This is a bit of a tangent, but I figure DF players might get a sadistic little giggle out of this...

Not only was Jesus given vinegar to drink, he was given vinegar to drink via a sponge on the end of a stick.

Why, do you think, would the Romans have gone to the trouble to tie a sponge to the end of a stick for this purpose?

Well, sponges on the end of sticks were available for public bum-wiping usage in Roman latrines, and were kept dunked in vinegar to keep em 'sanitary'. They used one of THOSE sponges.

Just sayin', I'm not usually sympathetic to the usual song and dance about Our Savior's suffering... but poo-wiper-vinegar? That's pretty sadistic.

*crosses self* ;-)

Even giving plain water would be cruel, as it would keep the crucified one alive for longer.

hmm, it looks like vinegar is the new magma.
