Tim Blair, my Hero

Not only did he come up with these hilarious follow-ons to the What Would Jesus Drive campaign:

Why would Jesus drive?
a) To get out of the house for a while
b) To spread the holy word
c) To test newly-installed aftermarket cams, valves, and nitrous kit

Where would Jesus drive?
a) Along a scenic coastal road
b) On the path to righteousness
c) Anywhere with lots of exits so he can ditch the cops

How would Jesus drive?
a) At a speed commensurate with prevailing light and road conditions
b) With pureness of spirit
c) Threshold-braking deep into corners, nailing every apex, power sliding out of hairpins, and only changing up once He's hit the rev limiter

What would Jesus drive over?
a) Only animals already killed
b) A celestial carpet of unimaginable grace
c) Romans

What driving music would Jesus choose?
a) Adult contemporary
b) Heavenly choir
c) Zeppelin, early Stones, maybe that latest Garbage CD

How would Jesus counter persistent high-speed understeer?
a) By consulting a mechanic who specialises in handling problems
b) Through the power of prayer
c) Increasing roll stiffness, dialling in two turns


But also, teise lines about the Australian nuclear reactor:
AUSTRALIA HAS only one nuclear reactor, despite this country possessing the world's most sparkly and powertastic uranium. It's a tiny plant, relative to big electricity-generating reactors in the US and Europe, and exists mainly as a medical research site. Of course, the Greens and others want it closed down.

Sanity has defeated them, and the reactor is now undergoing a $320 million upgrade. A competition is being held to find a name for this radioactive wonderland.

My suggestion: Isotopia.


Memo to Tim: I fed you filet mignon. Must you persist in making the rest of us look bad?
