In 4011 A.D., Dr. Idryssa Bright believed Americans worshipped pizza two thousand years before, but she struggled to prove it.
When she counted 3,452 skeletons ordering pizza in the ruins of Spokane, Washington, her critics said that showed only the food’s popularity. When she found more mentions of ‘pizza’ than ‘church’ in ancient newspapers, her boss fired her for heresy. Finally, she uncovered a temple, ‘Chuck E. Cheese,’ where people took pizza sacraments, worshipped costumed mice priests, and genuflected before coin-operated praying machines.
For this, Dr. Bright won a tenure-track position teaching hyper-sentient androids at Truth University on the planet Pegasus.
Love it! And Pizza!
Thanks Howard!
This is pretty damned brilliant, funny, and… sharp. Bravo. One of the best ones I’ve seen here.
aw, thank you! Very kind of you to say.
Delightful! My worship of pizza is more sincere than any of my other devotions.
LOL. Me too! Mozzarella, tomato and basil are known to reward their devotees in immediately gratifying ways.
Cute story!
Very nice, Sonja.
Great idea and nicely done. One of my favourites
Ha ha..and I’m sure they had coke as holy water too 😉
In 100 words. Well done.
Excellent story, Sonja. Well done!
