My brother-in-law got married on 25 July 2015 and on his wedding speech referred to a 'cross-shaped' molecule as proof of Jesus. What is the truth?

Good grief. Utter nonsense. Even if that molecule's shape is approximately correct it simply shows that the molecule is that shape and that humans are good at pattern matching and making stuff up. There are a myriad shapes of molecules: do they show there are other gods?

There are three fundamental questions for anyone advocating Brexit:

1. What, precisely, are the significant and tangible benefits of leaving the EU?
2. What damage to the UK and its citizens is an acceptable price to pay for those benefits?
3. Which ruling of the ECJ is most persuasive of the need to leave its jurisdiction?

And of course, spaghetti is shaped just like His Noodly Appendage.

I hope you cleaned it up.

But how do you know it was Jesus and not his brother?
