There lived a crooked man, who made a crooked deal
He kept a crooked cane, and his catch in crooked creel
He stole a crooked child, who cried a crooked squeal
And that crooked little man was broken on the wheel

Report say the man was killed three days ago, multiple witnesses.
But today there was no body.
The cave was a secluded dark chilly place, why I quite like it here, reminds me of my office. An devoid of any messiah.
Police suspect it must have been the jews who took the body.
I ain't buying it.
What we have here, I believe, is a case... of resurrection.
