And I made an avatar for a friend today: Hooray team! Okay, so it's not that exciting really. And I do keep meaning to post, but I can't do so from uni, and my internet at home was not at all reliable for a long time. But anyway, here's something to make you chuckle:

Priests scuffle at Holy Sepulchre
By Middle East correspondent Mark Willacy

Dozens of people have been injured in a fist fight between feuding priests at one of Christianity's holiest shrines.

The fist fight between Greek Orthodox and Franciscan priests took place on the site where Jesus Christ is believed to have been crucified.

It began when a Greek Orthodox procession passed a Roman Catholic chapel and the priests started arguing over whether a door to the chapel should be open or closed.

Jerusalem police say four priests were detained after the brawl.

Custody of the church of the Holy Sepulchre is shared by several Christian denominations and each jealously guards its territory.
