Books about Jesus

[raven]

General surrealness. I was falling asleep in assembly, when Mrs Mills trotted in with the visitor for today - and Becca dropped her hymn book with a very audible clatter and hissed, "It's him!"
"Who?"
"Giraffe neck! My sponsor! Andrew Lloyd Webber!"
So, finally, I have seen Becca's confirmation sponsor in the flesh. He is a Sunday School teacher, turns up on their doorstep every so often with books about Jesus, because he was Becca's confirmation sponsor. His name is actually Andrew Rice-Oxley, and he is Mrs Rice-Oxley's husband. She, incidentally, is a small grey old Biology teacher with a voice like a vacuum cleaner and a personality to match.
So yes. Surrealness. Giraffe neck is an actual person.

And the surrealness continued, as Becca was complaining about having to learn about plate tectonics as its an unproven theory. I said we still learn about gravity, which has been proven not to exist. Of course she wanted me to explain this, and I ended up having to explain curved space-time and fourth dimensions by way of little illustrations involving grapes in clear jelly. Confusion.

I need to find a book to be reading under the desk in Classics next. Last time, I managed to finish Girl, Interrupted.
