What's that thing on Mount Ainslie?

A beer tent for Jesus: water into beer in 10 seconds flat!

The lord he worketh in mysterious ways…

Actually bonfire you’re incorrect.

The one in the place that accepts ex nazi’s and great train robbers is the biggest, Dili is the 2nd biggest and Lisbon is a sorry third biggest one in the world.

This is possibly because the one in Lisbon was actually built first, and the Portugese then went on to colonise different places around the world, building bigger and bigger ones wherever they went.

Last rumour I heard was that they were going to build the biggest one in the world right in the ecumenical capital of Australia, that’s correct, TOOWOOMBA QUEENSLAND. Right in the bible belt of absolute weirdo’s that place is.

Other Toowoomba claims to fame is they have the record for most submissions to funniest home video (quite frankly I find that one surprising given that SA has so many weirdo’s with cameras), and it’s the amphetamine production capital of Australia.

Church, Drugs, Home movies, and Zealotry ? All part and par of normal life in that place.

If you want a good laugh, check out the Jesus tent of miracles: http://www.tentofmiracles.com/jesustent.htm

They have an interesting adaptation of how to cleanse your sins – walking on hot coals. Ok we stole it from the natives, but now it’s christian doctrine ok ?

It’s also funny the story of how they managed to buy the tent. Apparently God is a grants programme these days…

Actually, I wish to retract my earlier comment about a Stanhope statue: it’d only end up becoming a target for terrorism! 😉

Maybe we could save money and buy a Jesus and just replace his head for Jon’s.

Then again, it would be ironic to save money whilst building a tribute to Stanhopism…

theres one in dili and lisbon also.

giant jesuses on hilltops i mean.

they are all identical.

That’s funny as hell Evil, I can just see the comrade, arms outstrecthed, allowing all to bow before him…

Maybe the crane’s up there to erect a 100m high concrete statue of Jon Stanhope to add a little touch of Rio to Canberra. 😉

Maybe they’re putting baskets on top.

I just stepped outside again and it does look like a crane is doing something to the lamp…it might well be the terrorists stealing our lights for their own purposes…perhaps they want to get some bright lights near ESA to help the others find it.
