This is off topic, but patrons of the Cock & Bull might enjoy the segment of the March 5, 2024 episode of The Daily Show where Ronny Chieng interviews Yuval Noah Harari (historian and author of Sapiens). The part about religion and Artificial Intelligence runs from 21:16 to 22:49. One source of the video is https://www..cc.com/episodes/gb5ko6/the-daily-show-march-5-2024-season-29-ep-14
I went to my first Humanist cremation a few weeks back…far more moving than a religious ceremony. No bullshit, just life celebtation and the fact that the person only lives on as a meme…genes…to…memes….to oblivion…
For those of us who have zero knowledge of Gaelic, what does Whale Oil Beef Hooked mean, postdoggerel? And what kind of Gaelic is it? I don’t want to say it if it will incite a bar fight!
two cents’ worth, it’s kinda like when I was skiing one day in rock hard icy terrain and found myself at a stand still directly above a ski-lift tower on a steep slope, and nothing but concrete hard ice everywhere. I said, out loud, “Goddamnit, I don’t want to be here.” Then, from above, came a voice saying, “Go through it fast.” That made sense, and I am here to recount it. So, about the Gaelic part I can only say I knew a Welsh girl who taught me some of her language. I can recite it verbatim today.
Jesus & Mo (the characters) are absurd, blinkered, and oddly very sweet. J&M (the cartoon) is brilliant: sharp, delicious, irresistible. Salman Rushdie
Jesus and Mo cartoons are wonderfully funny and true. Richard Dawkins
Jesus and Mo make the world a better place, bless their little hearts. Ophelia Benson
In a world defined by outrage and offence and liberal spinelessness, Jesus and Mo is a treasure, whose value we should never fail to recognize. Read them. Laugh. And think. Kenan Malik
The brilliant, celebrated, freaking hilarious atheist comic strip ... Greta Christina
...rays of sanity in a befuddled world. Keri Hulme
The liveliest depictions of Muhammad currently available... Malise Ruthven
J & Mo is the funniest and most consistently thought-provoking cartoon strip on the Net. In a saner world, it would run in a major newspaper. Nelson Jones, Heresy Corner
Consistently amusing, frequently thought-provoking and often heart-warming. New Humanist
Jesus & Mo is one of the most wonderful things on the internet.. JT Eberhard
Wittily captures much of the absurdity of religious apologetics. Mano Singham
I love jesusandmo.net cartoons - witty and sharp! Katha Pollitt
Often hilarious, frequently wry, these cartoons do what all the best cartoons do: they tell the truth through humour. Terry Sanderson, NSS President
...a wonderfully acid British cartoonist... Nick Cohen
I love the scrappy mockery of Jesus and Mo. Freedom of speech
includes the freedom to mock any person, any thing, any activity, and
any belief -- and J&M stands up for this unflinchingly Richard Stallman
...empowering, important and deeply progressive, not to mention hilarious... Council of Ex-Muslims

The ideal setting for a one-frame gag.

Been there….several times…
Very quiet in here the landlord must have called “last orders”…
There is something you can say in Gaelic using four English words. Whale Oil Beef Hooked. Just say them together fast.
Jesus that’s an old un, secondary school 1976….

Gaelic? Well I’ll be fucked then…
