Super Rabbis
In this time of economic apocalypse and global pandemics, I can’t help but wonder what life would be like if the comics I grew up with were real. Would the current insanity over American healthcare be solved by Batman? Would Superman stop global warming?
But alas, we live in a world where no such extraordinary beings exist. Or do we? Imagine my delight as I found the headline ‘Airborne rabbis fight off swine flu’ parading on the BBC News website. Could it be true, that these men of God have finally been rewarded by their deity for their hard work and been given the twin gifts of flight and mass inoculation?
No. It turns out that a bunch of religious fellas have taken to flying above Israel (in planes, not under their own power) and, um, praying and ringing some bells.
According to the article;
The flight’s aim was “to stop the pandemic so people will stop dying from it,” Rabbi Yitzhak Batzri was quoted as saying in Yedioth Aharanot newspaper.
I’m sure that will work mate, but just in case, you’re stocking up on Tamiflu, right?
