Just in time for Good Friday:

MANILA (AFP) — Philippine health officials Wednesday warned people taking part in Easter crucifixions and self-flagellation rituals to get a tetanus shot first and sterilise the nails to avoid infections. . . .

The department of health issued a health warning advising people taking part in the rituals this Friday to have tetanus shots and to check the condition of the whip they will use before lashing their backs.

It warned that dirty whips could lead to tetanus and other infections.

Meanwhile, in America, millions of Christians pat themselves on the back for giving up Dunkin’ Donuts for lent.

A lack of Dunkin’ Donuts stores in North Dakota and Minnesota might explain the relative lack of Catholics in these states--no DD to give up for Lent.  :^)

Of course, Luterns do the Lent thing too.....
