      Aaaand now that word looks weird.

      Semantic satiation

      Semantic satiation is a psychological phenomenon in which repetition causes a word or phrase to temporarily lose meaning for the listener,[1] who then perceives the speech as repeated meaningless sounds. Extended inspection or analysis (staring at the word or phrase for a long time) in place of repetition also produces the same effect.

    Tsk tsk, only 8 Jesus stickers. Doesn’t meet the requirement of 9 to get into heaven. What a shame.

      Think of those as 3 rows in a table and read them from the top down, then it makes a bit more sense:

      Left Middle Right
      Honk if u love Jesus Jesus saves Honk if u love Jesus

      …still an absolute clusterf*ck either way tho. And every time I read it, I get the “magic baby” song from Labyrinth stuck in my head.

      ♫ “Honk Jesus, honk!” ♪

    Do you think they got a Toyota so it would have an extra cross on there for free?
