Sometimes, on my way somewhere else, I come across something weird or downright bizarre on the internet. I store the URLs in a file devoted to such stuff. Over the weekend I came across this weird stained glass-or-enamel-looking Christmas ornament that depicts Jesus snuggling with an opossum. Gog (and I suspect only God) knows why: > **[Amazon.com: Jesus Christmas Ornament, Jesus Hugging Opossum Ornament, Christian...](https://www.amazon.com/Christmas-Ornament-Christian-Ornaments-Religious/dp/B0HCCJ3JBZ)** > > Celebrate the joy of Christmas with a meaningful Jesus Christmas ornament that beautifully combines faith, compassion, and the beauty of God's creation.

> [@CalMeacham](#): > > weird or downright bizarre Weird or downright bizarre, you ask? I have three words, one of which is the odd one out: “Gay dinosaur porn”. Yes, GG renderings of gentlemen getting jiggy with a male tyrannosaurus’ cloaca. (many years ago, long before you could just tell an AI to fulfill your specific fetish, so not only did someone have that kink, he created a number of images… and shared them for all mankind) Rule #34 "There is porn of it. No exceptions.”, sometimes rendered as “If you can think of it, there is porn of it”. ---

(many years ago, long before you could just tell an AI to fulfill your specific fetish, so not only did someone have that kink, he created a number of images… and shared them for all mankind) Another possibility is that someone had that particular kink and hired an artist to depict it. I have artist friends who did some of this. The customer would send incredibly detailed descriptions of what he was looking for, sometimes with photos or clippings illustrating what he was after. You can learn a lot about human psychology from this stuff. Of course, now there’s AI, so anyone can arrange to get anything they want. Although I’ll bet that a thorough search of sites like DeviantArt is likely to turn up something close to what you might be after. ---

I also have to point out that “weird” is not the same as “porn”. The “Jesus Hugging an Opossum” in the OP is definitely weird, bt certainly not porn. ---

Gog (and I suspect only God) knows why: Well, opossums are known for “playing dead” and, according to the Bible, Jesus played dead until Easter Sunday. Perhaps that has something to do with it. ---

Yesterday I saw a Facebook post about someone finding a copy of _A New Star Trek A_ (volume three) self-published (on loose-leaf with a staple in the upper left corner) by Gary Wayne Stevens [![](https://i.ibb.co/Q7Hp32PW/FB-IMG-1788213562007.jpg) ](https://i.ibb.co/Q7Hp32PW/FB-IMG-1788213562007.jpg) I read [his website](https://www.thestarshipdesigner.com/). A sample: > Question: Do you believe in the existence of God? > > If you don’t, then you are stupid, and get off my website! > > For those who do; question: Does God have a mind? > > I think you will agree that He does: He thinks, He makes decisions… For these things, a person needs a mind. > > Question: Does the devil have a mind? > > If you don’t believe the devil exists, then gain some smarts, you stupid person, the devil has fooled you. ​ ---

Whoa that’s a treasure trove. After the weird donut story and the Virgin club thing, I found this poem: "Why were you never there for me, woman. I kept waiting, did you not see. Why did you never show up, woman. I kept waiting for you to come. Why weren’t you there for me, woman. Or did you think me only a bum. Why did you only give me a glance, woman. Why did you never give me a chance." I can hazard a guess. ---

Jesus had no fodder. He’s his own fodder, since he sired himself. Sure there’s a Devil. Didn’t Jesus come from a deviled egg? Fodder & Son, but the Holy Ghost is not fantasy. Pardon me while I vomit on the planet. ---

I watch a lot of videos of Japanese garage bands. This led me to watch some Japanese go-go dancer videos. For about a month the YouTube algorithm flooded me with videos like the following: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/_dgLddv0VBw/maxresdefault.jpg "Where do you think Avantgardey will go?🌞 ⚠️Don’t miss Avantgardey live!🚨 #avantgardey #アバンギャルディ") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dgLddv0VBw) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/weird-things-youve-stumbled-across-on-the-internet/1032715.md?page=2)
