Holy water and Jesus discs...

I've just been watching a great old favourite of mine, the wonderful Eddie Izzard, doing his "Circle" stand up show.

The randomness of Eddie's brand of humour's not to everyone's taste but the research alone involved in his biblical gags is incredible. The title of this post is a reference to one particular skit about the Pope - how come only he and Batman travel in a vehicle which is named after them? The Pope, says Mr. Izzard, also has a "Robin" like helper who can take out the bad guys with the aforementioned items...lovely image.

The show also provides the audio for what is clearly a work of Oscar winning potential genius: The Death Star Canteen...
