"There was kind of an important religious holiday on Sunday, huh?" Biff asked, passing out chocolate eggs and bunnies.

After all, Josh had said that there should be bunnies whenever bad things happened to him. Biff hadn't known someone else had written that down somewhere. Josh had been pretty drunk when he'd said it.

"So let's talk about my best friend, Joshua of Nazareth, founder of Christianity. I, um, missed the thing on the Sunday after the crucifixion, but I was there for everything leading up to it. Rather than lecturing at you, I figured it'd be easier if you asked questions and I answered them. I'll be dedicating a whole class to the apostles, so don't worry if you can't keep them all straight. And I have no idea what's going on with the Catholic Church now, or televangelists, or those stickers asking what Jesus would drive. If you want to know what he was really like, I can tell you that. If you want to know, you know, religion, um, ask the guy down at the church."

Billy who'd gotten off on the wrong foot with Biff was trying to think of a question that might help set that right. "Did he have a favorite joke?"

"The one with the mustard seed," Biff said, thinking about it. "And the other one with the mustard seed. And the other other one with the mustard seed. He was also a big fan of irony."

Billy had never heard the one about the Mustard Seed. "Irony's good." Billy nodded. "The modern dictionary version or the Alanis Morrisette version?"

"The one that's actually irony," Biff said, rolling his eyes.

Billy snickered. "So, tell us the one about the mustard seed?"

Biff shook his head. "It loses a lot when it's translated out of Aramaic."

"Oh, yeah I guess it would." Billy said, surprised. "I'd always thought you folks spoke Hebrew back then."

"Only in Temple."

See? Billy was learning all sorts of new things. "What do you think he'd make of this island? Would anything here have been able to surprise him?"

"It was very hard to surprise Josh," Biff said. "The angel did that first time, but after that? Nah."

"So he wasn't expecting the Angel?" Billy asked. He'd have thought that'd be one thing the son of God would have seen coming.

"It was ten years late," Biff said, rolling his eyes.

Billy couldn't help laughing. "I guess when you've got eternity it's easy to lose track of time." he snickered.
