   Lv 15:16 - Nice touch with the uneaten pizza, very bachelor like. “Hmm, should I eat this pizza? Nah! I think I’ll just xxx a bit first.”

What bachelor among us has never found himself facing the pizza vs. xxx priority dilemma?

   The couch and lamp is also very well done, as is the plant!

Thanks, it’s fun to work on such modern domestic scenes after having the Israelites wandering the ancient wilderness for so long.

   Lv 15:16 - Nice bathtub, toilet seat and that soap reminds me of Fight Club, extra points for that!

If only I could get Meatloaf to appear in The Brick Testament...

   Lv 15:17 - Nice washing equipment, except -as you already pointed out- the washer should not have top loading and round glass. Still it’s makes it even more washer like. The face is a tad un-bachelorius, he’s to happy down there and I can’t seem to find any white round 1 x 1 plates to explain that...

Point well taken. He seems a little too happy to be doing his own laundry. I’m guess I’m just never quite sure if and when I can change a minifig’s face between illustrations and still have it be clear that it’s supposed to be the same person -- especially in a situation like this where the rest of his outfit changes between illustrations as well. Plus, I think that once you use Flex for someone’s face, it’s hard to switch to another face and have it look like the same person.

   Lv 15:18 - New toilet seat, does it suggest a “bring the seat down dear”-theme or am I trying to hard to see things which are not there?

I guess it’s there to suggest that it’s not necessarily the same bathroom as before. Perhaps it’s a sly commentary on the state of modern American bathrooms: save for some slight variation in toilet seat covers, they all look the same. It’s an issue I feel very strongly about.

   Lv 15:24 - I hope you don’t have a floor like that at home :) Neat touch to change the time!

Fortunately, that flooring is not based on anything in my house. @8^)

   Lv 15:28 - Nice wall calendar!

I felt a little guilty about using Photoshop to add the red x’s to mark the days counted off, but I wasn’t sure how else to illustrate that Bible verse.

   Homosexuality

Lv 18:22 - Is that vase clickits? Also seen previously but in a non-girlish color. Nice floor!

I’m not sure if it’s a Click-Its element. I picked up a small bag full of those ‘bead’ pieces at a shop in LEGOland while at BricksWest last February, which is a while before the Click-its line was released. But certainly the piece is meant to be part of LEGO jewelry, so it could at least be considered as proto-Click-Its in nature.

   Lv 18:13 - Bring on the pitchfork! Really looks like a mob in true witch-hunt manner!

It’s so easy to turn a small crowd into a mob: just give one guy a pitchfork, another guy a torch, and voila!

   Incest

Lv 18:14 - Perhaps you could have done the burning corpses in a more semi-burnt state. Perhaps one skeleton leg and this face: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=234048 It would display more pain in the burning process IMHO.

Not a bad idea at all. Next time I show some unfortunate souls being burnt alive, I will certainly consider that method. Thanks.

   The fire fighter is a bizarre detail.

I suppose so. I just figured that since this is an officially-sanctioned community burning-at-the-stake, a fire marshall might be present to keep the fire under control.

   Keep ‘em coming master!

Sir, yes, sir!
