Jesus Misspelled on 6,000 Commemorative Coins
Apparently President Obama’s health care server isn’t the only thing that’s messed up these days, as the Vatican finds out some 6,000 gold, silver, and bronze medals to commemorate Pope Francis have been recalled after a misspelling in a Latin phrase turned Jesus into Lesus, der Spiegel reports.
You’d think if anyone was going to misspell the name of “God’s son”, it wouldn’t be the Vatican. The mistake wasn’t actually caught until four of the medals, made by the Italian State Mint, had already been sold, adds the Daily Mail, so they’re bound to be worth some money should you stumble across one.

Are you sure the name “Jesus” isn’t pronounced HeyZeus?
Hey Rick! That’s not a bad idea. Maybe that’s how it all began. Some drunk desert dweller looked up to the sky and said: HeyZeus and Jesus was born, or was it really Lesus?
Editing is a lost occupation. No one cares about that. At least the RCC is staying up with the world in that area.
