Bible Note: Kalos, according to the unexpurgated annals of "The Decline and Fall of Just About Everybody" St. Judas of Iscariot (he who drove a chariot to the Marriott with his wife Harriet) was the former mayor of St. Louis, not Chicago. You may recall a little ditty that was written in his dishonor: "Meet Me in St. Louie, Judas." It was on the Ides of March, Judas went to see the Arch; his horses ran wild and plunged poor Judas' chariot in the Mississippi River; the chariot capsized and Judas was baptized. But Judas was not the mayor of Chicago. That was the thief. The Annals have no baptismal records on him. --Hank |
