This recent article lends credence to an unorthodox viewpoint held by some scholars. According to this maverick group of classicists, the following passage is, in fact mistranslated.Another sign was seen in heaven. Behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven crowns.(Revelations 12:3)
By going back to the earliest accounts of this text, Dr. Yazbin Hamjadi of Jordan has been able to discern that the original phrase read as follows:
Another sign was seen in heaven. Behold, a great red potato, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven crowns.
Dr. Hamjadi, who has been scoffed at for years, called this recent find "stunning and
alarming."
Indeed. Personally, I would also add 'tasty' to the list.

(And yes, I did make all of this up... except the potato. That thing is for real. Repent! Repent!)

It is the opinion of SOME Canadian scholars of potato epicureanism that a potato that big might taste (and I quote) "woody".
I would still eat it.
Yeah, but they're CANADIANS. I mean, seriously...
