Happy Birthday, Jesus!

I'm sure someone will e-mail me in anger for posting this, but it's so funny.
The Onion has a story on their web site concerning Jesus' upcoming 2003rd birthday.
JERUSALEM—Jesus Christ, son of God and savior of humanity, confided Monday that He is not looking forward to His 2003rd birthday, saying that He is "really dreading turning the big two-oh-oh-three.""They keep telling me I don't look a day over 33, but you know how they are—especially Peter," Christ said meekly. "He'll be calling me an old fogy three times before the cock crows tomorrow morning. I just know it."
Even members of Christ's family have been giving Him a hard time about His age.
"Dad's been ribbing Me pretty good," said Christ, sipping Holy Water from an "Old Fart" mug recently given to Him by St. Michael. "He gives Me all kinds of grief, telling Me stuff like, 'At the rate you're going, people aren't going to know if you're the son of God or the brother.'"
You can always count on The Onion giving you something good to laugh at.
