A rather apt format I would say for a subject that requires a mind that is, shall we say lacking in depth. Half of todays' xtians might get a g joke, where as none could understand the original.

"Just BECAUSE.." haha! Very clever and very funny ... also very helpful, if you're too lazy to wade through the Cliff Notes version. Why didn't they have this when I was in high school??

I wanna see this guy do the whole trilogy. On Inferno, I'm sorry he didn't find a way to show the rivers of excrement and the popes in Inferno. Oh well.

Man, 3:42 is too long for me. Is it possible to shorten it to, maybe, 25 seconds? Thanks.
