Today’s comic at AmazingSuperPowers is made of all the best stuff. And some salt, I guess.
Their blog is pretty rad too. And sounds almost like a blurb for OMGWTFBIBLE:
The Bible is full of all types of crazy stuff! Did you know there’s a whole story about a dude who built a boat and he put EVERY ANIMAL into it because God felt like drowning everyone? And there’s another story about a dude who walked on water before turning his friend into a zombie? And in one section, it casually describes the END of the WORLD?

Looking at the amount of time since my last post is seriously embarrassing. But real life got in the way.
Nevermind that, I made a YouTube channel! Now, each new episode of OMGWTFBIBLE will be posted on YouTube as an audio-only thingie so you can share it everywhere as easily as possible. And I can embed them here, like I did just now. Wowzers!
Also, here’s a playlist of ALL THE EPISODES!
Sorry, sorry, I haven’t been posting because I’ve been editing Episode 11 and working on a semi-secret project but I couldn’t let this one go. So much stupid. Stupid so hard. Oh my god my brain.

Hey, remember when the Rabbinical Council of California was going to certify lube as kosher? Just kidding!
In a statement on their homepage (screenshot below), the RCC has announced that since “the intended uses of these items as now revealed, was misunderstood,” they will not be certifying Wet lube after all!
RCC’s very slippery lube statement
Um, did they not know lube was for sex?
Wet’s very cleverly-named anal lube
Good news, everyone! After a 2-year process, the Rabbinical Council of California has given kosher certification to a whole slew of personal lubricants from a company called Wet. Because up to this point, observant Jews have been relying on regular old naturally-occuring sex juices and saliva?
Coming on the heels of the recent rabbinical OK of medicinal marijuana, I predict a renaissance in never-ending Orthodox Jewish stoned sex. And just in time for Tu B’av!
You can all rest easy. Finally, finally, an Orthodox Rabbi has declare that marijuana is kosher. Of course, he feels it should only be used to relieve pain, and using it to “escape this world in any excessive way is certainly forbidden.” Well, duh. Nobody should escape the world excessively. Always in moderation.
And, according to Rabbi Efraim Zalmanovich, who made this decree, if you provide cannabis to someone who’s using it to relieve “the pain of being a man” (to quote the late Dr. Johnson), well then that’s a mitzvah. Presumably, if one tunes into Episode 9 right before, that’s a double-mitzvah.
No word yet on whether it’s acceptable to toke up on Tisha B’av.

Don’t Talk to Women
Jacqueline Nicholls’ beautiful paper-cut doilies, called The Ladies Guild Collection, take some of the more obviously misogynist passages of Jewish literature (like the one above) and turn them into works of art. The level of detail in the borders of these pieces is incredible. The entire collection is certainly worth exploring.
Oh, and she’s drawing the entire Talmud one page at a time. Seriously, Jacquline Nicholls is a cool lady. Read her interview on Jewcy.
OMGWTFBIBLE’s second show at Double Wide!
I’m happy to announce that Episode 10 will be happening on July 29 (a little late this month due to the fast day and all) at Double Wide!
This month, I’ll be joined by Ariel Abrahams, a brilliant artist, who’s been exploring alternative approaches to Judaism on his own.
We’ll start with Chapter 13, and I guarantee you one thing: THERE WILL BE STEW.
