inquiring minds want to know.

nAiLeD iT. in case the short answer of *because he was nailed to a cross and crucified* isn’t enough, a certain israeli researcher, one professor benjamin brenner, is challenging the 1986 journal of the american medical association assertion that jesus died from a fatal loss of blood and in an article in the journal of thrombosis and haemostasis (come on, you know you have a subscription) theorizes that it was a blood clot, a pulmonary embolism, that killed jesus christ. well, i don’t know about you, but i'll certainly sleep better with that nagging question finally answered.

( i wonder if the next time i find myself in church the nicene creed will be amended to “crucified under pontious pilot, which resulted in a fatal blood clot…”)
