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.

I can totaly understand that, it's also good to see. Desert can only be done in
so many ways...

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...

If anyone could master that, it's you.

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.

He's just that kind of guy I suppose :)

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.

That's not an issue at all over here, no seat covers. I suppose we swedes don't
need different toilets to feel like induviduals. They're all made by the same
company, more or less.

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.

At least you did not paint the actual brick :)

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.

Welcome.

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.

Good thinking, we don't want anyone to get hurt :)
