Poking fun at my Roman Catholic upbringing.  I don't live in the EU, so they
can't extradite me to Greece.

Legend has it that a Brit named Patrick used the shamrock to explain the concept
of the Trinity to those heathen Irish.  Centuries later, the Brits would come to
regret this.

I wrote this scene last year (as you might guess from the political references)
for a temporary avatar in another forum.  I couldn't come up with a good model
or texture for the head, but for a 90x90 pixel avatar, it didn't look too bad.

There are worse places... ;-)

Who is HWH? There are those tenacious legends about a Roman soldier 
named Pantera, but this one is new to me.

Looks like an obscured-by-beer YHVH aka Jesus' paternal entity.

Ok, but Mary has nothing to do with the Trinity.

True she doesn't but in the catholic Irish community. The phrase "Jesus, 
Mary and Joseph" is an exclamation of shock.

Yes, and I'm sure that there are worse prisons than Greek prisons.  Greece still
has blasphemy laws, and they /still/ enforce them.

Ah! But your first comment was not about /prisons/, except if you 
consider Greece to be a prison ;-)

As far as blasphemy is concerned, several countries (also in the EU) or 
states in the US, still have those laws even if not (always) enforced.
