Imagine their surprise when researchers discovered recently that the New Testament is actually almost 2000 years old! “We’re really confused by this. If it’s so old, why is everyone still calling it ‘New’?” says the head researcher of a team of experts.
According to the press release, the organization involved in this research has come up with a detailed report offering suggestions for dealing with this problem.
Highlights include:
- The New Testament will now be called “The Old Testament.”
- The Old Testament will be called “The Even Older Testament.”
They have also begun a search for books that ought to be included in the “New New Testament.”
Note: This is another installment in my ongoing series of April Fool’s posts because I’m so ticked that when I was kidnapped by crazed Albino nuns no one even cared…
I kind of noted that you had been captured by the nuns, but it’s been a long time since I saw the movie . . . and I knew I wasn’t quite getting it . . . and so I did what some people do when they feel stupid. I kept my trap shut
. Not for lack of concern however. It’s just that . . . you know. . . I care about you and all . . . but me not looking quite so stupid . . . you know . . . just kind of took precedence.
Shucks, you’re nice.
The researchers must have missed my announcement of the New Revised Word of God.
