    Baby Jesus to get GPS

    Someone stole a baby Jesus from a Florida display and after being replaced (by a Jewish man) the baby Jesus figure will be fitted with GPS. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7158698.stm This looks exactly like the "Jesus" I grew up learning about. Jesus is a blond haired, blue-eyed kid.
