King Saul Complains of Illness After Failed Hit on David

אני חולה

In a startling archaeological discovery, researchers have uncovered what appears to be an ancient tweet from King Saul's personal papyrus scroll. The message, roughly translated from ancient Hebrew, simply states: "I'm sick."

Experts believe this tweet was posted shortly after Saul's botched assassination attempt on his rival and future successor, David. "It's remarkable how little has changed in 3,000 years," noted Dr. Ima Ginary, lead archaeologist on the project. "Leaders are still using social media to garner sympathy after their nefarious plots go awry."

The discovery has sparked a flurry of memes across the Israeli blogosphere, with one popular image showing Saul lying in bed, surrounded by get-well scrolls and a "World's Okayest King" cup on his nightstand.

Political analysts are drawing parallels to recent events, suggesting that perhaps some modern leaders could learn from Saul's brevity. "At least he kept it short and sweet," quipped one commentator. "No long-winded explanations or blame-shifting – just a simple 'I'm sick.' It's almost refreshing." Others, however, are attempting to link this tweet to a larger complaint against the Priests of Nob and the rest of Gibeonites, whose demands of retribution would be carried out against his descendants.

When reached for comment, with the assistance of a descendant of the Witch of Endor, the ghost of King Saul merely sighed and muttered something about "kids these days" before disappearing in a puff of ancient smoke.

Piper Rebukes Driscoll, Defends Stripper Sword-Swallower

Piper Defends Male Strippers from Driscoll, Says Faith is "Erotic to the Core" MINNEAPOLIS, MN - In a surprising turn of events, prominent evangelical leader John Piper has come out in defense of male strippers, arguing that their profession is a valid expression of Christian spirituality. The controversy began when fellow pastor Mark Driscoll condemned male strippers as "ungodly" and "a threat to the moral fabric of society." Driscoll's comments sparked outrage among some in the Christian community, including Piper, who quickly rushed to the defense of the much-maligned exotic dancers. "Mark Driscoll clearly has a very narrow and repressed view of human sexuality," Piper told reporters. "As I've said many times, the Christian faith is erotic to the core. God created us as sexual beings, and that includes the male stripper." Piper went on to cite the "Song of Songs" as biblical evidence that God delights in human sensu...

Border Patrol Sends Steven Anderson to Armenia Over Misunderstanding

When Your Theological Flex Gets Lost in Translation Original image is Public Domain, courtesy of the United States Department of Homeland Security BORDER PATROL CHECKPOINT, AZ - In a bizarre twist of theological proportions, Pastor Steven Anderson's latest encounter with Border Patrol agents took an unexpected turn when he attempted to evangelize his way through a routine checkpoint. When asked about his citizenship, Anderson reportedly launched into an impromptu sermon, declaring, "I'm a citizen of Heaven, brother! Let me tell you about the Good News!" As the bemused agent tried to detain him, Anderson proclaimed, "You can't detain me! I'm free to believe because I'm Arminian!" The agent, mishearing the theological term, immediately sprang into action, shouting, "Armenian? We've got ourselves an illegal!" Chaos ensued as agents attempted to deport the protesting pastor to Armenia. "I said Arminian, not Armenian!" Anderson...
