Hebron, Israel: Biblical archeologists announced last week that a new book of the Bible has been found on a preserved scroll in a remote cave three kilometers from the current site of Hebron, Israel.
"Fascinating material," pronounced American Benjamin Tandelli, the lead excavator. "Clearly a dark vision, apocalyptic in tone, full of despair and doubt, and lyrical in trusting the grandeur of God. It seems to me a worthy companion to recent discoveries of biblical era material, such as the Gospel of Judas and other secret texts."
Tandelli's enthusiasm was brought to a screeching halt two days later when the unnamed scroll was identified as the Book of Habakkuk, which is already in the Old Testament. ....

Last Sunday, I was a little stressed. OK, a lot. For reasons not having to do with my family.
Had a brisk and grumpy conversation with my husband on the way home from church. At one point, we're figuring out breakfast prep, and have a conversation about bacon.

And he responded, "Well, no. I was just thinking about bacon." Via The Ironic Catholic
