Double ultra super secret excommunication!
All throughout the Vatican they’re causing consternation!
Kind of like what Anasigma does with extirpation!
Double ultra super secret excommunication!
(Banned from the Vatican, “Nope!” from the Pope!
Banned from the Vatican, “Nope!” from the Pope!)
A crisis international had made us come to Rome,
But we ticked off His Holiness, so then he sent us home!
We messed the Sistene Chapel up a bit ‘fore we were through …
With just a little spackle, it will be as good as new! WOO!
[repeat CHORUS]
Not only are you denied the sacraments of the Church, but they actively work to send you to hell by decreeing pretty much everything you do to be a Mortal Sin. The only way to have it lifted is to walk from Jerusalem to Rome on your knees while singing Latin Hymns.
Job security isn’t the only reason to keep Mad Science around: Just think how boring this universe would be if we completely understood it. We’d just have psychopathic gun-toting lawyers and their ex-demon boyfriends to deal with. Oh, wait, that would be quite enough.
Also, since psychos usually wind up in the employ of the mads, they wind up getting pointed at the other mads.
I was also thinking: do mads reduce crime (aside from theirs?) if mads are common that a crime might anger them and put the criminal at risk from the mad?
Double Excommunication is how they got Origen of Alexandria.
Double excommunication? They must have annoyed Cardinal Wormer.
“Fat,drunk and lazy is no way to go through life son!”
The next step is Double Secret Excommunication.
This will be the second time you weren’t warned to not talk about double secret excommunication if it doesn’t happen.
I don’t know, but apparently it’s illegal in thirty-seven states
So how much damage did they do to the Sistine Chapel?
Ah, so *that’s* why part of it was re-plastered!
(Though that was probably more Napoleon’s fault)
When you go straight through “Two Guys Touching Fingertips,” the authorities are bound to get a little touchy.
I will never, ever think of that fresco as anything other than “Two Guys Touching Fingertips” from this day on!
Double dog excommunication!
Triple dog excommunication!
Sold!

Ed, where do you even get this stuff?
He has a Doctorate in Mad Filking.
I am loving this so much!
We’re not worthy.
No. No we are not.

And beating your head with a board.
Unless you are Triple Dog Excommunicated, in which case there is no lifting it.
Well, that one is usually reserved for stuff like Pope Rape, Super Blasphemy, or Being the Antichrist.
Darn it! I’ve done all of those.
What can I say? I have a thing for tall hats.

Batman is a mad scientist.
That’s an interesting take, but we don’t have a batman (yet) in this particular universe.
It means they confiscate two phones. Why do you think they call it ex-communication?
I thought it meant you were divorced twice and had to do couples therapy with both of them at the same time.
I wonder how and when Unity and Sweetheart were baptized into the faith…
I imagine a good enough portion of Unity qualified (at one time or another) as baptized to count. And don’t you recall? All Dogs Go To Heaven.
Not anymore, apparently.
Oooh, Our Esteemed Authors are leading up to something with this. I can feel the hairs starting to stand up on the back of my neck. 😀
It is always a fun ride.
