Bushazzer's Feast, Steve Bell cartoon, Guardian 6 Sept 2005

[Benbow]

Book of Daniel, chapter 5, verse 4-

"They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.

In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote ...

And this is the writing that was written: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN ...

God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.
Thou art weighted in the balances, and art found wanting.
Thy kingdom is divided ...

In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain."

I guess that Belshazzar's Mom and Pa were not around.
