Biff was in the Danger Room, which was set up as hot, dark, desert town, sipping on a huge mug of coffee as the class arrived.

"Though they've fallen out of favor now," Biff said, "at least on this world, the major religion that dominated my time was a polytheistic one. The Romans had gods -- and graven idols -- for everything. We Jews have just the one. Um, God, not graven idols. We didn't do well with graven idols. I was told by a Phoenician that we wouldn't worry so much if we had more than one god, but he also told me that he'd screwed a turtle, so I'm not really relying much on his spiritual guidance."

He leaned against a pillar. "Your task today isn't to decide if there is a god, or multiple gods, and it's certainly not to rant at me about whatever wrongs you feel religion has inflicted upon you."

He waved a hand towards several giant statues of Apollo. "Your job today is to circumcise that statue of Apollo before the Roman centurions catch you."

He grinned. "It's a religious experience. Really."

"Also alright. So, you ever circumcise a god before?"

Ami? Bright red. "Um. no. Have you?"

"Nope. First time for both of us. You want to be lookout or the er, moil?"

"lookout or what?"

"Moil(sp?). It's the guy who does the circumcisions."

~~moel~~ "Oh, I see. Um, you can do that part i think..."

~~Thanks!~~ "Got it. Billy Kessler, Ninja, Amateur Archeologist, and Moel, at your service." He eyed the statue critically, and positioned the chisel and hammer. "And apparently sculptor. Or possibly Sculpture Editor."

"I would think vandal" Ami murmured as she kept her lookout.

"That too." Hey as crimes went, Vandalism was pretty minor really. He began to chip away the excess skin.

"do you um, actually knwo what you are doing?" she asked, again keeping an eye out.

"Not exactly." he admitted. "You just remove the very tip right?"

"I have no idea... but." she pulled out her mini-computer and booted it with a net connection "I can look it up"

"How did we ever get along without the internet?"

"I am not sure. I have always had it." Ami said simply. "HEre, wikipedia." She pulled up a picture.

"Wikipedia has a picture of circumcision?"

"Well, it has a picture of um, the final product, and a description."

"Well uh, I'm pretty sure I already know what the finished product is supposed to look like. Well as an adult anyway." He looked at the picture anyway. "Okay."

"It's a statue. Maybe it's different."

"I'll just," Billy chipped at the statue. "Make it more, uh, rounded I think."

"Um ok. All you." Ami was blushing pretty much continuously now.
