    Q: Best tool for removing a nail

    A: The most common tool used to take out nails is a hammer!

    No, Google. I fucking know what hammers are. I’m asking you for NAIL PULLERS. JESUS CHRIST.

        Only according to John. In the Letters and the others Gospels he was tied to the cross, so he would have wanted a good pair of scissors.

            It’s one of those things that could mean a lot or could mean nothing. Me personally I think it was a very important detail, because it means

            1. The author had seen both methods used and picked the dramatic effect one despite knowing that earlier writers hadn’t chosen that way.

            2. Since he has Thomas stick his fingers in the hole it weakens the Thomasian/Gnostic view of the events. Indicating that Gnostics were older than expected, since there is no reason to rebute an argument with powerful symbolism if no one is yet making it.

        What happened to all those random blog posts by tool nerds listing the most useful demolition tools? I know they’re out there. Somewhere…
