Who Would Have Thought?

I could never be a Baptist as I'm a bit aquaphobic.
I need water but not too much of it.
Not only just plain stupid but the guy who started the baptism craze (John the Baptist or whatever was his real name) fed on locusts.
I couldn't do that either as I don't like swarming insects.
Orthopterophobia is fear of locusts.
Even worse, maybe dousing yourself in water attracts them.
Of course, some believe he didn't.

According to Reverend Robert Taylor, the priest imprisoned for blasphemy, Taylor argues that John the Baptist is a mythological figure, representing the astrological sign of Leo and the sun's passage, rather than a historical person.
I'll believe that instead.

i dont see much difference between locusts and shrimp, except that shrimp have the softer tail while locust have crunchy legs.

theres always a middle ground:
