	I don't know, but it probably tastes better than a communion wafer.

1. Nobody

is to throw anything, until I blow this whistle. Even if he did say...

[trotsky]

2. Very appropriate to bring this up.

We've had heated discussions about how inappropriate it is to mock someone's religion and antagonize them.

I guess Life of Brian should have never been made, because it sure pissed off a lot of Christians.

3. Halibut is fine

It is the piece of cod that passeth all understanding

[Silent3]

4. +1

You may burn in hell for such puns, but +1 anyway.

5. I had a painting of cod moving in a mysterious way

I think I threw it out in one of my house moves... oh well

7. I though that was lutefisk.

The only suitable thing for the Norwegian Lutheran God.

8. Lutefisk looks nothing like that

Well, it's fish, so there are some similarities, but it is much more white and gelatinous. And gross.

9. I meant that I though it was lutefisk that is the piece of cod

that passeth all understanding. I recognized the halibut in the photo.

10. Got it

High pollen count is making me stupid.

11. Nah. My post left that interpretation open.

No worries. That's just a standard joke here in Minnesota about lutefisk. As a Norwegian by marriage, I have learned to eat my lutefisk when it is set before me. Fortunately, all those people with Norwegian ancestry in my wife's family don't really like it all that much, either. It just shows up around Christmas time as a cultural oddity.

Hardly anyone eats that stuff in Norway any longer. It's famine food for the winter, and has been romanticized here.

12. I grew up in ND

on the Minnesota border, so I'm well aware. My wife had some lutefisk when she was in Norway and said it was much better than what she had here. Didn't really like it, you know, but it was tolerable.

[Silent3]

13. "Tolerable" is the kindest thing I think I've ever heard anyone say about lutefisk.

I've never tried it myself, but the horror of lutefisk is legendary. Even those who eat it, from what I've read, eat it one tiny morsel at a time, smothered in condiments and other food to mask the taste.

Of course, it ain't no casu marzu, but then again, what is?

6. If it's good enough for Dawkins
