have multiple copies…including enough pieces of the cross to build about five of them.

They're all just pieces. Jesus was just the name Priapus took after converting.

Priapus from a fresco in the House of the Vettii in Pompeii.

Our guide suggested the point of the fresco was that "it's worth its weight in gold."
