On a recent trip to an art museum, this was one of the paintings Brian and I saw. I commented that it was rather odd looking - both in style and subject matter. Brian took one look at it and stated "Christ the Chickenfighter". I started laughing hysterically, which made him laugh too. Then we had to laugh some more at the way the Christ Child was painted. It really is a strange painting.

That is nothing like Jordan's idea of Chicken Jesus, but now I am reminded of that story. Perhaps I will post it on Jordan's blog...
I forgot about Chicken Jesus! You have to post that story!
