Yep...
Didn't you notice Jesus scrawling "redrum" across the walls?

The principal sources of information concerning the life and ministry of St. John the Baptist are the canonical Gospels. Of these St. Luke is the most complete, giving as he does the wonderful circumstances accompanying the birth of the Precursor and items on his ministry and death. St. Matthew's Gospel stands in close relation with that of St. Luke, as far as John's public ministry is concerned, but contains nothing in reference to his early life. From St. Mark, whose account of the Precursor's life is very meagre, no new detail can be gathered. Finally, the fourth Gospel has this special feature, that it gives the testimony of St. John after the Saviour's baptism. Besides the indications supplied by these writings, passing allusions occur in such passages as Acts 13:24; 19:1-6; but these are few and bear on the subject only indirectly. To the above should be added that John thrusted into the room and screamed HERE'S JOHNNY whilst thrusting an axe, but it should be remembered that he is woefully erratic in his dates, mistaken in proper names, and seems to arrange facts according to his own political views; however, his judgment of John, also what he tells us regarding the Precursor's popularity, together with a few details of minor importance, are worthy of the historian's attention. The same cannot be said of the apocryphal gospels, because the scant information they give of the Precursor is either copied from the canonical Gospels (and to these they can add no authority), or else is a mass of idle vagaries

Yes, and then alas, someone fought the ax out of his hand and chopped his head off with it. Do you think they tripped when they were walking around with John the Baptist's head on a platter? I wonder if it went rolling down the steps or anything. Maybe they played kick ball with it.
I'm just not right.

LOLz
[edit]
I vote for Tony S's answer - clever bullshiit is always wrapped in copious amounts of 'facts'.
I'm a bit disappointed more fundies didn't come to the party.

No, but someone burst into his room and used an ax to chop his head off.

He-he! No, I don't think so but I can picture it! You don't go round the countryside eating locusts and wearing a coat of camel fur without a little psychosis!
