 Could the clothes you buy determine your weight? 
                          A new $3.2 million H-Net/Fritz Media study has revealed 
                          a very significant statistical correlation between the 
                          purchasing of clothing in XXXL sizes and obesity, and 
                          a corresponding correlation between purchasing sizes 
                          M and S with low body weight. Perhaps most surprisingly, 
                          the study found that people used to purchase XXXL clothing, 
                          but have since switched to purchasing smaller clothes 
                          sizes are also very likely to have lost a lot of weight. 
                          So the next time you go shopping, you may want to head 
                          over to the petite section, even if they'll need to 
                          use a forklift to get you over there!

                          Brick Testament: Jesus's 
                          Teachings
 
   Our 
                          lord and savior Jesus Christ is best known for getting 
                          himself killed 
                          by the Romans and thereby somehow granting us eternal 
                          life, but it's a little known fact that he is also considered 
                          a world-renown moral teacher. No less an authority than 
                          US President George W. Bush once named Jesus as his 
                          "favorite 
                          political philosopher". Today The Brick Testament 
                          launches a new section of the website devoted to illustrating 
                          Jesus's Teachings. It's called, appropriately enough, 
                          The 
                          Teachings of Jesus. Sunday

                          checks himself before wrecking himself
 Following the advice of 
                          a concerned and vaguely threatening peer, Rev. Smith 
                          today decided to take a moment out of his busy schedule 
                          to check himself before wrecking himself. "I was 
                          skeptical at first, not having realized that I was on 
                          a path to self-destruction, but I now feel extremely 
                          fortunate to have taken the time to examine my recent 
                          behaviors and motivations, making changes where necessary 
                          to better myself."
