While I am not one to quote from the bible (I’m still recovering from the nine years I sepnt in Catholic school), I couldn’t pass this up:
And [Elisha] went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.
And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.
2 Kings 2:23-24 :: King James Version

whoa,
i didn’t know you went to catholic school. i’ma baptist but still a nice guy, as you know.
In that verse the the children were trying to see a miracle (as many are today) asking him to ‘go up’ like Elijah did a few chapters earlier. But hey don’t mock the bald man just in case i’m wrong.
Hey Scott, thanks for the additional info on the passage! I’m obviously taking things waaaay out of context, mainly so I can pretend that I may one day have the power to call she bears to rain vengence down upon those who mock me. ;)
