Is weird how stuff all seems to link up coincidentally. Like we had a Turkish themed Eurovision party -Ukraine totally deserved to win but how the fuck Germany came in the top five I have no idea- Anyway, so I did some research about Turkish drinks and Raki seemed to be their national alcoholic beverage (aniseed flavoured paint stripper) however, it is also known as lion's milk (aslan sütü)so I was all like, aha, Aslan as in the lion from the Narnia books by CS Lewis. So I was relating this (I thought) interesting bit of information to a friend and went to on to say that apparently when the whole Harry Potter phenomenom went down book sellers or movie producers or whoever were trying to think of a way to piggy back the Narnia chronicles on to the money train but they wanted to get rid of the Aslan character because it was too Christian. So we sort of chuckled about that. Then today I find this.(via)

Also Ah he ha he ha he!
I particularly liked the disclaimer:
"Fret not, ye red neck Baptist preachers. My wife Elizabeth, and Mary, my daughter, are in full submission to Christ, our Editor in Chief and to me, their pastor."
