Gweg looked at the credit card in his hand and wondered why the world was against him. Gweg: Can we try it again? Gweg was at a pharmacy...

Rosebud was a Sled

Gweg was sitting on the couch reading Stephen King's The Dark Tower VII, when the Satyr had come back home from the video rental place.

The Satyr was empty handed.

Gweg: I thought you were renting videos.

Satyr: I was, but then I had this brilliant idea.

Gweg: Oh, I can't wait to hear this one.

Satyr ignored him, went over to their DVD collection and started pulling a few out.

Satyr: You see these, these all have "secret endings". Take The Usual Suspects for example, "Verbal" Kint turns out to be covering for Keaton by making up some story about some mysterious bad guy named Keyser Soze.

Gweg: You idiot, "Verbal" Kint was Keyser Soze.

Satyr: Really?

Gweg: Yes, really.

Satyr: Huh, I'm going to have to watch it again. Anyway, I was thinking, we should make a website that has all of the endings to the movies, we could charge a fortune.

Gweg: There are already sites like that and they don't charge a thing.

Satyr: Are you sure?

Gweg: Yes, there is http://www.moviepooper.com and http://www.themoviespoiler.com.

Satyr: Yeah well, be that as it may, we will put down more than just the ending, we will put down our detailed dissection of the ending, it's significance on the movie and of life itself. we will put down exactly what the director wanted us to get from this ending and people will pay for our expertise.

Gweg: First of all: no, they won't. Second of all: you are still trying to figure out the ending to No Way Out.

At hearing this, the Satyr sat down and once again pondered the ending to that movie for an hour. After deciding once again it was a lost cause, the Satyr tried to convince Gweg to go with his idea.

Satyr: Ok, listen. This is my idea on what we would do with, oh let's say, The Passion of the Christ.

Gweg: I don't want to hear this.

Satyr: Bare with me, I watched this movie and I also read the book. I can put down a very detailed report on the ending.

Gweg: Most people know how it ended without even seeing it.

Satyr: That's not the point, you see. The point is, they don't understand it.

Gweg: And you do?

Satyr: That's correct.

Gweg: Enlighten me.

Satyr: After carefull study, I have come up with the only possible meaning to the ending: Jesus was a zombie.

Gweg: Oh my god.

Satyr: Think about it, what kind of creature can rise from the dead? A zombie, that's the only answer.

Gweg: So, according to you, millions of people are worshipping a zombie.

Satyr: Of course not. They are worshipping a figment of their imagination.


And that is our lesson for today kids: Christians are a weird bunch.
