5:13, #630 New Year's Nuggets

Nope...this is not about Chicken Mac's or gold mining or...can't think what else at the moment, but just some random rocks rifled onto the Internet...I wonder about these things:

Is the Philadelphia Mummer's Parade our version of "Lords a-Leaping" of the Twelve Days of Christmas?

Why 'to Hell in a handbasket?' Wouldn't the basket catch fire? Would it be attached to a hot air balloon to get most of the way there? Would the hot air rising from Hell lift the balloon to Heaven by mistake...or God's Providence?!!

Do Atheists have any representative music the way Christians have hymns? Well, Captain Google (a not so new Marvel superhero) found this [http://atheistempire.com/entertainment/music_lyrics.php] for 'Atheist Empire: Atheist Music Guide'

How do you figure out if your 'going up' or 'going down' on the scale and how far you've been, given that Karma reaches perfection in 6,800,000 incarnations, according to Disappointment with God, pg. 200?

Who measured the distance to the sun and how much it weighs, given all the astrophysical material that firmly declares these things 'to be so?' Did somebody stop at Home Depot on the way to pick up some 100' tape measures and an over-sized postal scale?

Howcome Malchus isn't patron saint of Guys with Good Reflexes? After all, he ducked quickly enough when Pete swung at his head with a sword in the Garden of Gethsemane that all he lost was an ear!! Come on!!...You didn't REALLY think Ole Fisherman Pete was just trying to nip his ear, do you?!!

I think I'll end this with one of my questions from some time ago...probably in another incarnation...should all the blazing hot stars of the universe simply be considered 'space heaters?'
Got wonders as you wander?
