The Christian god apparently feels that being mauled and eaten by a bear is an appropriate punishment for making fun of the chrome domes.  As stated in the second book of Kings 2:23-24:

2:23 And he [Elisha] went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.

2:24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.

Really?  What the hell.  So killing 42 children by having them gruesomely torn apart by a couple of bears is punishment fit for the crime of calling out someone’s baldness?  Elisha needs to get some cojones and man up.  I mean, if you can’t handle some kids making fun of your receding hair line then you need to just find a hut, park your ass, and never go outside again.
