This is a growing problem. A number of criminals, particularly those in the drug trade, are getting involved with this idol, which actually traces its roots to an ancient Aztec diety. Most ominous of all, it’s finding its way into the United States.

Let me break new ground:

Rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock, Holy Death

Holy Death beats Spock and Lizard, eventually. Loses to rock and scissors, as an idol can be harmed by both. Ties paper, because nothing is for certain expect Holy Taxes and Holy Death.

On any given day, Ciudad Victoria residents enjoy the city's main square plaza with live music, someone shinning shoes, clowns entertaining and food stands offering a variety of quick meals.

Doesn't anyone proofread anymore?

OH! You mean there is another diety besides Obama to contend with?

In rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock, Holy Death, Holy Death is signified by a limp wrist with the hand hanging loose.

It’s just multiculturalism - we need to keep up.

Sounds a bit like a slightly-Catholicized, Aztecian version of the Hindu Kali.

If you think superstition is bad in the state of Tamale Lips, you should see it down in Chips and Salsa (Chiapas and Tabasco).

This new “faith” (and I use the term very loosely) is catching on big with Meixco’s criminal elements.

Although the Catholic Church has condemned the worship of "La Santa Muerte", many people insist on praying to this figure for miracles.

I thought mexicans were so religious and God-fearing that we were supposed to welcome them as our replacements. Seems to me they are vulnerable to cultism instead.

All our times have come.
Here, but now there; gone.
Seasons don't fear the Reaper.
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain.
We can be like they are.
[Come on baby]
Don't fear the Reaper.
[baby take my hand]
Don't fear the Reaper.
[ we'll be able to fly]
Don't fear the Reaper.
[baby I'm your man]

I didn’t expect to find a Blue Oyster Cult fan on FR. But I’m glad you’re here- clever posting.
