Religion This Just In: Crucifixion Carries “Health Risk”

Christ, Who knew?
Health officials in the Philippines have issued a warning to people taking part in Easter crucifixion rituals. They have urged them to get tetanus vaccinations before they flagellate themselves and are nailed to crosses, and to practise good hygiene.
Health officials also advised that nails be disinfected before use.
Wow. Just, wow. Who wouldn've thunk it?
They should have also advised that hemophiliacs should avoid this activity!
The Penetentes are secret sect who practice crucifixian in New Mexico. I guess an egg hunt just isn't exciting enough for some people.

"Christ, who knew?"
Well, Christ knew, for one.
Oh, come on now, don't you know blood poisoning just makes the crucifixion more holy?
If only Jesus had followed those simple suggestions, he might still be around today...
Man, I thought I knew people who were into some serious edge play, but suspension bondage by one's piercings has got NUTHIN' on someone who gets their jollies being NAILED to a CROSS.
