I've been reading the Bible while nursing the girls (thanks iphone!) and I came across this passage the other day:
11 One of Joab's men stood beside Amasa and said, "Whoever favors Joab, and whoever is for David, let him follow Joab!" 12 Amasa lay wallowing in his blood in the middle of the road, and the man saw that all the troops came to a halt there. When he realized that everyone who came up to Amasa stopped, he dragged him from the road into a field and threw a garment over him. 13 After Amasa had been removed from the road, all the men went on with Joab to pursue Sheba son of Bicri.
2 Samuel 20:11-13
Now I'm not for blood and such-Kings has a lot, but I really had to laugh out loud when I read:
"Amasa lay wallowing in his blood in the middle of the road, and the man saw that all the troops came to a halt there."
There was even rubber necking in the Bible. How funny is that?!?!?!?!
Have you found any funny passages? Please share

"Night of the Living Dead": II Kings 19:35 "And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses." They woke up and discovered that they were dead!?!?!?!?
How about second hand smoke? Genesis 24:64, "And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel."
Hondas in Biblical Times? Acts 2:1 "1: And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place."
Just some of my favorites.
