Ancient Method of Pasteurizing Grape Juice Discovered, Vindicating Abstainers

Archaeologists Uncover Pasteurization Techniques That Leave Teetotalers and Baptists Feeling "Grapeful"

In a groundbreaking archaeological find, researchers have discovered evidence that ancient civilizations were pasteurizing grape juice thousands of years before Thomas Bramwell Welch claimed the title in 1869. This revelation has sent shockwaves through the teetotaler community, leading to a collective sigh of vindication among abstainers and Baptists alike.

The ancient method, dubbed "Grape-ology," involved boiling grape juice to halt fermentation, a process that reportedly began when early wine enthusiasts accidentally left their grape juice unattended and it transformed into something "weirdly tasty." Historians speculate that the ancients, realizing they could avoid hangovers, opted for the unfermented version, leading to the first known grape juice parties—sans the drunken debauchery.

As news spread, teetotalers celebrated with non-alcoholic grape juice toasts, declaring, "We were right all along!" Meanwhile, Baptists are reportedly planning a reenactment of the first grape juice communion, complete with ancient costumes and a strict no-wine policy.

Experts warn, however, that while the ancient method may have been effective, it lacked modern marketing finesse. "They didn’t even have catchy slogans like ‘Grape Juice: The Holy Sip!’” quipped one historian. As grape juice sales soar, Welch's may need to rethink its branding strategy.

Pride: Remembering Sodom & Gomorrah

Sodom and Gomorrah: The Original Pride Parade Gone Wrong As the calendar turns to June, rainbow flags and glitter will soon blanket city streets worldwide to celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride Month. But before you head out to party, let's take a moment to reflect on the very first recorded Pride parade that didn't go quite as planned - the ill-fated cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. For those rusty on their biblical history, Sodom and Gomorrah were neighboring municipalities around the Dead Sea renowned for their hospitality and...other proclivities. When two angels visited the cities incognito, the residents rolled out the welcome mat in a manner that would make modern swingers blush. Lot, a seemingly chill dude who just wanted to mind his own business, tried to protect the angels from the amorous townsfolk. But despite his pleas to "not act wickedly," the cities' citizens continued to pursue their unconventional interests with gusto befitting their reputation as the original ...

To Protect Last Political Allies from Trump, Biden Pardons Pilate, the Sanhedrin

Critics Say Presidential Clemency 2,000 Years Too Late In a shocking twist of historical revisionism, President Biden has issued a last-minute presidential pardon for Pontius Pilate and the Sanhedrin, effectively settling a 2,000-year-old legal dispute. The unprecedented move comes as Biden clears his presidential desk, seemingly determined to resolve theological legal matters that have been pending since the first century. "Sometimes, you've got to wash your hands of ancient history—literally," Biden reportedly quipped, making a clear reference to Pilate's infamous hand-washing gesture. The pardon documents hilariously cite "administrative oversight" and "bureaucratic complications" as primary reasons for the belated legal clemency. Religious scholars and historians are bewildered, with one anonymous theologian remarking, "Well, that's one way to end a presidency—by retroactively solving a crucifixion controversy." The White House pr...
