When Stephen says "Christian scholars object," he's being a bit too kind to the researchers. Essentially, the researchers are starting from the (eminently reasonable) idea that much of Christianity comes from earlier ideas, and point to Mithraism, about which little is known, as one possibility based on a few known similarities, and interpolate based on that.
@LeonShepard you are so right. I don't own a V or cable, but when I get the chance to watch TV, I puts the remote down after 20 minutes and go "that was it!!?"
Fry: "The 25th of December IS the birthday of Mitras, the popular Roman sun god. It was borrowed for Jesus, who's birth date is unknown and not mentioned in the bible. [...] According to the Yehova's Witnesses he was born in October"
Ó Briain: "Because they saw it, pressumably. By the way, do we not completely loose the facade we're doing the Christmas special?"
oh Lord! "Arseholes day" killing me with laughter!

Guiness takes too long to serve, I hate being behind someone that orders it.
Pubs should have a seperate bar just for guiness. That way people can have that without holding everyone up.

The text in the picture says Father Christmas was *buried* on the 30th. He probably died some days earlier.
