I just came across it on Facebook. Ali is in the center, approaching the entrance to heaven. The aisle, well-lighted, of course, is lined on both sides with gleeful celebrities such as Nelson Mandela, MLK, John Lennon, Michael Jackson, etc. welcoming him to heaven. The comments below the image were interesting. This one is my favorite: “Wow! Stunning photo!” Just wanted to share. mmm ---

You know of an actual photograph of Muhammad Ali entering Heaven and you didn’t link to it? Shame, shame on you. ---

It’s not been on my Facebook wall (I scrolled a long ways) and I didn’t find it googling the most obvious phrases. Got a link? It’s probably shared publicly, so you could just link to the Facebook page. ---

Did anyone mention how odd it would be to have a Catholic, a Protestant and an atheist welcoming a Muslim into heaven? (Edit: Catholic - coulda sworn I saw a JFK in there … fuck it, put him the picture and then reread my post) ---
