Religious Lamp with Fluid Flow patent#: US 7118242
Jesus said in the book of John, "I am the light of the world." Now have him light up your living room!

But of course, a light up Jesus would seem too simple to be patentable. But what if we add a little animatronics? According to the patent, "Jesus' head rises with light actuation." That's right, wake him up right at his most painful moment.

But the spiritual uplift doesn't end there. The inventor threw in some dripping blood pumps for that I-can't-believe-how-much-this-guy-suffered-for-me effect.

Mel Gibson, why hast thou not pursued the merchandising tie-in?

1. That's AWESOME. Can I use regular water and turn it into a fish tank?
Oh crap, can I patent THAT?

You can have truly Christian fish. Don't forget the little fish applique for the front of the tank.

You know, if 5000 guests drop in unexpectedly.

2. "That's right, wake him up right at his most painful moment."
Oh, shit! That's hilarious!! :rofl:

I have a poster of Jesus that's supposed to open its eyes, but I forget what momentous ocassion it's waiting for. Maybe the Rapture.

7. Oh, I had one those....
...but the kids would never turn the light off at bedtime.

"Bling-Bling" Jesus is a favorite as well...

15. Is that why you developed that strange habit...
...of flipping light switches with your mouth instead of your fingers?

11. I'm not sure it's as good as Jesus on a trailer hitch.
Does anyone know where that pic went? From that guy who dragged it to the Terri Schiavo protests?

13. That's it! It's also become one of my favorite phrases.
As in, "Jesus Christ on a trailer hitch, that's crazy." Almost as good as "snakes on a plane."
