Yet another reason I'd be a terrible Christian

I can't see the phrase "Spear of Longinus" without giggling.

("Hey, that's not my side." "That's not my Spear of Longinus, either.")

ETA: And it's even worse when I see it written as "Lance of Longinus."

The White Wolf gamer in me is giggling because of the Lancea Sanctum, the followers of Longinus.

"Lance of Longinus" sounds like a 70's stripper name. ;)

"Is there something funny about my name, Biggus Dickus?"

Dude, how many Christians even know about the Lance?

Anyone who read Roy Thomas's run on All-Star Squadron, certainly. Or John Ostrander's Spectre run.

Again, probably a minority of practicing Christians.^.^
